Waiting for the Flowers to Bloom

[Lively, kind-hearted sweetheart × aloof on the outside, clingy and tsundere on the inside]

[Coming-of-age, two top students, friendship, healing, devoted to each other, happy ending]

Everyone in class knew their class monitor was a “nagging queen.” The thing she did most every day was push them to study.

One day, a new transfer student arrived at Nanxi Middle School.

The boy was quiet and reserved.

The homeroom teacher asked Yu Wan'er, his class monitor and deskmate, to look after him.

Yu Wan'er took her duties seriously, diligently explaining problems to Jiang Senyao every day and worrying herself sick over him.

That is, until he came first in the grade on a monthly exam.

Yu Wan'er: “Didn't you say your grades were bad?!”

Looking at the fuming Wan'er, Jiang Senyao curled his lips with amusement. “I never said that.”

The homeroom teacher sensed the awkward atmosphere and quickly waved her hands. “Neither did I!”

Yu Wan'er: ...

The year of the college entrance exams, the sunlight was bright and scorching.

Reporter: “Yu Wan'er, I heard you missed first place by one point. Are you disappointed?”

Yu Wan'er smiled, her eyes curving. “No. He deserved first place, and I'm happy for him.”

Reporter: “If you had another chance, would you try to come in first?”

Yu Wan'er turned to look at Jiang Senyao, her eyes bright and clear. Just then, a breeze lifted the hair by her temples. “I've already gotten first place!”

The reporters all turned at once, looking at Jiang Senyao with knowing grins.

Jiang Senyao looked back at her, his smile full of affection. “Mm. I'll always be hers.”

Youth is passionate, yet fleeting.

If you love someone, don't wait.
