❤️The male and female protagonists have been secretly in love for many years❤️Xiao Xia is here to recommend the book📖🌟 1. A campus secret love story written by Qingyou Weitian, where the quiet and introverted academic tyrant Xu Yanning and the gentle and considerate star student have a two-way secret love since high school. 💐What's particularly poignant is that the two clearly liked each other but didn't dare to confess it, and they didn't finally get together until graduation. 2. Flower shop owner Shen Zhuying had a ten-year secret love for diplomat Fu Sizhuo. From the age of 16 to 26, she experienced many misses and finally got married. The most touching part is the part where the heroine wants to send a love letter at the graduation ceremony but hears that the hero has a girlfriend. The sourness of secret love is very realistic. 💐The short drama adapted by him is also very interesting. 3. 🌟Surgeon Shen Zhining's ten-year crush on CEO Jiang Linzhou from school to workplace finally became fruitful after they reunited on a blind date. 💐What's special is the male protagonist's jealous reaction when he later finds out that the female protagonist has a crush on him.
