Everyone at Jing University knows that Pei Yunjing is an iceberg. He can't stand girls coming within three meters of him.
No one knows that I, a top student in the physics department, am secretly protecting my feelings for my best friend while pretending to have a crush on Pei Yunjing.
I thought that as long as Pei Yunjing never showed up, I could keep the lie going until graduation.
That is, until the fateful birthday party...
The legendary Pei Yunjing walked through the door, and his childhood friend, who was dating my best friend, pointed at me and shouted, "She's a junior in the physics department, and she's totally into you!"
I froze on the spot, wishing I could make myself disappear.
What made me lose it even more was that the iceberg took one look at me and didn't deny it. Instead, he doubled down afterward:
"Want me to walk you back to the dorm, junior? We can talk about the details of your crush on me."
"Having trouble with your homework? Your senior can help. It's a special perk for someone who's got a crush on him."
Me: "???" Pei Yunjing, have you got something completely wrong?
Only later did I find out that the moment he saw my perfect exam score in the old professor's office, he'd secretly memorized my name.
It turned out that this closeness, which began with a lie, was a long-planned romance on his part.
