Shen Zhiyi likes Gu Yan. The whole school knows it.
The news spread roughly like this: her deskmate Xu Hao found out, then the girl in front of her, Lin Mengmeng, then the class next door, then the grade director. Even the lunch lady in the cafeteria knew. The only person who didn't was Gu Yan himself: the boy who sat beside her every day, borrowed her notes, and helped her with math problems.
"Shen Zhiyi likes you."
"? Doesn't she like math?"
Shen Zhiyi: ...Fine. Let the world end already.
In 2018, at Linchuan No. 1 High School, Class 3 of Grade 11. No phones, just the school BBS, passed notes, and milk secretly handed over during evening study. Shen Zhiyi's secret crush is a solo performance broadcast to the entire school, while the leading man calmly works on his physics test backstage.
From her crush being exposed to the whole school gossiping, from growing mutual affection to finding their way to each other, from everyday school life to the gaokao sprint: this is a sweet story about "the whole world playing matchmaker, while the male lead is the only one who doesn't get it."
Theme: The most beautiful thing about youth isn't having your secret crush discovered. It's that just as you start to like someone, they're already making their way toward you too.
