Why Is She So Hard to Woo?

[Sweet, adorable childhood friend × cool-on-the-outside, warm-on-the-inside boy next door]

[Childhood friends + reunion after years apart + mutual devotion + an incredibly long will-they-won’t-they phase]

In the second semester of their junior year, rumors spread throughout Yunxi City that its richest young master had transferred to Qingyun No. 1 High School.

Shi Li, who was usually interested in everything, didn’t react at all when she heard the news.

“Li, that’s Jiang Feng! He’s famous all over Yunxi City as a young master!”

Shi Li smiled. “Handsome, rich, and good at school, right?”

“You know him, don’t you?”

“I don’t.”

But no one knew that this young master, who had taken Qingyun No. 1 High School by storm, was the boy next door who had grown up with her. And this young master, usually unflappable in front of others, acted completely differently with his childhood friend.

“Keep your distance from me at school,” Shi Li said, her tone serious from start to finish.

It was true: Jiang Feng was a born heartthrob.

Then one chance incident revealed that the two were childhood friends, sending shock waves through the school.

On the night of their class reunion after the college entrance exams, Jiang Feng took Shi Li alone to a secluded corner.

Hidden in the shadows, neither could make out the emotions in the other’s eyes.

In that unnoticed corner, the boy slowly lowered his gaze, leaned down, and kissed the girl at the corner of her lips.

“I don’t want to be just friends with you anymore.”

“I want us to be lovers. I’ve wanted that for a long time.”

P.S. The will-they-won’t-they phase lasts forever!
