撒野
[Synopsis Provided by Seven Seas Entertainment:]
Unwanted by his adoptive parents, Jiang Cheng leaves home to live in a cold, gray city with his deadbeat dad whose only talent is feeding a gambling addiction. Alone save for his suitcase, the rebellious teenage boy arrives at the train station ready to face his miserable new life.
But the moment he steps off the platform, Jiang Cheng meets the peculiar young girl Gu Miao, along with her big brother Gu Fei—a boy his age with a musical staff shaved into his hair. Rumor has it that Gu Fei is bad news with dark secrets of his own, but Jiang Cheng still finds himself pulled toward the withdrawn delinquent thanks to Gu Miao and, perhaps, fate. The unlikely friendship that blossoms between them shows Jiang Cheng the hidden depths of Gu Fei…and the hidden depths of his own feelings.
Run Wild: Sa Ye (撒野) is a danmei novel by Wu Zhe. It began serialization in 2016 and ran for 145 chapters (plus 5 Extras), and is available to read in Chinese on JJWXC.
The series has received an audio drama adaptation, as well as a manhua adaptation; the latter of which was previously available in Chinese on Kuaikan. An English translation of the manhua was previously available in digital format on Tappytoon, but has also since become unavailable.
The series also inspired a live-action adaptation by the name of Chasing the Light (左肩有你), which wrapped production in 2021 but remains unreleased. A donghua adaptation was announced by Tencent Penguin Pictures and has not had any updates since a short trailer in 2021.
