Keep Telling Yourself That

Someone once said, “A relationship should start with a bouquet of flowers and a proper confession. So, Xu Zhizhi, the roses are in bloom...”

In public, he was quiet and carefree. In private, he was bold, unrestrained, and always getting into trouble. With her, he was full of wild thoughts and utterly shameless.

But she was insecure, timid, and shy, with social anxiety. Afraid of getting hurt because she lacked a sense of security, she'd never revealed her true thoughts to anyone.

He was so wonderful. With all her flaws, how could she stand beside him and walk forward together?

“Some people are best locked away in your heart. Let those unspoken feelings become memories, tangled up with each other. Maybe one day, you'll be able to let go?”

She always hoped that these words, which denied what she truly felt, would somehow reach him.

“Xu Zhizhi, keep pretending! You can only like me, and you have to like me!”

“Su Zhizhi, what is wrong with you?”

“How did you know? My condition is called ‘whenever you stubbornly deny your feelings, I want to kiss you.’”
