Embracing as the Moon Rises

[Both leads are inexperienced in love, one-on-one romance, secret identities, a reunion after years apart, healing, and a sweet romance! If it's not your thing, just move on; please don't flame it. It's very sweet.]

Lin Mian and Shen Qingyan sat together for all three years of high school, and Lin Mian had a crush on him for all three years.

To Lin Mian, Shen Qingyan was like the moon: cool on the surface, but gentle at heart. He patiently helped her with her homework, brought her favorite White Rabbit candies, and promised they would both try to get into a top university, H University...

Then, shortly before graduation, Lin Mian's family's company went bankrupt and her parents died. The once-wealthy heiress of the Lin Group became a helpless girl, and Shen Qingyan was the only light in her life.

But Lin Mian always felt he saw her as a little sister, so she decided to confess her feelings on graduation day.

When the day came, however, she saw so many girls confessing to Shen Qingyan that she quietly slipped away. She knew he was exceptional, and that now, with nothing to her name, she wasn't good enough for him. He had plenty of choices, and deserved someone better.

And so she left for five years.

Five years later, they met again on the H University campus.

Shen Qingyan said, “I tried to win you over slowly before, but it didn't work.”

“Now I'm going to try a different way.”

As Shen Qingyan flirted with her again and again, Lin Mian finally understood:

“So the moon had already embraced me.”
