[Male unrequited love. My next novel will be the unrequited-love story Dreaming of the Moon]
In high school, Xu Shuxing made a bet with her childhood friend, turning the unattainable beauty of No. 1 High School into the joke of the day.
When they met again, Lu Chen became her direct superior, and the grudges of the past resurfaced.
After half a year working together, they had exchanged fewer than ten words that weren't about work.
The day Xu Shuxing gave up hope, rain poured down in sheets.
A Rolls-Royce with matching license plate digits drove past, and the window slowly rolled down.
The man wore gold-rimmed glasses. His gaze swept over her miserable, dejected figure, then, as always, he left her by the roadside as if she were invisible.
Xu Shuxing thought Lu Chen was supposed to be like that.
But that day, Lu Chen got out of the car with an umbrella, shielding her from the rain. Her reddened eyes were reflected in his gaze, and he talked about the weather in his usual tone.
"The weather was nice the day you played a trick on me, too."
"Just like today."
Xu Shuxing, soaked to the bone: ???

Everyone thought the heir to the Lu family was cold and distant, and that nothing in this world could make him bend. Even Xu Shuxing thought so.
On the day her scummy childhood friend got married, Lu Chen took her hand in front of everyone and suddenly made her an offer.
"Susu, you like me, don't you?"
"I'll let you win."

My next novel, Dreaming of the Moon: an uninteresting guy and a fun, sweet girl.
The year Xu Xinghuai graduated from high school, he received a message from a heartbroken girl: [Xu Xinghuai, happy graduation. Having a crush is so hard. I'm never doing it again.]
At eighteen, Xu Xinghuai was a paragon of virtue and talent, admired by countless people and seemingly beyond anyone's reach.
The message was lost in the flood of graduation messages, and he never gave it a second thought.
He didn't know that the girl who said goodbye with tears in her eyes wasn't just saying goodbye to him, but to her entire youth.
Years later, Xu Xinghuai heard many people wish him a bright future.
Only that person said, Xu Xinghuai, I hope you find happiness.

While her father was in the hospital, Lin Shuyang heard that the new resident doctor was highly skilled, if a little cold. She didn't think much of it.
That is, until one day she caught the new resident doctor telling a story to a child.
Xu Xinghuai didn't look at her. He told the story with a perfectly expressionless face.
"Once there was a little rabbit whose surname was Lin."
"She secretly liked a big bad wolf, but didn't dare tell him. In the end, she ran off to town to start a new life, leaving the wolf in the forest to miss her forever."
The child asked curiously, "Why didn't the rabbit tell the wolf?"
Xu Xinghuai glanced at her. "I don't know either."
Lin Shuyang couldn't shake the feeling that Xu Xinghuai was hinting at something.
Seven years later, she dug out her old high school phone and found two new messages from an unknown sender.
[Lin Shuyang.]
[You couldn't handle having a crush, but you sure gave up easily.]
Lin Shuyang: "..."

You said you were like a star, not so dazzling, not so one of a kind. I turned off the moon, and you shone even brighter.
Theme: You have to leave the wrong person behind to meet the right one.
