[Sweet, well-behaved girl x cool, secretly passionate guy | Mutual pining | A gentle, slow-burn sweet romance]
No one knows that Yu Manzi has a crush on the boy sitting in front of her.
The young man is tall and long-legged, leaning casually by the window with a book in one hand.
His features are handsome and refined, and his bright, spirited eyes always sparkle when they look at her.
Watching Ren Xiao's gaze fall on her, she wonders whether he might like her too.
Then one day in the cafeteria, a student from the class next door asks Ren Xiao if he likes her.
She sees with her own eyes as Ren Xiao shakes his head.
From then on, she hides her feelings away, like all those other secret, shameful thoughts of a young girl.
-
Years later, Ren Xiao returns to Taishi. Carrying the regrets of his youth, he deliberately engineers a chance encounter and finally sees the girl he missed all those years ago.
Like a peacock showing off, he happily does everything he can to win over the person he has secretly loved and longed for for nine whole years.
Yu Manzi, however, only keeps her distance, coolly letting him know that she already has someone.
A bolt from the blue!
Ren Xiao is so embarrassed he gets angry! Ren Xiao is heartbroken! Ren Xiao is utterly devastated!
Ren Xiao is consumed with jealousy!!!
Even though Yu Manzi once said that stealing someone else's partner was no gentleman's act
Ren Xiao suddenly thinks that if he's about to lose his wife, then being a gentleman can go to hell!!!
