A Heart’s Flutter Is a Love You Can’t Hide

1v1, both each other's first and only, childhood sweethearts, mutual devotion The Cheng family has a daughter named Cheng Xun. She and the eldest son of the Tang family grew up together, close since childhood. From the moment they first met, their parents quietly arranged a betrothal, hoping to join their families and double their happiness. Everyone says the eldest Tang son is unruly, proud, and aloof, but whenever the girl is upset or throws a tantrum, he willingly bows his head before her, just to make her smile. He indulges her in every way and spoils her without end. Everyone says their parents arranged the betrothal perfectly: now the young master has someone to hold his heart. Later, because of something the girl said “I've liked someone for so many years” Young Master Tang hid his feelings away again and again, until he could hide them no longer. The Cheng family's young daughter, Cheng Xun, is sweet, gentle, and lovely, with excellent grades. Everyone says Cheng Xun is even-tempered and kind, but only she knows that whenever someone confesses to Tang Jing, the inferiority she feels surges through her like a tidal wave, engulfing her heart. “I love you.” Those four words are feelings Cheng Xun has long planned to confess, feelings she has kept hidden for far, far too long. They are her reckless courage, the wall she has already run into, the person she longs for, and the secret thoughts of a young girl. Ishikawa Takuboku once wrote: “To bury one's flushed cheeks in soft, fresh snow, and try falling in love like that.” Every time I see you, my heart pounds, and you are there in every beat.
