[Mutual pining + reunion after years apart + marriage before love + slow, everyday romance]
Just after graduating from college, Sheng Xia took a teaching job at Xiangcheng No. 1 High School. By chance, she found the diary of a senior student named Chu Xue.
Its pages were filled with the girl’s unspoken feelings for her new teacher, Sheng Xia herself.
Without letting on that she knew, Sheng Xia locked the diary in her desk drawer and carried on teaching as usual, her expression unchanged.
Four years later, Chu Xue returned to her alma mater as a teacher.
With a radiant smile, she held out her hand to Sheng Xia. “Ms. Sheng, long time no see.”
Sheng Xia thought fate had brought them together again after all these years, until she saw a brand-new diary on her desk, along with a note:
“Ms. Sheng, the one you sneaked a look at four years ago was the first draft.”
“This one is the sequel.”
I've been single-player for so long, so I'd better give myself some encouragement!
