Childhood friends become lovers, summer days full of romantic sparks.
Devoted, clear-headed romantic × sweet-and-salty, tsundere cuddle bug
Jiang Shuyin was utterly surprised when Yan Sifang, who had lived across the street from her years ago, moved back.
The chubby little boy who used to follow her around had grown into a strikingly handsome man, but he was still just as bad at respecting personal boundaries as he’d been as a child.
His flirtatious warmth gradually went to her head, and she fell for him.
Ever since childhood, Yan Sifang’s heart and eyes had been filled with the big-eyed girl named Jiang Shuyin.
Back by her side again, years of affection and longing made it impossible for him to stop drawing closer to her, again and again.
He could no longer hide his feelings, and his sincere, bold pursuit fulfilled the promise of his youth.
Watching the two of them spark in their everyday interactions, their friends all waited for them to announce they were dating.
To anyone watching, he treated her like a girlfriend, and she treated him like a boyfriend.
Yet they never showed any sign that they were actually together.
…
Later, she stood at the edge of an abyss, while he sank into a mire.
They had no choice but to go their separate ways.
But their love had always invaded like the unstoppable midsummer of that year, enduring year after year.
