Cocky, handsome campus heartthrob × sweet, shy artist | He’s always cracking cheeky jokes, but hides all his tenderness in the little things.
Gu Ye, the handsome star of A University’s physical education department, is bold and carefree, and never takes anyone seriously.
Gu Tian, a sweet, shy underclassman in the fine arts department, is bashful and sensitive. She’s too shy to admit she likes him, so she draws him in her sketchbook instead.
A chance collision over milk tea sends her tumbling into his world.
From then on, he goes to the library every day to “run into” her, pretending to read a copy of Literary History he’s never even opened, while she fills her sketchbook with drawings of him, only for her best friend to see right through her.
He says, “You’ve hit me right in the heart. There’s no need to announce it to the whole world, is there?”
Later, he hides his affection in every little gesture: picking out the cilantro, fixing the streetlight, staying up with her to finish assignments, and filling the pages of her sketchbook with traces of himself.
The whole school is guessing: when will Gu Ye confess?
Beneath the camphor tree, he hands her a little album filled with drawings of her.
“I’m done pretending. All those cheeky lines weren’t just jokes. They were feelings I couldn’t keep hidden.”
“Will you take me, the one who holds you closest to my heart, as your boyfriend?”
The wild wind sweeps into sweetness, and it feels just like falling in love.
