My Childhood Friend Confesses His Love, but He’s Been Planning It for Years

[He Secretly Loves Her] × [Both Are Each Other’s Only One] × [Living Under the Same Roof] × [Love Fulfilled]

How long does it take for a youthful crush to fade?

It was a marathon with no finish line.

When he first saw her, the whole world fell silent. She sat by the window, warm light brushing her hair and gilding it with a thin layer of gold.

From then on, his eyes followed her every move.

On the basketball court, he ran with all his strength again and again, just for the chance to catch the glimmer in her eyes when he sank a beautiful three-pointer.

Later, the years carried them in different directions.

Yet on countless silent nights, her smile would appear in his mind for no reason, stirring his heart once more.

This feeling had taken root deep in his heart long ago, becoming an obsession for life, impossible to quell.

He willingly entered the game, only to sink deeper with every step.

After years of secretly loving her, he finally got what he wanted.

Meng Yuan’s cheeks were flushed, her lips slightly swollen and red, her breath mingling with his as their noses touched.

Her eyes glistened with tears as she asked in a trembling voice, “Xu Shuyang, what are you doing?”

Xu Shuyang met her gaze without flinching and rasped, “Kissing you.”

He bent down, his burning lips meeting her moist ones again. He kissed her with both force and tenderness, murmuring hoarsely, “Meng Yuan, I’m kissing you.”
