Waiting for Spring

(Seemingly sweet but actually possessive childhood friend × outwardly cold but inwardly warm and sensitive girlhood friend; 1v1) Also known as Two-Way Crush: The Childhood Friend Steals a Kiss from His Sweetheart [Mutual pining + both virgins + school life + pure love] A youthful crush dares not step into the light, while a mad dog keeps a swan in his heart. Wang Xi Nuan has always been a model student, excelling in looks, academics, and talent. She likes sunny, cheerful boys. It must be in her genes, and there’s no getting rid of it. Yet somehow, she meets one very unusual guy. “Can you make it home by yourself from now on?” “Why?” “No reason. You’re annoying. You come looking for me every day, and it makes me think you like me.” After meeting him again, she can no longer hide her feelings. Dai Zhuyang has never believed in love, nor will he admit to liking anyone. He longs for the light, yet remains trapped in a shadowy alley, unable to break free. In eighth grade, his sudden transfer took him away from his familiar hometown. From then on, his longing grew wildly, like creeping weeds. Years later, the childhood friend transfers back. His appearance and personality have both changed beyond recognition. He seems obedient and sensible, but inside, he’s dangerously unstable. This time, though, he’ll kiss his childhood sweetheart in broad daylight. He lures her in, one step at a time. “Want to touch?” “I do.” “Wang Xiaonuan, it’ll cost you.” He puts on a wounded look. “Wang Xi Nuan, aren’t I exactly your type now?” “You are.” “Then why did you throw me away? Have you fallen for someone else?” “No.” Thankfully, “Nuan Nuan, I’ll be faithful to you until the day I die.” A secret crush is a romantic yearning destined to end in heartbreak. This is my kind of romance for you.
