The first time, he complained that she only knew how to play support in games. She found a master to teach her and became a fearsome jungler who ruled the Rift. The second time, he complained that her grades were poor. She hired a tutor and rose to first place in her year. The third time, on the day he had promised to give her an answer, Shang Yue waited from morning till night... At last, she gave up. Years later, they met again at a class reunion. As she came out of the restroom, she ran into Zhou Xiang. He seemed to have been waiting for her. Blocking her way, he explained in a low voice, "That day, I..." Before he could finish, Shang Yue spotted a man at the far end of the hallway. She rose onto her tiptoes and waved at him. "Darling, I'm over here!" Zhou Xiang froze, his heart sinking. Then he followed Shang Yue's delighted gaze and turned around... The man walking toward them wore a pristine white shirt, with a suit jacket draped over his arm. Tall and straight as a bamboo stalk, he carried himself with polished confidence... It was Xu Chengjin, the student council president from their high school days. Back in the private room, they played Truth or Dare. Someone asked Shang Yue, "How did you manage to snag Senior Xu?" Shang Yue replied, "I just asked him to play games and tutor me. It was super easy." Beside her, Xu Chengjin was peeling pomegranate seeds for her. "..." Silly girl. It was easy because it was you. [Bonus Scene] In college, Shang Yue spent her winter and summer breaks volunteering as a teacher in a remote mountain village. On a cold winter night, surrounded by children dancing and singing around a bonfire, she summoned up her courage and called Xu Chengjin, who was thousands of miles away. The phone connected as soon as it rang. Shang Yue heard that familiar, gentle voice, laced with a faint smile. "Class is over?" "I don't think it's time yet." The bonfirelight danced in Shang Yue's eyes. One of her students had taken her hand. Startled, her heart began to race. It took her a long while to steady herself. Then, in a hushed voice, she blurted out, "Xu Chengjin, I think I kind of miss you..." *True love may arrive late, but it will never fail to show up.* [Reading Guide] *A devoted, exclusive couple, with a campus sweetheart story about a male god whose secret crush finally becomes mutual and who wins the girl in the end. *A modern, loosely fictionalized setting.

Cen Qingqing appeared in Chen Zhen's bedroom, pretty as a picture. Her bright eyes gazed at him as she asked eagerly, "I've submitted my college applications. Can I try to seduce you now?" Chen Zhen had just finished showering. After a moment of surprise, he turned his back to her and pulled on a T-shirt. Instead of answering, he asked, "How are you planning to seduce me?" As soon as the words left his mouth, the girl hugged him from behind. Her warm breath fell against his back, and her slender, soft fingers caught hold of the towel around his waist. Without missing a beat, she said, "I'll appeal to your heart and tempt you with my looks." He knew she was only talking big and wouldn't dare go any further. Still, he caught her mischievous hand and turned around, lifting her off her feet. Startled, Cen Qingqing instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck. She stared into his unfathomably deep eyes, suddenly flustered. "Chen Zhen, what are you doing?" "Teaching you." "Teaching me what?" Chen Zhen said nothing. He gripped the back of her neck and leaned in. His usually cool eyes darkened with desire, and his chaste facade fell away completely. He kissed her dewy earlobe. "Teaching you how to tempt me with your 'looks.'" Even as Chen Zhen kissed her senseless, Cen Qingqing stayed true to her original question. "Does this mean I've won you over?" Chen Zhen chuckled. He lowered his head until their breaths mingled, his voice husky and damp. "One more kiss, and it counts." - An exclusive couple, mutual love, childhood friends, from school uniforms to wedding dresses. Theme: You deserve to be loved
