Secret Love Becomes Mutual / Healing Each Other / From School Days to the City
[Blurb]
Shi Yu fell in love with someone when she was fourteen.
She was inarticulate, said one thing and meant another, and was lonely and awkward.
But Si Qihan was gentle and mature, loved by everyone, and seen by the public as the very picture of perfection.
But he only thought of her as a little sister.
"If anyone ever asks, just say I'm your distant cousin," Si Qihan told her at the time. "The son of your mother's older sister's uncle."

Years later, when they met again, she finally called him "Brother Qihan."
The man was now distinguished yet aloof, a flicker of surprise in his eyes.
Looking at the young woman before him, he remarked, "Shi Yu has grown up."
He knew he shouldn't get close to her. But it turned out that love was beyond his control: he knew he shouldn't, yet he couldn't hold himself back.
He stared at the girl's reddened ears and couldn't help chuckling. "Why are you so innocent?"
A prickly, solitary girl x a gentle, mature young man
- You are the gentlest breeze on a summer night, the brightest firework in the summer sky. You are the tenderness that has lain dormant in my heart for so long.
