[Mutual Secret Crush] [Healing] [School Romance] [BG]
The first time Qin Zhuo saw Bai Muyu was in the school's little garden.
She was crouching down to feed a cat, and he walked by carrying cat food.
The second time was in the elevator.
The back of her hand was red from a burn. He saw it, but didn't say anything.
The third, fourth, fifth time...
When rumors swallowed her up, she hid in the hills behind the school to smoke, and he happened to run into her after climbing over the wall.
When others ostracized her, she stood alone by the school shop, and he happened to see her.
When she climbed over the wall and landed awkwardly, she proudly clapped her hands and looked back, while he watched from atop the wall.
He didn't know when he had started glancing toward her without meaning to.
Her name was Bai Muyu, and her nickname was Wooden Fish.
Cold as ice, like a block of wood.
Her family struck a blow to her heart. It cracked without a sound.
Later, a hand reached out to her. It didn't strike; it steadied her.
She looked up and saw a pair of eyes that were always watching her from the corner of her vision.
So this was what it felt like to be seen.
Bai Muyu had always thought she was the first to fall in love.
Much later, she asked him, "When did you start liking me?"
Qin Zhuo thought for a moment and said:
"I don't know. Maybe during one of the countless times I stole a glance at you."
