A Carefully Concealed Crush

[Younger man and older woman / sweet romance / secret love becomes mutual]

Qiao Yu accidentally discovers

that Xie Chang may have been secretly in love with her for years.

Who is Xie Chang?

Her younger brother's college roommate, and her ex-boyfriend's half brother.

As far as she remembers, he was just a brat who would bare his teeth whenever he got hurt.

Xie Chang has loved someone since he was young,

but that person is his brother's girlfriend.

Still, it doesn't matter.

He waited until they broke up.

Xie Xu isn't good enough for someone as wonderful as her.

Every time he deliberately approached her afterward was entirely by design.
