[Mutual Pining + The Purest of Pure Love + Sweet, Healing Romance + Love Grows Over Time]
The happiest thing that could happen to Jiang Yu was finding out that his crush liked him back when he fell for her.
The saddest thing was that their love went unspoken. They had been in love with each other for ages without knowing it.

Jiang Yu never took the plunge. Instead, he gently sounded Xie Xinran out: "If I don't plan on dating a girl in the future, and you don't have a boyfriend either, we can just settle down together."
In reality, he was gritting his teeth so hard they nearly shattered.

Everyone thought he must have a death wish.

If an accident hadn't exposed a secret everyone already knew, Xie Xinran might have kept it buried in her heart forever.
After all, it wasn't exactly admirable to treat Jiang Yu like he was everything, then play dumb and pretend they were just friends.
But... what could she do when she'd fallen for him?
