Tales of Class Seven

[Sweet Romance ➕ One-on-One Couple ➕ Light Ensemble Cast ➕ Mutual Crush Becomes Reality ➕ Fluffy, No-Brainer Romance]

Cool, top student Gu Yanche has had a secret crush on Lin Shutong since their first year of high school, but all he dares to say is, “It’s enough just to admire you from afar.” Then, one snowy night, she falls into his arms, and he never wants to let go again.

From a class trip to a haunted house and playing Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai at the arts festival, to turning in his physics competition paper early and flying to Beijing to watch her compete, to the kiss hidden beneath a desk on a snowy night: Gu Yanche has kept his feelings hidden for far too long. His phone is full of photos of her dancing, a candid shot of her from the opening ceremony of their first year is pinned above his desk, and even the blue birthstone bracelet on his wrist was a gift from her.

This is a story about youth, friendship, and a secret crush coming true. There’s Lu Ye, who gets 59 on a Chinese exam and proudly declares, “That’s a qualitative leap.” There’s Tang Ning, whose eyes He Zhixu covers in the haunted house as he says, “Don’t look.” There’s Wu Yue, who wears an over-the-top Ma Wencai costume and gets laughed at for the whole semester. And there’s Qin Feng, who says at a parents’ meeting, “High school isn’t just about grades. Take a break when you’re tired.”

And then there are Gu Yanche and Lin Shutong, going from secretly taking pictures to holding hands, from “admiring you from afar” to “you’re real to me.”
