A seemingly innocent but actually socially awkward girl × A seemingly arrogant but actually gentle and considerate young master. In Qu Mianyue's heart, there's always been a name—Chi Wu. She kept this name hidden for four years, until after the college entrance exam. She didn't know where he was or what he looked like; she only had a vague image in her mind. But she had liked him for four years. Entering university, her youthful face was stared at intently by a certain gaze. She followed the gaze and met the person's eyes—Fu Chi Wu. Later, Qu Mianyue heard a name similar to her crush and thought of "him." Fu Chi Wu had never seen a girl like this before, but at first glance, he was captivated. The fog rose, and they searched for each other in the fog. "I've liked a boy for four years, but I still don't know where he is." Tears streamed down the girl's flushed face. After listening, Fu Chiwu's body stiffened, and he lowered his head... The girl, lying on the hospital bed, groggily opened her eyes and saw the blurry face buried in her memory. She suddenly hugged him. "Are you... Are you alright? Are you feeling unwell?" The man asked gently, his ears red... "So Chiwu is Fu Chiwu. He's right in front of me. Does that mean I have a chance to pursue him?" The girl thought this bold idea. "A-Mian, I like you. Can you replace the person in your heart with me?" The boy looked at the girl with a wronged expression, his eyes revealing a sense of inferiority and uncertainty. "Silly girl, I want to pursue you. How can I pursue you if you confess to me now?" Qu Mianyue replied, trying to appear calm... The boy kissed the tear stains on the girl's face and said tenderly, "A-Mian, don't cry, okay? It hurts me." Unrequited love is like a fogged-up windowpane; the moment they reunited in college, their breath blossomed into flowers.
