[Campus Romance] [The Female Lead Has a Crush at First] [The Male Lead Takes the Initiative Later] (The female lead is a bit of a hopeless romantic, so proceed with caution.)
In her first year of high school, Lin Yihe was hiding on the rooftop, eating instant noodles, when she happened to run into Fang Yanche and his friends playing ball up there.
That fleeting impression from their chance encounter on the rooftop in their first year came rushing back after they were assigned to different classes in their second year. Through mutual friends, the two gradually got to know each other, no longer just strangers passing by. A first spark kindled by his looks slowly became the secret crush Lin Yihe guarded so carefully. Unable to hide her joy, she clumsily and boldly tried to get closer. Fang Yanche saw her frank affection, but remained unmoved.
What hurt her even more was that the dazzling school beauty made the first move, openly showing her interest in Fang Yanche and approaching him, instantly capturing all of his attention. Fang Yanche was captivated by the school beauty's radiance and threw himself into this new love, completely overlooking Lin Yihe behind him.
The moment she learned that his heart belonged to someone else, Lin Yihe hid all her bitterness and sadness. She pretended not to care and swallowed the pain of her unrequited love alone.
She thought this crush would come to an abrupt end, but the school beauty whom Fang Yanche had pursued so passionately ultimately rejected him, leaving him more dejected than ever.
In the end, she couldn't let go, but she no longer had the courage to confess her feelings openly. Instead, she chose the most discreet way to hold on to the feelings that had not changed, hiding her unspoken affection in tiny gestures no one else noticed.
But Fang Yanche eventually noticed these subtle acts of kindness. He began to regret having ignored her, and belated love surged wildly within him. He took the initiative to pursue her...
