This Little Thing About Liking You

[Shy underachiever Shen Qingxi x aloof top student Yu Jinfu] [Happy ending] [Secret crush comes true] [Both are each other’s first and only]

In her second year of high school, Shen Qingxi transferred to Yaodong No. 1 High School.

Huh? Why does the name of the student ranked first on the honor board look so much like the older boy who lived next door when she was little?

Later...

When she got her period, he carried her to the infirmary. At the sports meet, he gave her his gold medal...

Huh? Why does this feel like it’s not going the way I expected?

Just before the college entrance exam, Shen Qingxi finally worked up the courage to confess to Yu Jinfu. The boy looked into her eyes, those captivating peach-blossom eyes of his, and answered earnestly:

“I think when it comes to confessing, it’s better if the boy does it. If the girl confesses, people might talk...”

Later, Shen Qingxi worked hard and got into the same university as Yu Jinfu.

Yu Jinfu had planned to wait until the time was right, then coax his little kitten into registering their marriage.

But before he could coax her, the girl gazed at the shards of a mirror scattered across the floor and choked out, “Yu Jinfu, the mirror... it broke...”

Yu Jinfu understood what Shen Qingxi meant almost instantly. The mirror had broken, and it wasn’t the only thing.

“Jin, meeting you again was already one chance in ten thousand; being with you is something I never even dared to imagine...”

Why call him A Jin instead of A Yu? Because I don’t want him to be associated with gloom. I want him to hold fast to a bright and joyful life.

“Yu Jinfu, do you know what three minutes to ten means?”

At 9:57 p.m., I’ll love you without end.
