Also known as "He" [Complete manuscript finished]
[Insecure introverted beauty shou x sunny extroverted wingman gong]
Mu Xuandu once silently vowed to himself: Don't draw attention. Don't draw attention. Don't draw attention.
All he wanted was to get through high school peacefully, preferably without anyone knowing who he was.
Of course, that lovely fantasy was thoroughly shattered on the very first day after he transferred classes.
Being called on by the teacher on his first day was bad enough, but his new deskmate, Sui Jiuyao, propped his chin on his hand and smiled at him. "You're pretty impressive, new deskmate."
Mu Xuandu silently blushed, not daring to say a word.
Oh my gosh! This is going to be the death of me!
He really, really couldn't handle it.
He already wasn't much of a talker, and now he had to deal with his deskmate bothering him every so often.
And somehow, all that pestering was perfectly polite.
"Deskmate, you're so impressive."
"Deskmate, won't you invite me in to sit for a while?"
Mu Xuandu kept tugging his mask up, but it still couldn't hide how red his cheeks had become.
Bro, I really do have social anxiety!
I'm not kidding!
Please, I really don't want to take part in those activities!
But gradually, he suddenly realized that maybe... interacting with people wasn't so hard to accept after all?
Maybe... he didn't mind that person's closeness, either.
Without him noticing, someone else had already made their way into his life.

Not long after the new school year began, Sui Jiuyao got a new deskmate.
His new deskmate was quiet and reserved, and seemed to have social anxiety.
But he was really good-looking.
His heart raced too fast, and he found himself wanting to get closer without even realizing it.
When he met those clear eyes, he had to admit:
His heart had softened.

It turned out that even before the fireworks bloomed, I had already opened my heart to you.
