She had been afraid of being around men ever since she was little, but there were always plenty of boys pursuing her.
The boy in front of her stepped closer.
"Classmate Nan, I've had my eye on you for a long time. Please... go out with me!"
Nan Wei hurriedly stepped back. "But we..."
Her foot slipped, and she started to fall backward. The boy quickly reached out to catch her.
"Don't touch meeeee!"
He had been secretly in love with the school beauty and his childhood friend for five whole years, but he could never bring himself to confess.
Xu Yiren, walking ahead of him, suddenly turned around, her expression serious.
"Yanyi, is there a girl you like?"
The boy froze, his mind going blank.
"Huh? N-no, not yet."
Cheng Yanyi lowered his head, his face quietly turning red.
"Oh, I knew it! How could someone as slow as you possibly have a girlfriend, right?"
Cheng Yanyi smiled and played along, but bitterness spread through his heart.
Turn the starry sky back, and let the gardenias bloom
Before night falls, I'll say goodbye to you.
