Secret crush becomes real | Love grows over time | Mutual healing | Love at first sight
Lin Yuan came to stay with her uncle's family when she was sixteen.
That's where she met Tian Dong.
1.
When Lin Yuan first arrived, she was always at her desk studying, paying no attention to what was happening around her.
Then one day, a female classmate was harassed verbally, and Lin Yuan put down her pen and stepped in front of her.
"Please stop. I'll tell the teacher."
She became a hero, and made an enemy in the process.
At lunchtime, she was tricked into going into an empty classroom and locked inside. No matter how loudly she called for help, nobody came.
So she sat down on the floor and started memorizing English vocabulary.
She never expected a boy to climb in through the window. The moment he saw her, a smile spread across his face.
"I found you."
It was Tian Dong.
2.
Lin Yuan had been acting strangely lately. Even her busy uncle noticed.
The Lin Yuan who used to do nothing but study had joined the student council, and the girl who'd always been quiet was smiling more and more.
Her uncle was delighted.
Only Lin Yuan knew why.
Whenever she passed the school's bulletin boards, she would stop for a long time.
On the student council list, she was right beside Tian Dong.
On the grades list, she was right beside Tian Dong.
Standing next to him.
It was wonderful.
3.
Something was going on with Tian Dong lately. He was acting mysterious and had stopped paying much attention to student council business.
He was easygoing and didn't know how to say no. Lin Yuan worried he was being bullied, so she followed him after school.
In a dim alley, someone had pinned Tian Dong hard to the ground. The person was saying obscene things, and talking about Tian Dong's secret.
Lin Yuan didn't have time to think. She rushed out to stop them.
Her small frame stood in front of Tian Dong. She was trembling with fear, but refused to back down. She firmly said she'd called the police.
Tian Dong looked up. Her silhouette seemed so tall.
