[Youth campus romance / secret crush / top student / transmigration / bad ending]
[Gentle, reserved girl | Wu Yu vs. bright, sunny boy | Chen Xing]
Chen Xing was the unattainable top student at Mingcheng No. 2 Middle School. Sunny and courteous, he was brilliant without ever acting superior.
For all three years of middle school, Wu Yu sat beside him.
By the time she realized she had fallen for him, he already had a girlfriend.
So for many years afterward, she trapped herself in that campus filled with the scent of osmanthus, trapped in the school days she had shared with him, unable to forget him night after night.
By chance, she transmigrates back to high school. Unwilling to let her long years of waiting come to nothing, Wu Yu approaches him again and again, determined to make him fall for her.
At last, she hears him say to her, “I like you.”
But only many years after her death does she learn that what stood between them was a love out of sync, their entire youth, and two different worlds.
Chen Xing falls for his new deskmate, Wu Yu.
When he first starts noticing her, his thoughts are: Why is she secretly following me? And taking pictures of me? Why is she always sneaking glances at me?
He never imagined that one day he would hold Wu Yu and refuse to let go, telling her, “Don't move. This time, let me be the one to come closer to you.”
They were arguing that day when Wu Yu suddenly fainted. When she woke up, she had left him. He thought she was just angry with him, and that she'd come see him once she calmed down. So he kept waiting, never realizing that his wait would last forever.
He didn't know that the Wu Yu he loved so deeply had left him for good during that argument.
