[Both leads are inexperienced in love + secret crush + winning her back] [Pitiful, lovable campus belle × cold, cunning campus heartthrob]
There’ll be no more “Zhou” in Niannian’s future...
1. Su Nian thought they were just strangers living under the same roof, like two parallel lines that would never meet, even if they circled the earth. But who could have guessed that one of those lines would veer off course along the way?
2. In high school, Su Nian had a secret crush that felt like endless darkness. She made him her goal and hoped to get into the same university as him. Even if they couldn’t be together, she would have been happy just to be by his side. But the night before she had to submit her college choices, she learned at a gathering with friends that he already had a girlfriend. So Su Nian gathered up her feelings, packed her bags, and went to a different university.
3. After Zhou Zichen learns how she feels, he’s so happy he can’t sleep all night. The next day, he rushes to find her, only to see her with another guy. Zhou Zichen pins her against the wall. “Who is he?”
Su Nian asks, “What are you trying to do?”
Zhou Zichen doesn’t answer. He asks again, “Is he your boyfriend?”
Su Nian replies, “So what if he is? That’s my business. I don’t have to report it to you, big brother.” She puts particular emphasis on the words “big brother.”
Zhou Zichen laughs in frustration and lowers his head, his warm breath brushing her ear. “Who’s your brother?”
Su Nian thought her secret love was an anchor sunk to the bottom of the sea. But in the end, the salvation meant for her came.
