Name: After Sending Photos to My Secret Crush
Author: He Zhixia

Synopsis

[College Campus + Flirtatious Push and Pull + Secret Crush + Long-Standing Scheme + Straightforward Pursuit]

When Yan Li was in high school, she had a small role in a campus drama.

It aired over the summer and became a hit, making even her, the third female lead, famous.

When she started college, she became the center of attention.

Even going to the supermarket to buy daily necessities meant being mobbed by people until she couldn’t pay.

In the confusion that day, she took out her phone, only to have it shoved back into her pocket by the crowd. When she got back to her dorm, she realized something.

She had unknowingly AirDropped some photos to someone.

They were none other than photos she had secretly taken in high school of her crush, Xie Huaiye.

-

At the start of his freshman year, Xie Huaiye was dragged by a friend to see a “celebrity.”

Amid the chaotic crowd, Xie Huaiye stood off to the side.

He bumped into someone in the jostling and was about to walk away when his phone vibrated.

“iPhone would like to share photos with you.”

For some reason, Xie Huaiye tapped Accept. The next second, several photos of himself appeared out of nowhere on his phone.

The angles were terrible, and none of them did justice to his good looks.

He was about to close them when another photo appeared on his phone. It was probably a large file, so it had taken longer to send.

Xie Huaiye glanced at it, blushed, and turned off his phone.

-

After that, whenever Xie Huaiye saw Yan Li on campus, that portrait photo came to mind.

She was wearing white lace pajamas, looking adorable and relaxed.

He had meant to avoid her, but kept running into her instead.

Xie Huaiye thought: I must have fallen in love at first sight.

Looking for a Novel with a Sunny, Cheerful, Teasing Male Lead Who's Really Into the Female Lead

I do love unhinged male leads, but I'm seriously tired of the same old thing. There are too many obsessive, possessive, domineering, and villainous male leads who go crazy and act like yanderes. I want a sunny, cheerful young man who rides in style. Modern or historical settings are both fine 🥺
