One ordinary morning, she opened the window and glanced downstairs. At first sight, the first chapter of her secret crush began.
The boy was sitting quietly beneath the trees. The sunlight was golden and bright, and he had an air of refined aloofness. She couldn't tell if it was love at first sight or simply being captivated by his looks, but one glance was enough to last a lifetime. She secretly took a photo. She knew it wasn't right, but when someone was so breathtakingly beautiful, who could resist? Lin Fan was so handsome that it was hard not to fall for him. Later, she finally gathered the courage to go introduce herself, but he had vanished without a trace.
Poor, miserable, and heartbroken, all she could do was pour her bitter longing into a single photograph.
Perhaps because she had become addicted to missing him, fate gave her another chance.
In her second year of high school, she transferred schools. By chance, she discovered that the person she had secretly loved for years went to the same school. Through a friend, she learned his name: Li Can. As a midyear transfer student, she was temporarily assigned to sit with a boy.
The opening ceremony was taking place downstairs, and she was waiting in the classroom. A breeze turned the pages of a book, revealing her deskmate's name. It was him again!
With him so close by, and with the saying that a girl pursuing a boy is only separated from him by a thin veil, she had a new school year and a new persona. She wrapped herself in a quiet, sweet, demure exterior and secretly vowed to seize her chance and win him over.
No one knew she had two sides.
One day, she accidentally lost her temper and let loose a stream of curses. The carefully maintained persona collapsed before his eyes, yet he smiled with surprise and understanding in his eyes. “You’re cute when you swear.”
Lin Fan, a sharp-tongued, contrary, fussy girl who never says what she means, lives by one motto: People can’t act, but they can pretend.
Li Can, a top student who seems cool and aloof but is actually shy around people and slow to warm up, is gentle inside despite his outward coldness. His indifference is only a shield.
