Weren’t You Supposed to Be Socially Anxious? Since When Did You Start Flirting with Me?

【Male lead has a secret crush + both leads are each other’s only one + sweet romance + long-laid plans + groveling】 【Radiant, outspoken queen × socially anxious, sly, flirtatious younger man】 Wen Ye had a gaming buddy. Online, he was gentle and restrained, with a lovely voice. She teased him until he could barely get a word out, and once he grew more confident, he even started flirting back. Naturally, she fell for him online. Only, Wen Ye asked him to meet up five times, and every time he made an excuse to turn her down. One day, he finally couldn’t get out of it, and they met in person. That was when Wen Ye realized: He was Ming Ji, the second young master of the Ming family, who had barely spared her a glance at a party. Wen Ye was furious and let him have it. “Why act like some aloof snob in real life? If you’ve got the guts, don’t flirt with me online!” Ming Ji was silent for a long time before sending a message: “I’m sorry. I have social anxiety.” Wen Ye: “Sure. And I’m supposed to believe that?” What she didn’t know was this: Ming Ji had collected everything about her, and her photos covered his walls. In the drawer of his bedside table, he still kept a hair tie she’d lost when they first met four years ago. But face-to-face, he couldn’t even manage a hello. All he could do was hide the heart about to leap out of his chest behind an even colder expression. After they broke up, they stopped seeing each other. Until one day, emboldened by alcohol, she marched straight into his home. “Ming Ji, do you really hate me that much?” He froze for three seconds, then his eyes slowly reddened. “Wen Ye,” he said, his voice trembling. “Do you know I’ve had a crush on you for four years?” So it turned out he had planned every step of getting close to her. “I’ve loved you from afar for four years and arranged nine hundred chance encounters. Every step I took led to you. And you were the one unexpected thing I dared to pursue.”
