Gathering the Moon with Xianheng

[A Slow-Burning Sweetheart × A Gentle, Refined Heir] [Two Top Students × A Mutual Confession After the College Entrance Exam]

Su Xianyue grew up in the countryside. On her very first day transferring to B City No. 1 High School in her sophomore year, she got lost on campus thanks to her terrible sense of direction.

She stopped a boy wearing a student council badge to ask for directions. When she looked up, her gaze met a pair of deep, gentle eyes. The boy had sharp brows and bright eyes, and gave her clear, kind directions. The nameplate on his chest read: Student Council President Pei Yueheng.

“Yueheng, like the moon reflected in jade: clear as moonlight, humble as jade.” She silently repeated his name, and her heart skipped a beat.

For three years of high school, they were the two regulars at the top of the grade rankings, study partners solving problem after problem side by side in the library, and a pair of tacit teammates cheering each other on outside the exam hall. He shielded her from the midsummer sun, handed her mints to ease her nerves, and kept the feelings he had hidden for three years until the sunset after the college entrance exam.

When Pei Yueheng stood beneath a camphor tree and told her, “Su Xianyue, I like you,” she answered through tearful eyes, “I like you too.” The feelings that had begun with their first meeting in their sophomore year finally found their mutual answer in the summer evening breeze.
