Synopsis

[Secret crush + Mutual pining + Weight-loss journey + Cowardly love + Badminton]

In her first year of high school, she weighed 158 jin and was the class “little sunshine,” carefree and outgoing. The only way she dared to get close to him was by using “borrowing his homework” as an excuse. He was top of the grade, always distant and always silent. She thought he would never notice her.

But she had no idea:

Every day, she took a detour past his classroom, and every day, he sat by the window early, waiting for her to pass.

She secretly practiced badminton for three years. His name was Gu Muyue, and he never said a word about it.

Two timid people, from high school to college, took four whole years to go from “I don’t dare” to “I dare.”

This is a secret-crush story that will make you laugh through your tears and cry through your laughter.

It turns out the person you like might secretly like you, too.

“I liked you long before you ever realized.”

Youthful Campus Romance! Mutual Secret Crushes

I want a male lead who’s puppy-like but not a little baby. The female lead should be his first love, they should both be each other’s only partner, and their feelings should be mutual. They fall for each other around the same time, but they’re too afraid to confess because they’re in high school and have college entrance exams coming up. I want a sweet, flirty phase!

Any Campus Romance About Mutual Pining and Secret Crushes?

I want a perfect happy ending and characters with sound values. I'd like a story where the female lead gradually falls for the male lead from the beginning, and their relationship slowly develops until they get together after graduating from college. Please tell it from the female lead's perspective, something like Hidden Summer (Luo Xia and Xiang Nuan).
