[Sweet campus romance + love grows over time + both leads are inexperienced + happy ending]
[Song Gewen × Ruan Xiaoxiao]
[Somewhat aloof heartthrob × witty, bubbly sweetheart]
Ruan Xiaoxiao and Song Gewen meet because of a Hello Kitty sticker. After they end up in the same class, they gradually fall for each other, and discover their feelings are mutual.
Ruan Xiaoxiao: “Do you know why tall people like to wade across rivers, while short people prefer to swim?”
Song Gewen was confused.
“Because short people love swimming.”
Ruan Xiaoxiao wanted to try the thrill of a secret relationship.
Song Gewen: “Are you embarrassed to be seen with me?”
Ruan Xiaoxiao: “If we’re going to seek excitement, we have to see it through!”
They thought they had fooled everyone, never realizing that everyone was quietly watching them put on a show.

While they were out on a date and caught up in the moment, Ruan Xiaoxiao asked:
“Song Gewen, why did you like me back then?”
Song Gewen pretended to think. “I thought anyone who got caught playing with Hello Kitty stickers in class and had to write a self-criticism was pretty interesting.”
Ruan Xiaoxiao punched him twice. “I know it’s because I’m cute, funny, beautiful, and generous.”
Song Gewen nodded. “…Everything you said is right.”

When they faced someone who had a crush on Song Gewen and tried to make things difficult for Ruan Xiaoxiao, Ruan Xiaoxiao made her decision:
“Song Gewen, you keep being gorgeous. I’ll handle the sinister screaming and twisted crawling.”
