Warning: These legendary moments are too good to miss!
A triple dose of public embarrassment:
- Underwear joke gone wrong: Gu Ye gets caught wearing He Chaoyan’s red underwear. Lin Wu laughs so hard she pounds the table. “The top student wears pink underwear with little strawberries!” He stubbornly protests, “It’s my zodiac year. They ward off evil!”
- The mouth-to-mouth mishap: He falls during the sports day relay race, creating an iconic “mouth-to-mouth” moment. Blushing to the ears, he stammers, “I-I was just mouthing the words to show you how to cheer!”
- The devastating wrong-answer notebook: Hidden in the cipher notebook are a photo from that school sports day (the moment Lin Wu bends to pick up the relay baton), a candy wrapper from that Christmas Eve, and his unsent tenth love letter: “The osmanthus on your broom smells sweeter than the cafeteria’s sugar cakes.”
A treat for fans of secret-crush details:
- Gu Ye disguises “I want to touch her hair tie” as a physics problem analysis. Hidden in the solution steps is the line, “When she turns around, the ends of her hair brush the back of my hand.”
- He Chaoyan’s rough notebook is filled with stick-figure drawings of the two of them chasing each other. Beside the signature “Wu Ye” is a countdown: 37 days until Gu Ye’s love letter is exposed.
“The whole school thinks I’m chasing the school bully to beat him up. Only my wrong-answer notebook knows that he secretly breaks every ‘idiot’ into the strokes of ‘I’ ‘love’ ‘you.’”
