After We Reunited, I Lost Interest, but He Clung to Me

[Secret Crush + She Pursues Him + The Groveling Chase]

Who else gets it, guys?

In high school, the introverted, nerdy Wen Shu dreamed every day about Chen Yao, the sunny, ridiculously handsome boy from middle school who could make every girl in the school scream. Those dreams became the start of her secret crush!

After graduation, she gathered her courage and confessed, thinking she was about to get the sweet romance of a mutual crush. Instead, Chen Yao acted like he was in some drama, saying, “Actually, I’m just used to having you around. She’s the one I like.” He completely fried Wen Shu’s brain!

Three years after graduating from college, they met again.

Wen Shu: My heart is as still as water. Handsome guys, keep your distance!

But Chen Yao seemed to have tracking software installed, launching into full-on “I’ll never leave you alone” mode. He pursued her more relentlessly than a client chasing a proposal, all but saying, “Run all you want. I’ll chase you to the ends of the earth!”

Seriously, Chen, you lit the fire of this groveling chase yourself back then. Now you know how much it burns?
