Socially anxious little sunshine × gentle secret admirer
This is a story that looks like a girl chasing a guy, but is actually about a guy who's been secretly in love with a girl for years.
When Chen Xiao'an first meets Bai Jinnian, she steals his dog before she even knows who he is.
She only realizes something is weird after taking it home... Can someone tell her why there are two identical dogs in her house?
So she awkwardly goes with the property manager to reunite the dog she'd "stolen" with its owner, and meets Bai Jinnian. She thinks this is their first meeting.
It takes Chen Xiao'an a long time to realize something: Are German Shepherds really this trusting of strangers?
So she secretly observes Bai Jinnian, now her boyfriend, and discovers another little secret of his:
"You have to protect your mom. She's more important than me, and you have to listen to her..."
Chen Xiao'an: ...All right, so he's been brainwashing the dog behind my back. He's the real dog here.
Bai Jinnian has been in love with someone for years. Everyone knows about it, except Chen Xiao'an herself.
He quietly uses an alternate account to support Chen Xiao'an when she's still a novice artist, watching her gradually become famous and a renowned artist in her community.
One day, he suddenly realizes that the novel she likes seems familiar. The pen name: Cypress.
So he falls silent, because isn't that him? He keeps his secret identity tightly hidden, afraid Chen Xiao'an will find out. But with every step, he gets closer to having it exposed.
