[Timid yet resilient heroine / aloof heartthrob]

*The male lead is pure in both body and heart.*

On a midsummer night in the rain, Xu You learned that Jiang Jixun was getting married.

Eight years of secret love came to an abrupt end.

By chance, she found a letter from years ago and transmigrated back to when she was eighteen, carrying all her regrets. The person she had longed for stood right in front of her, and all she dared say was:

“Long time no see, Jiang Jixun.”

Given another chance, she was still timid and cowardly.

The day she caught him being confessed to, the rain over the city happened to stop. He smiled and said:

“Want to go for a walk?”

Seeing how nervous she was, he joked that she should help him keep it a secret. “Aren’t we friends?”

She wasn’t greedy. Being friends was good enough.

Later, at an escape room, someone in their group asked, “Are you two dating?”

Xu You explained, “We’re friends.”

After they left, Jiang Jixun asked her, “Just friends?”

By late autumn, rumors were everywhere.

Xu You thought Jiang Jixun liked someone else and began avoiding him.

Unable to see her, he could only ask a friend to invite her to meet him at the library.

Xu You resolved never to love him again, and the secret on her social media feed was accidentally exposed.

“Why didn’t you show up?”

“How can you be sure that I’m not the one you like?”
