After Nine Years of Secretly Loving You, Dr. He, I Find Out You Like Me Too

[One-on-one romance + mutual devotion + mutual secret crushes + love finally confessed] When Yan Xiaoxiao had to open her mouth wide and serve as a wisdom tooth impaction case for a crowd of doctors to observe and learn from, she wished the floor would swallow her whole. Looking around at all the serious, attentive faces, she felt as helpless as a lab mouse. Just as she was about to give up and close her eyes, a pair of familiar eyes suddenly appeared in her field of vision. Even with a mask covering half his face, Yan Xiaoxiao recognized him at once. The moment their eyes met, Yan Xiaoxiao felt as if his gaze could pass through her throat and see her heart, racing out of control. Six years had passed. Yan Xiaoxiao thought she had forgotten him, but the moment he appeared again, memories overwhelmed her like a raging flood. In her panic, she choked on her own saliva and jerked upright. There was no way she was getting that tooth looked at now. Yan Xiaoxiao pushed through the crowd and hurried out of the examination room with her head down, completely missing the flicker of emotion in his eyes. His Adam’s apple bobbed beneath his mask. “Is this patient trying to run away again?” Doctor He’s low voice came from behind her. Before the college entrance exams, the love letter she never sent spread across the school’s online forum, leaving her with only one option: to leave. After three years of secretly loving him and six years apart, Yan Xiaoxiao was certain He Yan must have long since forgotten her. Until He Yan said, “Yan Xiaoxiao, this isn’t the sixth year I’ve forgotten you. It’s the ninth year I’ve been in love with you.”
