My Cool, Introverted Deskmate Actually Insists on Marrying Me?

[Handwritten, No AI]+ [No System]+ [One Heroine]+ [Mutual Healing]+ [Sweet, Laid-Back Slice of Life]

Because of a promise made in childhood, Chen Xi spent ten whole years pursuing his childhood friend, the school beauty.

But she never spared him a glance, not even when he was hit by a car and died.

He lived for twenty-two years, and only understood at the moment of his death that some people’s hearts can never be warmed.

What he couldn’t understand was why, on the seventh night after his death, a girl he had never met walked into the memorial hall.

She sat in front of his urn all night, crying as she read through an entire diary.

Ten years. She had waited for him for ten years, filling a whole notebook with her thoughts.

Until the day he died, he never knew that somewhere beyond his sight, someone had loved him year after year.

When he opened his eyes again, Chen Xi was back on the day his high school class was reshuffled in his sophomore year.

In the last row by the window, a girl with bangs hiding her eyes and a faded school uniform sat with her head down, arranging her books.

In his previous life, he had never once looked her in the eye.

This time, Chen Xi walked over to her.

“Hi, deskmate. I’m Chen Xi.”

The girl’s ears turned red, and her voice was as quiet as a mosquito’s buzz. “M-My name is Peng Youyou...”

Chen Xi thought that in this life, it would be his turn to protect her.

But he never expected that

When this socially anxious girl, who blushed just from speaking in front of others, secretly fell for him, every move she made would strike straight to the heart.

When his childhood friend, the school beauty, finally realized how wonderful Chen Xi was and came back to him with tears in her eyes

The girl who didn’t even dare to speak loudly showed an uncharacteristic stubbornness:

“H-He doesn’t need you anymore.”
