    He secretly loved her but was unaware. In the beginning, his indifference made her incredibly jealous. She didn't know he was even better at hiding his feelings than she was; she thought her hidden crush was even more intense. He always stubbornly mocked her bittersweet feelings to everyone, which was a burden to him. She was afraid of losing friends and could only remain a childhood friend—a coward who dared not confess. But when he asked her alone if she had a crush on him, she didn't notice his sweaty palms. Unable to answer, she could only ask him if he had a crush on her. Her hands trembled, but she pretended to be calm, placing them behind her back. His ears turned bright red as he reached into his pocket, trying to pull something out, but she, afraid of revealing her secret, ran away. He was disappointed and wanted to transfer schools. Hearing this news made her even more heartbroken. She bitterly thought she would never see him again. When she got into university, she heard that familiar voice being confessed to by the school beauty—it was him! He hugged her and said she was his girlfriend, only telling her that he rejected her. The school beauty's shield: She thought it was a surprise, but hearing such words angered her so much that she publicly denied being his girlfriend. Everyone said she was ordinary and yet dared to reject such a handsome school heartthrob. In her anger, she accidentally dropped the yellowed pearl hairpin, a keepsake from her mother. She cried and looked back for it. They argued, and he returned the hairpin, but the school beauty trampled it, throwing five yuan at her as an insult. She began to hate the school beauty. She threatened him to pretend to be her boyfriend, wanting to make the school beauty jealous. The school beauty gave her money to leave him. She agreed and then lost her memory.

    🌈🌈🌸A sweet romance novel about a childhood sweetheart who directly seduces a troublesome young man. It follows the formula of "a hidden fairy-like childhood sweetheart suddenly making a direct approach, breaking down the arrogant troublemaker's defenses": Xu Jingmo is a troublemaker with all his "buffs" stacked up. He rejects people only by saying they are "beautiful, smart, and a good match," but keeps his childhood sweetheart hidden in his heart (feeling she's not good enough for him). Then, his childhood sweetheart suddenly returns, eating his food, drinking his drinks, and sleeping with him. Her direct approach shatters his "untouched by love" persona—he outwardly endures it, but inwardly he's already fallen for her. The entire story is a sweet and pampering tale of "the childhood sweetheart's direct seduction + the troublemaker's secret delight and breakdown," full of tension and incredibly captivating.
