Could I Hold You in My Arms Tonight?

Devoted to each other, sweet and sensual romance + childhood acquaintances + marriage by contract + long-planned pursuit + secretly in love with each other + endless sweetness [A heroine who's cute and soft only in front of the male lead, and a male lead who's gentle only toward the heroine] Lin Qianyu is a cute, soft-hearted painter who's incredible in a fight. While she was still in school, her older brother, who had enlisted in the military, entrusted her to his good friend, Xie Beichen. She has always suspected that Xie Beichen likes her brother, and that's why he's so gentle with her. ☆ He's always mistakenly believed that the childhood friend she likes is the one she has a crush on. He carefully schemes his way forward, with plenty of tricks up his sleeve. One day, after sending everyone else away, he tosses Lin Qianyu onto the bed, leans over, and kisses her until her whole body goes weak. "I don't care who you love. I want you now!" With red-rimmed eyes, she clutches his white shirt and answers in a soft, tender voice: "It's always been you... It's always been you!" ☆☆☆☆☆ One rainy day after school, she walks straight into his arms with her headphones on, listening to music. From that moment on, they both fall at first sight. Later, when he goes to college, he pretends to be an online friend whenever he has time just so he can chat with her. He even comes up with every excuse he can think of to travel a great distance just to see her at school. On every night Lin Qianyu cries until her pillow is soaked, Xie Beichen is there to comfort her. He says: As long as you're willing, the North Star will always shine on the fish beneath the sea. Friendly reminder: This is a sweet little romance. Content warning: The story uses flashbacks and interspersed scenes, and the logic isn't very strong.
