Uncontrollable Secret Crush [Campus]

[My new story, Echoes in the Rainy Night [Secret Crush], is now available: a rebellious, cold-blooded nobleman x a clear-eyed, resilient Chinese-style singer-songwriter]

Since high school, Zhang Yifan has been a famous teenage detective in City A.

His photographic memory and meticulous mind are his greatest weapons.

One stormy night, he became an orphan.

Desperate and with nowhere to turn, he received a generous scholarship, on one condition: he had to protect someone.

Ji Kongling met Zhang Yifan after running away from home one day.

According to the rumors, he was a prodigy who'd made a name for himself at a young age, from a prominent family, and full of youthful confidence.

But looking at his handsome, cool face, she could only glimpse bottomless darkness in his eyes.

She liked him.

But the day his mask was torn away...

"Stop following me." She backed away again and again, her voice soft and sweet. "Thank you."

His pale knuckles were stained with blood. He rubbed his shoulder, gently gripped her wrist, and looked at her coldly.

"You can't run away this time, Ji Kongling."

After that, Zhang Yifan disappeared from her world.

"This little crush of ours, we both knew when to stop."

-

Four years later, Ji Kongling met Zhang Yifan again.

"You've got the wrong person," he said.

Zhang Yifan had never thought he'd be so desperate to escape the shadows of his past and cut all ties with them.

Yet simply because he wanted to stay by her side, he charged headfirst into the abyss.

"I was wrong." On the day heavy snow swallowed the city, he took her hand. Shadows of trees fell behind him like puppets, and his voice was firm. "Don't hide from me, Ji Kongling... please."

"He was imprisoned in this darkness because she was his only warmth."

My new story, Echoes in the Rainy Night [Secret Crush], is now available

1.

Ye Ning is insecure and sensitive. Throughout all three years of high school, she quietly harbors a secret crush on Lin Hansheng.

Lin Hansheng is the school's famous rich young master, elegant, handsome, aloof, and unruly. They come from two different worlds.

They should never have had anything to do with each other.

But she stumbles upon his secret and sees him at his most miserable, injured again and again.

The day Ye Ning goes to see Lin Chengzhou, a sudden downpour begins.

She unexpectedly runs into Lin Hansheng, drenched from head to toe.

The rain crashes to the ground.

Lin Hansheng turns his head from behind the curtain of rain and looks at her coldly, his eyes glistening with tears.

The instant he cries, the world falls silent.

2.

Lin Hansheng has always lived in the shadow of his older brother, Lin Chengzhou.

Until one day, he sees a name on a postcard his brother never sent:

Ye Ning.

The year they reunite, Lin Hansheng still shines brighter than anyone else, but he has forgotten her.

A song called Hansheng, with lyrics written by her, brings them close again.

She tries every means to avoid him, while he insists on crossing the line.

After one reckless night, Ye Ning and Lin Hansheng wake up in the same bed.

He grips her wrist and pulls her into his arms, wanting to kiss her, but she turns away.

"You stopped liking me after just one night?" he asks, looking up coldly.

3.

One rainy night, Lin Hansheng invites Ye Ning into his car.

"Ye," he says, his peach-blossom eyes irresistibly alluring as he slowly moves closer. "Whatever my brother couldn't do, leave it to me. I'll do it better."

Lin Hansheng loves to ruin everything just when victory is within reach. He likes the feeling of losing control.

But when it comes to Ye Ning, the one person he most wants to hold on to, he has no confidence at all.

"This secret crush, my private treasure, I tried desperately to keep it hidden, but it still burns in my heart."
