Chasing the Sun, Never Catching It

SC, HE | Pretend flirt × secretly in love|A sweet-and-sour romance

The summer of senior year, Shen Kangning helped a friend catch a cool, all-around top student from the class next door. At the time, she was dating who-knew-which boyfriend in a long string of relationships.

The top student was quiet but exceptionally handsome, so Shen Kangning promised to buy him a little cake as thanks.

The second time they met, Shen Kangning caught up with the top student, who was carrying a stack of exam papers, and offered to help him carry them.

Su Zheng said coolly, "I won't be the other man."

The third time they met, Su Zheng walked in on the dramatic scene of Shen Kangning breaking up with her boyfriend.

The nth time, Shen Kangning kept her promise and brought the top student a cake.

Su Zheng: "So... you're going to move on without a gap?"

Shen Kangning made a face. "Pfft, I'm never going to date you."

Shen Kangning: "The whole department knows we're dating. You're already tied to me for good. What are you still worried about?"

Su Zheng: "..."

Su Zheng: "...Which moonlight am I?"

* The heroine is stubborn, says one thing and means another, and is only pretending to be a flirt. She's actually clueless about love.

* The aloof heartthrob's journey through unrequited love, willingly letting the heroine wrap him around her finger.

* Romance-focused, with an instinctive attraction. Not a pure face-slapping power fantasy.

Theme: Love makes people timid, but it also makes them brave.
