Only You Can Get Away with This

[The Aloof Top Student x The Gentle, Radiant Campus Belle]

1.

In September, the selection of the freshman campus belle on the Qinggong Academy of Fine Arts forum sent all the guys in the department into a frenzy.

Not long after classes began, word spread that the campus belle had had a boyfriend for several years. Everyone was crestfallen.

When Ji Ningning heard about it, she slowly typed a question mark. How could she have a boyfriend and not know about it herself?

Later, she went to Xu Qian's dorm to pick up some files and saw the prototype for a wood-carving project from his first class sitting on his desk. It was her.

Ji Ningning tracked down the person who had spread the rumor. Only then did she learn that the inspiration for his post came from a story his roommate had told him: “She was the girl he had secretly loved for years.”

That boy was Xu Qian, the art school student council president and a student in Class 3, Year 2, whom Ji Ningning had secretly loved throughout all three years of high school.

Xu Qian had always kept someone in his heart. After their high school graduation ceremony, he hadn't accepted the bouquet she offered him, nor had he found the courage to tell her he liked her. It had remained a regret in his heart ever since.

In his sophomore year of college, he stood beside her at the ceremony for graduating students. The scene was much like the one from a year ago. Taking advantage of the topic of someone confessing their feelings at the ceremony, he asked her, “If someone had confessed to you like that a year ago, how would you have reacted?”

Unfortunately, the noise all around them was too loud, and she didn't hear what he said.

“Ji Ningning, I like you.”

“I've liked you for longer. The you I liked as a teenager was exactly the kind of person I like.”

“Still, I've liked you longer than that.”

“Hmm?”

“During the three years of high school when you had a secret crush on me, I had already secretly tucked you away in my heart.”

Reader's Guide:

This is a beginner-period work, so I don't recommend reading it.

1. One-on-one romance, mutual secret crushes, and both pursuing each other.

2. There will be some author-created details. The male lead isn't ill; at first, he thinks he has a hereditary disease. The author made up the illness, so please don't scrutinize it.
