Whose Secret Crush Isn't Bittersweet?

"Actually, everyone knows that Li Li likes Jiang Xu."

One summer, the transfer student Jiang Xu kept stepping into Li Li's life again and again. From then on, his peach-blossom eyes lit up her entire youth.

When the transfer student Jiang Xu arrived, the young Li Li was dazzled by him time and time again. Her heart, which had never held anyone before, now belonged to Jiang Xu alone.

Unwilling to let anyone discover that she felt flawed inside, the girl always hid her feelings behind a warm, cheerful smile. As she kept concealing her love, she seemed not to notice that something else was gradually taking the place of her own flaws.

The girl thought she had hidden her feelings well, and that nobody had noticed. But when a girl burdened by secrets quietly falls for someone who can never be hers, a secret crush is not merely one person's bittersweet solo act. It is also a silent standoff.

Much later, the girl realized that she could never forget him.
