Synopsis

Blurb:

The first time Shi Xing met Ji Yu was during the summer of her junior year in college, when she was volunteering.

A badminton match was playing on the screen inside a convenience store. As she stood by the freezer, stretching onto her tiptoes to grab a bottle of jasmine honey tea, a pair of long, well-defined hands reached out and took it down for her first.

She turned her head and met a pair of deep, dark eyes. The boy’s refined features came into view, gradually overlapping with the face of the athlete on the screen.

In that instant, her heart seemed to skip a beat. An unfamiliar emotion quietly spread through her chest.

*

Years after their breakup, the two meet again.

By then, one has become a nationally famous, top-tier athlete who rose to fame at a young age; the other is still a newly hired, inexperienced team doctor.

No one expected that two people who appeared to have nothing in common would cross paths again.

Until one day, people saw Ji Yu holding Shi Xing tightly in a dim corner, gently brushing his cheek against hers. His voice was low and coaxing as he pleaded softly,
“Please… don’t leave me again, okay?”

*

After Ji Yu won a championship, a reporter once asked him during an interview:
“I heard that your girlfriend was the one who fell for you first?”

He let out a low, ambiguous chuckle and glanced meaningfully toward the audience, where Shi Xing sat.
“Long before she ever noticed me,” he said, “I had already fallen for her.”
