Grant Me a Lifetime

In her senior year of high school, Bian Ci transferred schools and rented a studio apartment near campus. Her new classmate Yan Li lived next door.

Yan Li got good grades and was popular. There was never a shortage of things to say about him, and rumors said he'd liked someone for years.

His admirers were always suspicious of one another, locked in an endless struggle. Then everyone noticed that Yan Li spent a lot of time with the new transfer student...

All his admirers: Case closed. Draw your knives!

In private, Bian Ci spoke earnestly to Yan Li. "You should explain things. Don't let your crush get the wrong idea."

"She already knows," Yan Li replied lazily.

Bian Ci encouraged him. "Then you have even more reason to explain. Keep this up, and people will start saying we're dating."

"So, my crush," Yan Li said with a straight face, a cool glint in his eyes. "Why haven't you started liking me yet?"

Bian Ci: "?"
