Sweet Academic Girl×Sunshine Mint Boy
There is always a faint scent of mint floating in the classroom of the third year of high school, which is the secret that Su Moyi hides deep in his heart. She used to put the folded paper stars into the glass jar at the corner of her desk during evening study breaks, and then stuff a mint candy into the belly of Ruan Zhixu's desk while he was playing ball on the playground. Sugar is the most common refreshing taste, like her unspoken favorite, clumsy and cautious, afraid of being discovered, but can't help but want to get closer.
But she didn't know that Ruan Zhixu had already seen through this sneaky little trick. Every time he touched the candy in the belly of the table, he would raise the corners of his mouth, carefully smooth the candy wrapper, and put it into the middle of the Chinese textbook. Occasionally he would catch a glimpse of the star jar by her window. He would take advantage of the general cleaning and quietly add a few of the stars he had folded himself. The edges and corners might not be regular enough, but they hid the same secret love that he dared not express.
On the day of graduation, Su Mo was timid and did not dare to ask for contact information, so he turned around and left. Ruan Zhixu clutched the last candy wrapper and failed to catch up with her.
Seven years later, at the corner coffee shop, she bumped into a familiar figure when she opened the door. Ruan Zhixu turned around, with a smile in his eyes, and slowly opened his palms - the neatly folded candy wrappers still retained the lines of the past.

"I watched your little trick of stuffing candy back then for a whole year..."
"Now, can you listen to my confession instead?"
Intention: Secret love and response go in both directions. In the passionate youth, you can always find your own belonging.
