I Like You, and So Do I

[My new novel, Heartbeat Unspoken, is now live. Please add it to your reading list.]

He Tingyu has liked Liu Zhiyou for a very, very long time.

She studied as hard as she could, trading six months of effort for a chance to sit beside him, and two years for an admission letter to the same university as him.

When it came to love, He Tingyu was timid and insecure. She dared to talk back to the dean of students, but not to stand in front of Liu Zhiyou and say, "I like you."

One night, many years later.

Liu Zhiyou appeared before He Tingyu with a bouquet in his arms, smiling gently. "I've forgotten the moment we first met, but I still remember that week. Back then, I didn't like you. We parted in a hurry, and I thought of you as just another passerby in life."

"When we met again, you slowly made your way into my heart."

"Thank you for working so hard for me back then, and I'm glad you didn't give up."

[Novel blurb]:

Chen Xinxiu has fair skin, a beautiful face, and an elegant air. Cool and aloof in public, she's a chatterbox in private. Some people may look like adorable sweethearts on the outside, but she's actually the biggest flirt in the dorm.

Fei Xu is a refined gentleman, as handsome as jade, with excellent grades and a first-rate singing voice. Some male idols may seem like icebergs, but in reality, they have a whole repertoire of ways to flirt.

Chen Xinxiu, the first time she sees Fei Xu: Frail-looking, kind of gay. Not my type. I'm out.

Chen Xinxiu, the tenth time she sees Fei Xu: Gentle and refined, talented, and elegant. The neighboring department made a good choice for their campus heartthrob.

Chen Xinxiu, the Nth time she sees Fei Xu: Ugh! A fake gentleman and shameless flirt. He flirts way too much.

That's right, she fell for him.

# Question on a certain Q&A site: What's the stupidest thing you've ever done?

Anonymous answer: Maybe I'm the very definition of asking for trouble... I dance like crazy in games, then play dead in real life. And wouldn't you know it, my gaming buddy is the campus heartthrob from the department next door... Wait! Stop indulging your gossip-loving minds. Let me make one thing clear: I'm not interested in the heartthrob. I didn't cry when I found out the truth, but I did almost block him.

# Question on a certain Q&A site: What was the most nerve-racking class you took in college?

Anonymous answer: I secretly sat in on his major's class, then the teacher called on me to answer a question. Uh... At that moment, I chose to die on the spot T_T
