The Me Who Loves You [Secret Crush]

["Tsundere" princess x passionate knight] [Transfer student trope / sweet school romance / open love x secret crush / both virgins / average students / bickering and keeping each other company / healing]

A transfer student arrives in Class Three at Dianqu No. 7 Middle School. Tong Yanzhuo couldn't care less, until he sees her in person...

Oh, isn't this the frail girl who kindly helped me yesterday, only to get an elbow to the ribs in return?

Tong Yanzhuo is as handsome as a male model, but he keeps to himself. He doesn't show off or chase romance, and he's always willing to help others without overstepping. He's every teacher's idea of a promising student.

A lot of people think no one is good enough to spend the rest of his life with him, at least not yet.

Then the transfer student shows up, and they realize Tong Yanzhuo has changed. He's actually the one making the first move.

At first, everyone thinks Tong Yanzhuo has finally succumbed to adolescent urges and is just having a bit of fun with her. Then they notice the two are getting closer and closer. More accurately, whenever Sang Jianing is around, Tong Yanzhuo can always be found within two meters of her.

His smile is adoring, and his eyes are full of her.

He's clingy as can be.

-

At seventeen or eighteen, Sang Jianing is experiencing the stirrings of first love, and she doesn't know what to do.

Because of her physical disability, Sang Jianing has never been able to accept herself. She knows she isn't good enough for someone as wonderful as the moon in the sky. Faced with Tong Yanzhuo's feelings, she is always weighing the pros and cons. Fortunately, Tong Yanzhuo understands her. Because he understands, he is always praising her and believing in her.

"You're wonderful."

Those three simple words stayed with her for the rest of her life.

-

Tong Yanzhuo knows that Sang Jianing fell for him some time ago, even if she hasn't shown it. She's just caught up in weighing her feelings and hesitating at the threshold.

But that's all right. He doesn't mind waiting.
