Summary
[Modern romance + quality fiction + youth suspense + modern city + youth growth + family of origin + healing and redemption]
Lin Xingyao was originally a withdrawn, sensitive poor student who disliked studying, until he met the gentle and sunny-looking top student Xu Zhuo. Through his interactions with Xu Zhuo, Lin Xingyao gradually retracted his rebellious thorns, revealed his pure, kind, and lively nature, and became friends with Xu Zhuo. However, as they grew to know each other better, Lin Xingyao discovered the secret that Xu Zhuo had deliberately approached him, and ultimately rescued Xu Zhuo from pain and confusion.
They had both been lost in youthful confusion, yet through each other's companionship and guidance, they ultimately became better versions of themselves.

About the author
Ye Hen Pinji is a Chinese author about whom limited public information is available. What is known is that the author writes mainly in the field of youth literature, with two works held in the collection: Jie Ze Er Yu and The Dreamless Forest. Judging from these works, the writing revolves around the emotions and growth of youth, and the titles carry a strong sense of imagery. One takes the idiom "draining the pond to catch all the fish" as its title, suggesting an attention to choices and their costs in relationships or circumstances; the other, The Dreamless Forest, uses the image of a forest to create an atmospheric narrative space. The collection provides no further details about the length or content of the two works, so their plots and character setups cannot be summarized further. On the available evidence, Ye Hen Pinji is a relatively new writer with only a small number of works, focused on youth literature and inclined toward imagery-rich titles and atmosphere as vehicles for emotional expression. Readers seeking a fuller picture of the author's work will have to wait for more titles and public information.
