[Male unrequited love | Long-planned pursuit | Reunion after years apart | Aloof top student x slow-witted blockhead]
A University has never been short of talent. Any student you pick at random is a top scholar.
Yet among this group of exceptionally gifted young people, one stands head and shoulders above the rest. His looks and talents are beyond reproach, leaving everyone with no choice but to admire him.
But he is extremely low-key, aloof and taciturn like a flower atop a lofty peak.
He politely rejects every advance.
Everyone sighs: He's wonderful, all right, but what a shame he's not interested in women!
Then one day, news of his relationship breaks, though the identity of his secret crush remains a mystery.
Everyone is stunned, and posts flood the campus confession wall:
[Is it the beauty of the School of Finance? There were rumors about them last year.]
[As long as our male god is happy, that's all that matters. I don't care about anything else [sob.jpg].]
[We've never seen God Su say more than a few words to any girl in three years, and now you're telling me he has a secret crush?]
[Don't be sad, everyone. God Su graduates next year. We can wait until we hear he's getting married before we cry.]
[So who is she? Does anyone know her?]
In the library's study room, a group of friends gathered and quietly discussed the rumor.
A friend asked curiously, "Yun, you've been spending so much time with God Su lately. Do you know who she is?"
Miyun stopped writing. When she looked up, she found the person in question standing barely a yard away, though she hadn't noticed him arrive. With a teasing smile, she asked, "So who is it, God Su?"
"Miyun."
Su Jiangyue's gaze brushed over the corners of her lips as they curved into a faint smile. His eyes dimmed slightly.
"There are 175 days left until the graduate school entrance exam."
After Miyun passed the graduate school entrance exam, at a gathering.
Su Jiangyue sat among the guests, watching the handsome couple surrounded by their friends. He drank one glass of alcohol after another in silence.
He heard someone say the man was her childhood friend, and that she had taken the exam to keep up with him.
He thought it was time to leave with dignity. As long as she was happy, that was enough.
Before the gathering ended, Miyun ran into Su Jiangyue on her way back from the restroom.
He stood there, looking at her through drunken, blurry eyes, his eyes rimmed with red.
She walked closer, caught the smell of alcohol on him, and asked hesitantly, "Are you drunk?"
Suddenly, Su Jiangyue wrapped his arms around her and buried his face in the crook of her neck.
Miyun reached out to push him away, but felt a warm drop against the side of her neck. She froze.
His voice was muffled and hoarse.
"...I was wrong..."
"...I was your childhood friend..."
[Ten years ago, his greed drove her away. Ten years later, he learned to hide it.]
