Mutual crush | Reunion after years apart | Secret love comes true
Blurb:
In high school, Jiang Qilu often saw a name on the grade's honor roll: Bai Xunyu.
The top student who always ranked first, handsome and cool, an unreachable presence like a flower blooming on a high mountain.
She couldn't help falling for him.
Girls were always falling for him. Why would he ever fall for a girl as boisterous as her?
One day, she caught the school beauty confessing to him. On a whim, she wrote a fanfic about him and posted it on the school forum. The post stayed popular for years, and their classmates enthusiastically shipped the couple.
After the college entrance exams, she fled overseas overnight, afraid her secret would come out. Ten years later, she returned to the country, only to find that the top student had become a top-tier star in the music industry, adored by countless fans and even more dazzling than before. They had no connection anymore.
Until, while she was working at a law firm, a man with a cold expression blocked her path. Her colleagues were all asking him for autographs, while she turned and tried to escape.
Someone asked if she didn't know the celebrity. She waved them off. "I don't know him. I don't follow him."
The man smiled instead of getting angry. "You don't know me? I don't mind helping Attorney Jiang jog her memory."
Memories of everything that had happened came flooding back. Terrified, Jiang Qilu posted on Xiaohongshu asking: What should I do if my secret crush is taking revenge on me?
-
Bai Xunyu had been in the industry for years without a single dating rumor. Everyone thought he had eyes only for work and would never fall in love with anyone.
No one knew that, in private, he shamelessly took up all of Jiang Qilu's free time, bringing her along to gather inspiration, record music, and eat...
Doing everything couples do.
Jiang Qilu naturally assumed this was his way of making her "pay him back."
She never expected that one night, she would find a heavy photo album in a drawer at his home, with fervent confessions written on the backs of the pictures.
"I like you, I like you, I like you. The important things have to be said three times."
"I don't want you looking at anyone else, ignoring me, or leaving me."
"Jiang Qilu, I miss you so much."
The album fell to the floor. She looked up and met the man's deep gaze. His cool palm covered the back of her neck, and his hot breath brushed her ear. "Attorney Jiang, you haven't paid me back today."
'I love you. I don't know how long I've loved you.'
Bonus Scene:
One day, Bai Xunyu, who never posted on social media, suddenly updated his status: "I finally got what I waited for."
The photo showed two people holding hands by the sea, seen from behind.
The whole internet erupted, everyone discussing how a famously unlinked and cool celebrity had suddenly announced his relationship in such a humble tone.
Cool?
Not at all.
When Jiang Qilu saw the post, Bai Xunyu was clinging to her and kissing her, his voice husky. "Baby, come and taste me."
Reader's Guide:
1. 1v1, both are each other's first and only, HE, everyday-life sweet romance, seventy percent sweet
2. Few entertainment-industry elements
3. The heroine was rather flamboyant in high school and isn't perfect
4. The heroine wasn't actually shipping the hero with someone else. She had another reason for writing the story, and rumors were already circulating beforehand. She sincerely apologizes later. People grow.
5. The hero can speak his mind, with no pointless misunderstandings
6. A two-person romance focused on the relationship. Neither the main story nor the extra chapters will feature other supporting characters' storylines. The plot serves the romance. Don't relate it to real life or overanalyze it.
