Quietly, With a Heart That Never Wavers

(A sweet, everyday romance, not a wish-fulfillment story, and no golden finger) [Reserved, socially anxious top student girl + aloof, handsome top student boy] [Mutual secret crush + one-on-one, both first-timers + happy ending] [Awkward pining and push-and-pull at first, then direct confessions and plenty of sweetness] * On the first day of school, Su Wan accidentally interrupted freshman representative Xu Heng’s speech. Everyone mistook her for a fangirl of the campus heartthrob. She wanted to explain, but he acted as if it had nothing to do with him, all cold and arrogant. What was that about? Sure, he was handsome, but he didn’t have to go around making such ridiculous assumptions! * After the misunderstanding was cleared up, Xu Heng found one excuse after another to get close to her: borrowing books, playing the piano. Little by little, he stirred Su Wan’s heart, but she still didn’t dare get close to him. * Six years later, Xu Heng said, “Su Wan, be my girlfriend. Starting today!” He kissed her forehead gently, finally giving voice to the six years of secret love. In her memory, Xu Heng had only ever treated her with the occasional brotherly concern and never once crossed the line. So why had he suddenly gone on the offensive? * From middle school through university graduation, from a secret crush to dating and marriage: a fresh, everyday campus romance.
