Whispers in the Wind

[Secret crush in youth + Reunion after years apart + BE] [Insecure, sensitive, gentle heroine & rational, solitary, kind-hearted hero] Luan Mengcheng has been a good girl since childhood, with room in her head for nothing but studying. Then she meets him in middle school. His casual act of kindness makes her curious about him, and a twist of fate makes him her first deskmate. As she observes him day after day, her admiration for him grows, and a seed called secret love takes root in her heart. In eighth grade, her family is struck by sudden misfortune. Her parents argue constantly before finally divorcing, and her father falls into ruin, spending his days drinking and smoking. He ignores her and only knows how to beat and scold her disobedient younger sister. She can only hide in her room and cry helplessly. During those hardest days, she writes his name over and over in her diary, his face filling her thoughts. Eventually, he becomes someone else’s deskmate, and the one small connection between them is severed. She grits her teeth and works hard in silence. She earns good grades on the high school entrance exam, just like he does, but their paths diverge, and they go their separate ways. One day, after deleting her on QQ, he suddenly adds her again. She works up the courage to chat with him, shamelessly trying to keep the conversation going, but his cluelessness and coldness discourage her time and again. Countless times, she considers blocking him for his selfishness and dullness, yet she can’t bear to let go of this hard-won connection, so she maintains their relationship in the name of friendship. A secret crush in youth is like a torrential rainy season. Fate brings them together again, and he becomes her boss at work. She is both surprised and unsurprised. This time, she doesn’t want to miss her chance again
