Tong Xi had never expected that love would co so suddenly, overwhelming her!
It turns out, she had unknowingly fallen in love with Gu Zhengming!
During this year’s Qingming festival, the school was on holiday, and Tong Xi returned to her grandma’s place.
When she was a child, it was always her mother who brought her here, but as she grew up, even without her mother’s company, she often ca back by herself.
Firstly, because her grandparents were getting older, she wanted to visit them more frequently, and secondly... there was another person here she cared about deeply.
Now, Gu Zhengming was no longer the frail boy from her childhood; he had grown much taller than her and had beco even more handso.
Tong Xi was strolling with him along the river; the cherry blossoms were blooming, their pink and tender colors looked stunning, echoing the burgeoning spring in her heart.
Under that cherry blossom tree, Tong Xi mustered up her courage, lifted her head to et Gu Zhengming’s eyes and said, "Gu Zhengming, I’ve realized... I’ve fallen in love with you!"
Just at that mont, a cherry blossom petal fell onto the top of her head.
Gu Zhengming was montarily stunned, then smiled and gently brushed the petal off her head.
"I do too!"
Three words, enough to tremble her heart.
The blush on her face hadn’t faded when suddenly other passersby ca by, and Tong Xi quickly took out her phone, asking soone to help take a picture.
She had successfully confessed, and he had responded with "I do too,"—didn’t that an... he liked her too?
At that mont, Tong Xi felt she was the happiest person in the world!
She was smiling so brightly and even made a silly "peace" sign with her fingers.
Latter, she showed the photo to An Xiaoyu after she returned, telling her that this handso boy was the one she liked, nad Gu Zhengming.
At that ti, she told An Xiaoyu, "Look how wonderful Gu Zhengming’s na is! Zhengming, signifies extraordinary and remarkable. They say a sharp sword is forged through grinding, and fragrant plum blossoms bloom amidst harsh winters; Gu Zhengming certainly isn’t ordinary, he will surely make a mark in the future."
An Xiaoyu laughed and teased her for being vain, saying that beauty lies in the lover’s eyes.
But what does that matter, when one’s beloved is, in their eyes, the best in the world?
Moreover, she and Gu Zhengming... had known each other since childhood; such feelings cannot be replaced by anyone else.
She thought, from now on, she and Gu Zhengming could walk the journey of life hand in hand, but she didn’t expect everything to change during that sumr vacation.
That sumr, she didn’t inform Gu Zhengming but ca back early, wanting to surprise him.
However, by the riverside, under that cherry blossom tree, she saw Gu Zhengming hugging another girl... and they were kissing so passionately.
At that instant, Tong Xi was completely stunned.
She thought her eyes were deceiving her, that the man was just soone who looked very similar in height and appearance to Gu Zhengming, so she must have been mistaken!
Gu Zhengming liked her, how could he embrace and even... kiss another girl?
She stood there, foolishly watching the two people from a distance, her feet as if nailed to the ground, unable to move.
And when that boy lifted his head and their eyes t, Tong Xi felt as if the blood in her body instantly froze, a numb sensation of acute pain coursing through her limbs and bones, rendering her breathless.
