A Secret Crush That Burns

【Bittersweet unrequited love + grapefruit-inspired romance + tragic ending + youth and school life + crush】 Blurb One: Everyone at Xiji Hope High knew Jiang Chenye was vicious and arrogant, and fought like he didn't care if he lived or died. Rumor had it he had a beloved girl he could never have, someone he loved desperately but never dared to pursue. Everyone was afraid of him, but they also knew that it was better to provoke him than to lay a hand on his beloved. They were terrified of the way Jiang Chenye went wild, fighting as if he didn't care whether he lived or died. Blurb Two: The day before her wedding, Lu Xingyou received a text from an unknown number. She tapped Mark as Read on her lock screen, but accidentally deleted it. In an era dominated by WeChat, Lu Xingyou didn't think much of the text. On her wedding day, Lu Xingyou fell apart. Pain wracked her whole body as if her muscles were being torn out and her skin peeled away. It wasn't only because she heard her fiancé say that his greatest regret in life was not marrying the girl he loved most. It was also because she saw the text she'd accidentally deleted. "I've gone ahead in this life. I'll help you make a home in the next one. When the hibiscus blooms next year, remember to leave a bouquet on my grave." "Lu Xingyou, I hope I'm the first person you meet in your next life." When Lu Xingyou casually deleted that text, she didn't just delete a message. She deleted the greatest regret of Jiang Chenye's life. Jiang Chenye drifted into a haze in the grand love he kept secret, sank deeper and deeper, and was finally buried in that long, hot summer. *Grapefruit-style romance *Sweet, with a slight touch of sourness *Unrequited love
