The Heartbeat Hidden in the Chirping of Cicadas

"He is the secret that I dared not tell in my youth, and he is also the only light that illuminates my humble life." On the first day when seventeen-year-old Su Wanxing transferred to a new school, he became an "other" in everyone's eyes. Quiet, poor, and cowardly, these labels made her a perfect target for school bullies. Until that rainy night, when she was stuck in a dark alley, in despair—— Gu Yu appeared. That young man with a prominent family background, top grades, and always being cold and dignified, silenced all the perpetrators with just a glance. He didn't ask anything, but he brought her into his territory from then on. He forced her to sit next to him, blocked all open and hidden attacks for her, and clumsily handed ointment to her when she was injured. He is the star she dares not look up to, and he is also her deepest reliance. In countless heart-pounding moments, they quietly approached, sharing their clasped fingers under the desk and their green first kiss in the library. However, a well-designed misunderstanding and a heart-wrenching "truth" caused her to flee in a hurry and completely disappear from his world. Seven years later, at a city cocktail party. He is a giant in the business world, and she is an ordinary employee who works hard to make a living. In the shadow of her fragrant clothes and temples, he recognized her at a glance, and unnoticed waves passed through his calm eyes. She also saw him, her fingertips trembled slightly, but her face showed just the right amount of alienation. "Su Wanxing," he pressed forward step by step, trapping her in an uninhabited corner, "Who could tell you to run away from me again?"
