[Everyday Campus Life] [Mutual Secret Crush] [A Little Bit of Angst]
This is an ordinary story about a secret crush.
My name is Chi Mei, and I'm a coward who's been secretly in love with Xian Kaizhou for years.
I met Xian Kaizhou in a rather inexplicable way. There was no formal introduction or anything like that. He usually says very little, but sometimes he can talk your ear off. The truth is, he's pretty scheming.
“Chi Mei, you seem to have quite a few problems with your math.” I don't know when he spotted my math test. I instantly felt so embarrassed...
“Come on, Chi Mei, let's go get spicy crayfish!” Sometimes he'd sound like he was looking for praise when he told me, “I booked a table ages ago, so we won't have to fight for one.”
When people picked on me, he'd also step in front of me. Then this top student, who'd been “protected” by the school countless times, ended up getting a disciplinary record.
(Internal monologue: I'm really, really sorry...)
For a while, I had a leg injury, and Xian Kaizhou was always running errands and bringing me meals and medicine.
Just when I finally worked up the courage to confess, Xian Kaizhou disappeared. I'd imagined countless times how we'd meet again.
But when we finally did, it felt like we'd crossed into another lifetime.
