The First Taste of Sweetness

Blurb 3

To their other classmates, He Xu was taciturn, expressionless, and kept everyone at arm's length. Yet his features were so exquisite they were impossible to forget.

To Xu Zui, He Xu was a kind, gentle, easygoing good friend who loved to smile and was always loyal.

Other classmates: ???

Wait, are we talking about the same person?

What Xu Zui didn't know was that while He Xu sat with her and helped her finish one test paper after another, her good friend was wondering how to become her boyfriend.

On the eve of a holiday, someone filmed a video on the bus, and it spread throughout the entire No. 1 High School.

In the video, beneath the amber streetlights on a snowy night, a stern-looking boy lowered his head to put a hat on a girl.

The girl haughtily held out one foot, and the boy bent down to tie her shoelace. On his face was a tender smile no one had ever seen before.

Snowflakes fell all around them as the two stood on a busy street, so perfectly matched they looked like they were acting in a teen romance drama.

Everyone thought they were dating.

When asked, Xu Zui only waved her hand. "We're just friends. Just friends."

·

Until much later...

He Xu sent out wedding invitations to all his friends and relatives. Xu Zui's name was clearly written in the bride's spot.

When Bai Li and Jiang Yue were paired together on a show, everyone was stunned.

They were both famous for attracting controversy. One was a beautiful vase who got by on her looks, and the other was a rising movie star famous for his sour expression.

On the show, while Bai Li struggled through the games, Jiang Yue watched coldly from the sidelines and mocked her without hesitation.

No one knew that off camera, Bai Li's eyes had reddened with anger. "Why do you hate me so much?"

"Because," Jiang Yue paused, "you're too beautiful."

·

After the show ended, Jiang Yue announced that he would never appear on another variety show.

The entertainment world spread the rumor, "Bai Li is Jiang Yue's lifelong nightmare."

Bai Li thought the reverse was more accurate.

She was the one who never wanted to see Jiang Yue again for the rest of her life.

But things didn't go as she wished. Bai Li took a role in a new film, and just before production began, news broke that the lead had been replaced. Jiang Yue suddenly appeared as the male lead.

Bai Li kept her distance, but Jiang Yue was always there, impossible to shake off.

Their interactions grew more frequent, and Bai Li had nowhere left to hide. Eyes red, she demanded, "Do you hate me that much?"

Jiang Yue: "Are you blind? I've never hated you."

·

The film finished shooting, but it wasn't released until three years later.

Audiences went wild over the beautiful romance on screen, and the two gained a huge number of shipping fans.

But for the past six months, they had rarely appeared together, even during their promotional period.

The fans had to entertain themselves, combing through every detail in search of hints.

Then, unexpectedly, they found photos of the two visiting the beach at the same time, matching cups, matching bag charms, matching plushies, and records of late-night gaming sessions together.

Finally, they even found matching wedding rings.

Jiang Yue: "That's right, this is my spouse, @Bai Li."

Bai Li: "That's right, this is my spouse, @Jiang Yue."

The whole internet was stunned.

We thought you were just dating, but you secretly got married too?!
