A Secret Crush with a Lychee Flavor

When Ai Lili was sixteen, new neighbors moved in. The boy next door was named Qin Lang: tall, handsome, lazy, and quiet. Her father asked her to bring some candied fruit over to the Qin family. Qin Lang accepted it politely, but when they ran into each other at school, he was cool and distant. Lili wondered, bewildered: Had I offended him? The unruly, carefree boy was dazzling and brash, and gradually became a big name around school. The girls in her class gossiped and asked, "You're neighbors with Lang. Do you know who he likes?" Ai Lili smiled and replied, "No idea. I only know he likes keeping cats." After all, there was absolutely no way he could like me. Her crush was completely one-sided, buried deep in her heart, hidden away from the light. She was already grateful that being neighbors meant she could often run into him. But during a group outing, in a dim, secluded corner of the back row of the bus, a classmate was astonished to discover Qin Lang gazing tenderly at Ai Lili as he cradled her head, quietly letting her rest against his shoulder for a nap!
