The gods should love all living things, but I love only one god.
Xu Shu met Jing Zhuo when she was sixteen. That night, the stars shone brilliantly. He took her outstretched hand, and when she was ready to give up on the world, he built another golden palace for her.
So even a child like her could find happiness.
“Ah Shu, remember this: I will always be your devoted follower.”
Again and again, he called her name, saving her from the depths of despair each time.
“Ah Shu, do you have a wish?”
“I wish that Jing Zhuo and Xu Shu would be together forever, year after year.”
I drift through life, muddling along without purpose. You are the only thing I can’t bear to let go of.
Xu Shu’s new deskmate was a handsome boy with delicate features, a gentle personality, and a helpful nature. Every girl in the class was completely smitten with him.
Only Xu Shu knew he was an idiot with nothing but good looks.
“Ah Shu, Ah Shu, how do I solve this problem?”
Xu Shu glanced at the difficult problem in his hand. It was the simplest, most basic middle school geometry question. She took a deep breath, keeping a pleasant smile on her face. “How did you even get into high school?” Even the class’s worst math student could write down a few formulas for this stupid question.
He answered gently, like the first ray of sunshine in early spring: “I took a bus to the school gate, then walked in.”
Well... that was certainly an answer.
If no one loves you, don’t worry. Take a little rest. The person who loves you is on their way, carrying roses.
