A Promise to My Secret Crush

Guitar-playing boy An Linfeng vs. insecure girl Lin Tong

At dusk, the stairwell seemed like a good spot. Lin Tong blew the dust away, sat down, and opened the book in her hands.

Click. The stairwell light suddenly came on. Lin Tong turned toward the sound.

Wow! There was a boy glowing with light. Her heart suddenly fluttered as if an angel's honey-sweet hand had patted it.

Bright light gathered around the boy as he climbed the stairs toward her, one step at a time.

“I turned on the light for you.” As he passed her, the boy glanced at the copy of The Little Prince in her hands and smiled warmly. “It's a great book.”

The boy's voice, like sweet dew, fell onto her upturned cheek, sending two crimson ripples across it.

She never thought that falling for An Linfeng at first sight was love at first sight. It was more like the boy's image had already been etched into her innocent heart.

She secretly printed out the photo of him posted on the bulletin board.

To gather enough courage to approach him, she studied so hard that her pen kept time with the insects chirping at one in the morning. Every night, when she was on the verge of giving up and could no longer go on, a glance at his photo became the source of her motivation to study...

But this nine-year pursuit eventually came to a firm end, separating the stars onstage from the audience below.

An Linfeng, can I look at your back one last time from afar? Once I've seen you, Lin Tong will leave. Don't worry, Lin Tong will be good. She absolutely won't come between you and the person you love.

But he would never know that the girl who loved him in silence had been running toward him with all her strength.

“Does a secret crush come with a promise?”

“Um... I guess it does. But... it's a promise made by just one person.”
