   🌷What's it like to be favored by the school heartthrob? Just look at Xu Yu, the childhood sweetheart, and you'll understand! I recently discovered a super sweet campus romance novel, *The School Heartthrob's Childhood Sweetheart, She's Soft and Sweet* (the sweetheart is just Yu), and I devoured it in one go, smiling like a doting aunt the whole time! 💖The female lead, Xu Yu, is soft, cute, and has a charming dimple when she smiles—who wouldn't want to pet her?! She comes to school for medical treatment and moves into Gu Ting's house, starting a super sweet cohabitation life with the school heartthrob, Gu Sheng. 👦The male lead, Gu Sheng, is a school heartthrob—academically gifted, handsome, and dazzling on the basketball court, attracting countless female admirers. But his eyes are only for Xu Yu. ✨When Xu Yu was little, Gu Sheng always silently took the blame for her when she got into trouble; later, when Xu Yu made a mistake, Gu Sheng would take the punishment for her without hesitation. What an amazing childhood sweetheart relationship! Once, Xu Yu accidentally spilled paint on Gu Sheng's limited-edition sneakers. Gu Sheng wasn't angry at all; instead, he smiled and said, "It's okay, these shoes are nowhere near as good as your paintings." 💌In their campus life, their interactions were incredibly sweet! When studying together in the library, Gu Sheng would secretly slip Xu Yu encouraging notes; during recess, Gu Sheng would always secretly watch Xu Yu, his eyes overflowing with doting affection. 😜Of course, the couple also had their little squabbles. Once, when Xu Yu was discussing homework with a male classmate, Gu Sheng became extremely jealous, pulling Xu Yu aside and blushing as he questioned, "What are you talking about with him? Is there anything I can't teach you?" 📖This novel truly portrays the feelings of childhood sweethearts so delicately, without any melodramatic love triangles, only the sweetness of mutual devotion. The author's writing is superb, fully capturing the youthful atmosphere of campus life, making readers feel as if they've returned to their student days. Everyone, let's all give it a try! Experience this sweet and tender childhood romance together! #CampusRomance #ChildhoodSweetSweetRomance #SweetNovelRecommendation

   Help! High school seniors, don't scroll away! This childhood sweetheart romance is so sweet I skipped class to binge-read it!! The female lead's pursuit of the male lead is high-octane and straightforward, while the male lead, seemingly a cold-faced academic genius, secretly keeps the love letters the female lead writes in a combination lock box as a family heirloom! On the first day of senior year, the female lead grabs a piece of chalk and hits the male lead on the back of the head: "Jiang Yubai! Hand over your math notes!" The whole class is stunned—this is the aloof beauty that even the teachers dare not mess with! Who would have thought that this arrogant guy would carry the female lead to the infirmary when she has low blood sugar, his ears turning bright red while still stubbornly saying: "If you don't eat properly... I'll feed you!" Even more amazing is his direct confession! The female lead slips the male lead a note: "We've known each other for 13 years and 7 months, and I think I might like you a little. If you don't, just pretend I got a zero on my math test; if you do, come with me to buy strawberry ice cream after school!" That night, the male lead corners her in the hallway: "The ice cream's melting, let's go." While she's doing practice problems, he fills his sketchbook with pictures of her dozing off. When she's caught secretly embroidering a little sun on her school uniform, he laughs and says, "How about embroidering a heart next time?" On the day the college entrance exam ends, he hands her a Coke bottle with a note on it: "Be my personal sweetheart from now on!" Now, open "Biting Sweetness (His Sweetness Code)" and see 108 ways a top student falls for someone! I stayed up all night watching it and am now rolling around in bed like a maggot, it's so sweet it's killing me!
