Me and My Girl I had a crush on for four years in college is a deeply moving novel that captures the essence of young love and the shadows that come with the fear of confession. The story is set in a busy university campus and tells the story of Li Haoyu and Zhang Mengqi's experiences during their four years of college life.
From their first encounter at a campus event, Li Haoyu was attracted by Zhang Mengqi's passion for life and her love for art. Although their social circles and academic interests differed, their paths continued to cross through courses and mutual friends, weaving a picture of missed moments and what-ifs.
As the seasons change and the years pass, Li Haoyu's secret love becomes deeper and deeper, but his insecurity and fear of rejection prevent him from confessing. At the same time, Zhang Mengqi seemed unaware of Li Haoyu's inner struggles. She was also suffering from career and family expectations, which might take her away from the university - and from Haoyu.
Through a range of college events—from holiday parties and art exhibitions to the inevitable stress of exams and graduation—the novel explores themes of love, friendship, personal growth, and unspoken pain.
As graduation approaches and real-life threats pull them in different directions, Lee Ho-woo must decide whether he will let fear rule his future or finally reveal his secret love. Will Zhang Mengqi reciprocate his feelings, or will his four years of silent longing end in heartbreak?
