Deep in the Woods, Unaware Spring Has Passed

[Avoidant personality] Mu Wanwan has had a secret crush on her [straight-A deskmate] Lin Shen since high school. They secretly loved each other for years without knowing the other's feelings. After graduating from college, they meet again after a long separation. Years later, Lin Shen accidentally learns how Wanwan feels about him and confesses after drinking, but she turns him down. He confesses again on the night of graduate school registration, and the two finally end up together. (Meanwhile, Xie Zhiyi, who always sits in the corner, has a crush on Mu Wanwan. He confesses several times and is rejected each time. He retakes the college entrance exam and gets into the same university where Wanwan completed her undergraduate studies. After she continues turning him down, he settles for being ordinary friends with her.)

“Why didn't you reply to my messages? Why didn't you answer my calls? And another thing! I heard you like someone. Who is it?”

“It's you. I've always liked you.”

But she was scared. Scared he was acting on impulse, scared he'd lost a game of truth or dare... She looked at the face she hadn't seen in years, both familiar and strange. But what she didn't know was that he'd typed those words into the chat box and deleted them countless times. He'd lost his nerve again and again, never sending the message. The person he liked had always been her...

Side story: [Wanwan's best friend] Ye Yichun × [the guy who can do anything except study] Cheng Musen. They got together openly in high school, broke up, then reconciled.
