Shen Zhiyi kept her love for Lu Yanzhou secret for seven whole years.
From the first-day ceremony of high school to her university graduation; from stealing glances across the street to video calls across a twelve-hour time difference.
She wrote every flutter of her heart in her diary, disguising every attempt to get closer as a “coincidence.”
She thought this secret love was destined to go nowhere. She thought there were better matches for him, and that her feelings would never be returned.
Until the aloof, distant young man stood before her with red-rimmed eyes
“Shen Zhiyi, do you know how long I've been waiting for you?”
This is a story about unrequited love.
Or, more precisely, a story about two people secretly in love with each other.
You think she's the only one pining for him, but he's been watching her from the very beginning.
