[Her: Just breathing | Clingy guy: A master of his craft]
When Lin Qiuxia first met Wen Jian, Wen Jian had long, curly hair and looked just like an adorable doll. As a girl who loved pretty faces, Lin Qiuxia was always pestering Wen Jian to play with her, styling their hair together.
One day, the two of them were walking hand in hand to the restroom when Wen Jian walked straight into the men's room. Lin Qiuxia froze, stunned and disbelieving. “Aren't you a girl?”
Wen Jian was so annoyed that he got his hair cut the very next day.
Not long after they started high school, they were assigned to different classes. Lin Qiuxia added a new friend, but the person's profile picture looked so much like a boy's that Wen Jian misunderstood and thought she was interested in another guy. He was so upset he couldn't sleep all night.
His mind was filled with thoughts: “Could that person be him?”
“Why can't she just look at me?”
“I want her to look only at me, forever.”
After Wen Jian accidentally touched Lin Qiuxia's face, he worried she might hate him and sent her a message to apologize. Lin Qiuxia was so sleepy she fell asleep without replying, but he mistook her silence for avoiding him.
In a hoarse voice, he asked her, “Why didn't you reply to my message? Do you hate me now?”
He lowered his head and gazed at her pleadingly, his eyes full of exhaustion. “Then why are you avoiding me?”
