[Aloof and slow to warm up × Gentle, flirtatious charmer]
Male lead has a secret crush | Healing romance | A guiding, supportive partner | Devoted love
1. During the most crucial year of high school, Cheng Zhi transferred to Xiaoman Island, a backwater place.
It was a city she hated.
So, as usual, she put on her protective shell.
To outsiders, she seemed like a well-behaved girl. In reality, she’d trained in boxing for nearly six years and could beat people up without holding back, all while wearing a sweet, innocent face.
She was just as merciless to herself.
2. Shortly after arriving in Yunqing, Cheng Zhi met Lin Qinglin, a boy so gorgeous he could have stepped out of a perfume ad.
The young man knelt on one knee on the gray carpet. A punk-style silver-and-black pendant slipped out of his collar, and the wind caught his shirt, revealing a sliver of his lean waist.
She never would have guessed that this rebellious-looking young man, with the face of a school bully, was actually a gentle top student.
“Little Cheng, long time no see.”
Cheng Zhi didn’t know how to respond, because she thought she’d discovered a secret.
Lin Qinglin had a crush on her.
She couldn’t accept it, and fled from this relationship before it had even begun.
They met again seven years later.
At a business gala, Lin Qinglin stepped in front of Cheng Zhi in full view of everyone, looking nonchalant as he fired back at the person who had bullied her. “Miss Zhuang, you’re making assumptions about my fiancée like this. Did you ask how I feel about it?”
She had a secret no one knew about, a secret that had been haunting her for years.
One day, it would come to light.
3. Lin Qinglin was a researcher at the Brain Science Institute of Jing University. He came from a wealthy family, looked roguishly handsome, and had a gentle personality.
He had always been the object of everyone’s admiration.
But in all seven years at Jing University, he never had a woman by his side.
His friends described him this way: “He’s got a face that screams danger, but he’s all about pure, devoted love.”
He couldn’t help it. The girl he loved was a world away.
Though he wasn’t good at waiting, he was willing to wait for the woman he loved to come and kiss him of her own accord.
Lin Qinglin saw Cheng Zhi again seven years later.
After their long separation, Cheng Zhi was the center of attention. She wore a denim miniskirt, and her long, pale-gold hair was impossible to look away from.
But the first thing she said was, “Lin Qinglin, you’ve really gone wild.”
“Lin Qinglin, you’re such a bad boy.”
“How am I bad?”
“When I first met you, you were showing off half your waist to seduce me.”
His brilliant translator had finally, after all these long seasons, let him into her heart.
