He, Too, Secretly

[Complete] Wen Zhi was the little girl the He family brought home. She had a small, pale red birthmark on her face and was quiet and gentle. The girl had a secret: she had a crush on the young master, He Yuzhi. The spoiled, hot-tempered young master loved paper-wrapped walnuts. Wen Zhi always peeled them for him until her fingers hurt. All she got in return was a cold sneer. "They make me sick. Throw them away." Later, Wen Zhi finally learned to hide her feelings, while He Yuzhi slowly became a different person. He bought powder to cover her birthmark and took her out at midnight to buy the last Kongming lantern. On her birthday, the candlelight illuminated both their faces. "Make a wish. Do you want to get into A University?" Wen Zhi asked. But He Yuzhi closed his eyes, his voice rough with emotion. "No." "I wish Zhizhi wouldn't feel insecure about her birthmark anymore." Wen Zhi secretly thought that maybe he liked her a little, too. - But the next day, when Wen Zhi went to find He Yuzhi, she saw him with a bunch of hooligans again. They jeered, "Don't tell me you actually like her?" The young man leaned against the wall, casually playing with a lighter. "How could I?" "I felt sorry for her, so I did a good deed." - Wen Zhi had been fooled for a long time. She saved up to have the birthmark removed and never gave him another glance. Later, the once-arrogant young master waited downstairs for ages, like a rain-soaked puppy with his tail between his legs, until Wen Zhi finally came down. His eyes were tinged with panic. "Zhizhi, I was wrong." But Wen Zhi lowered her eyes and turned to leave. "Don't come looking for me again." The next day, she came back to find He Yuzhi still standing there. He clutched a battered rose, soaked through after a whole night in the rain, looking pitiful. "But I miss you." "I miss you so, so much."

One-on-one, both each other's first, mutual secret crushes Check out my upcoming story, When the Gods Begin to Love You P1 Xu Yuan is sweet and pretty, but she stutters. Everyone around her dislikes her. On the day of her engagement, even her fiancé stands her up. As if things weren't bad enough, that same day she gets a terminal diagnosis: she has only a month to live. She's never been in love, and she's never been loved. Looking at her meager savings, Xu Yuan makes a decision. Before she dies, she wants to find herself some "end-of-life care." She has her eye on Sheng Yanshi, who is always jogging nearby. He's tall and handsome, with deep-set eyes, and looks a little like her celebrity crush. The little stutterer gathers her courage and stops him with a bouquet. "C-could you b-be my..." The man stops and looks at her impassively. Xu Yuan is so frightened she can't get the words out, so she takes out her little purse and shows him the cash inside. "I c-can pay, pay..." But the man suddenly reaches out. He grabs Xu Yuan's arm, then smiles faintly, his eyes dark. "All right." P2 Sheng Yanshi spoils her for more than half a month. He teaches her to ski and gently reads her bedtime stories. The two of them even hit it off so well that they register their marriage. Even though Xu Yuan knows that she bought all of it. Unexpectedly, half a month later, the hospital says it was a misdiagnosis. Looking at how little money she has left, Xu Yuan suddenly realizes that there's more to life than love! She finds him and unilaterally proposes ending their agreement. Who knew the man would take off his gold-rimmed glasses, press down on the agreement for a few seconds, then narrow his eyes? "We can end it, but you still owe me the balance." Xu Yuan is stunned. "W-what?" Sheng Yanshi picks up a pen and paper. "I make at least thirty thousand dollars a minute. I spent twenty-one thousand six hundred minutes with you over half a month. Subtract the one hundred and sixty thousand you paid me, and you still owe me sixty-four million seven hundred and eighty-four thousand." At the end, he smiles, but his eyes are cold. "So, do you think you can leave me?" Sheng Yanshi has fallen for a little stutterer. Her round eyes make her look like a curious little animal. He even drives to her neighborhood every day to jog, just for a chance to see her. But she went behind his back and got engaged to someone else. Until the day the girl came to him and asked if he could be her boyfriend. His little stutterer had delivered herself right into his hands.
