Secret Crush

◆ A secret-crush story. It starts with a reunion in the city. Please add it to your favorites.

Back in high school, Shi Mumin had a secret crush on the top student in her class, Zhou Xu. She was always trying to get closer to him, but her deskmate, Lu Jiayan, always managed to interrupt.

Shi Mumin thought Lu Jiayan was the most annoying person in the world!

He was always grinning and joking, leaning against the wall like he thought he was so cool, his white shirt tails fluttering, and constantly wandering around in front of her.

On the eve of graduation, Shi Mumin traded barbs with Lu Jiayan and said, "I never want to see you again."

Lu Jiayan's eyes looked forlorn, but a faint smile played on his lips.

He said, "Don't worry. You'll be seeing me every moment from now on."

Lu Jiayan kept his word.

He soon debuted as a singer-songwriter, and in less than a year, he was famous all over the country.

Everywhere Shi Mumin went, she saw enormous posters of Lu Jiayan.

On them, his eyes seemed to shimmer with light as he gazed intently out at Shi Mumin, leaving her more and more confused.

The Prince of Love Songs, Lu Jiayan, is immensely talented and can write and compose an entire album all by himself.

He's also handsome, one of the rare heartthrobs in the entertainment industry.

In seven years since his debut, he's had almost no scandals, as if he were completely immune to women.

Yet he writes such moving love songs.

The whole internet speculates that he must have a beloved woman hidden in his heart, someone he sings for, someone who makes his heart race.

Until one day, during the recording of a variety show, the guests were asked to call their first love.

Lu Jiayan called Shi Mumin and told her:

"I've had a crush on you for ten years."

Everyone on set held their breath, waiting for the answer from the other end of the phone.

Then they heard a voice that was usually sweet, now tinged with anger.

"You kept me up all night, and now you've woken me up just to say that? Is there anyone in the world who doesn't know you have a crush on me? Why not just announce to the whole world that after ten years of pining, you've finally made it?"

Standing onstage, Lu Jiayan smiled brightly at the audience and said, "Oh no, our relationship has accidentally been exposed."

The audience: Could you at least try not to look so happy about it?

#You have a crush on him, I have a crush on you#

#Ten years of pining, and I finally made it#

#Every reunion after a long separation was part of his plan all along#
