[Roguishly handsome, irresistible Jin Zhuo x sweet, alluring Qin Yingxia]

[Both Pure + College Romance + Secret Crush Becomes Mutual + Sweet Romance + Light Ensemble Cast]

Qin Yingxia had been secretly in love with Jin Zhuo for seven years. She worked as hard as she could to get into Imperial University, all so she could be a little closer to him.

On the first day of school, she accidentally took the wrong suitcase. When she opened it in her dorm, she discovered it belonged to the person she adored, Jin Zhuo.

Blushing, the girl brushed her warm fingertips over the photo on his award certificate. The young man looked confident and full of life, and his captivating, peach-blossom eyes held her gaze...

At the media club recruitment meeting, Qin Yingxia went onstage to introduce herself.

Jin Zhuo sat in the middle of the audience, idly playing with his phone. The instant he heard her name, he lifted his eyes and drawled lazily, “What’s your name? Qin Yi Xia?”

Qin Yingxia. Kiss me once.

Her face turned crimson. She bit her lip and gazed at him as his friends laughed and called him shameless.

Qin Yingxia had a little quirk. She wasn’t usually much of a talker, but at certain times, it was as if someone had opened the floodgates. She’d become both playful and clingy.

Jin Zhuo had noticed this long ago, and it was thanks to that that he learned the secret Qin Yingxia had kept for seven years. “Youyou, I... wanted to make you fall for me...”

“Sure,” Jin Zhuo said, holding her chin. As if that wasn’t enough, he bit her lip. “Qin Yingxia, with a face like that, you still kept your crush on me secret? You’ve got some nerve... Be a little bolder. I’m all yours to pursue...”

He gazed at her impossibly beautiful face and kissed away the tears at the corners of her eyes. “You silly girl. Now let me be the one who loves you out in the open.”

Stories with Great Values That You Can’t Bear to Reread

Right and wrong are for oneself to judge; let others decide one’s reputation, and don’t dwell on gains or losses. Don’t judge without knowing the whole story. If you’re not involved, don’t take sides. Nothing in this world is inherently unacceptable to heaven and earth, whether a species or a person. We know what happens in the book, but we’re only people outside it, you and I.

🌸Hi, welcome to the world of "Youxia" (酉夏) CP (couple pairings)~ Both leads are virgins; neither has an ex or a "white moonlight" (idealized love interest), and there are no scandals or rumors surrounding them. Guaranteed sweet! No angst! ♡ The male lead is incredibly charming, the female lead is incredibly skilled at seduction, and even the moles on their noses are a perfect match 💕 "Qin Yingxia, can I have a kiss?" See [KISS] in the text.

It's really good! I felt like crying more and more towards the end. It made me cry so much, and I totally empathized with Xiao Yingxia. The female lead had a crush on the male lead for seven years, and I've also had a crush on a boy since junior high, and now I'm a sophomore in college.

The male lead perfectly embodies the idea of "loving someone who is good to begin with." When the female lead, due to her family background, didn't know how to handle her first period, it was "he" who gently taught her about menstruation. The author also delicately divides the relationship into four stages: "unrequited love, open love, passionate love, and true love," perfectly depicting the…

This novel best represents the ensemble cast; the characters aren't appendages or stepping stones for the male and female leads, but protagonists of their own lives, possessing unique youths. When faced with difficulties, they wake up in time to love themselves (except for Huang Li and Zhizhi's trashy ex-boyfriends), soberly striving for their dreams and single-mindedly pursuing true love.

Super good! It gets really sweet after Youyou realizes she likes Xiaxia and takes the initiative. The female lead is well-behaved but not the kind to be bullied; I really want to hug her! 😄 And the male lead is different from other campus romance novels; he's not particularly aloof, but rather quite humorous. However, he's still very cool, aloof, and manly when others bully the female lead!

Honestly, the more I read, the more pleasantly surprised I became. Each character's personality is vividly and independently developed, which I think is amazing. The whole book is almost entirely filled with sweet moments, and the ending is fantastic. I really love this book.

This book is very sweet, but I cried while reading it. That's when I realized how terrifying empathy can be. I also had a crush on someone for many years, and we had the same experience described in the book. The only difference is that they got together, while we didn't. Reading this book felt like reading a giant memoir. I take back what I said, we're together now 😳
