[Fake aloof top student × genuinely timid, adorable artist | A legendary mutual-crush disaster]
Everyone at school knew that Qing Sen’s academic genius Qi Shiye was an untouchable beauty, with a gaze cold enough to freeze three feet of solid ice. Only Wen Muyan knew it was all an act: she’d seen the notebook filled with sketches of her profile, and when she knocked over his award for first place in the grade, she heard his heart pounding loud enough to shake the room!
An art student who was hopeless at physics, Wen Muyan could only hide her crush in the corners of her sketchbook, until they collided in the hallway one day and her secret drawings and his diary full of “love notes” were exposed together!
From then on, the great Qi’s perfect image fell apart:
While helping her organize her mistakes, he was caught doodling “W.M.Y.” in the corner of his scrap paper;
At the art festival, she caught him secretly altering her painting, and he coolly blamed her: “It was too awful as it was”;
At the graduation dance, he ignored the eyes of the entire school, grabbed her wrist, and whispered, “You can only be my dance partner.”
When their university choices ran into the threat of a long-distance relationship, he tore up his Q University admission letter. “Three subway stops. That’s close enough for you to check up on me every day.”
