Zhu Xingyan shot to fame at a young age. From top-tier star to movie actor, he swept the awards, all before he was even seventeen.

The boy was like a dazzling flame that had appeared out of nowhere, lighting up the entertainment industry. He stood at the very top of the pyramid, admired by countless people.

The farthest Song Shiyue ever was from him was across an impassable screen. The closest was in their classroom, where he sat beside her.

As class monitor, she was responsible for making sure every student received important announcements. She did that job for three years.

Song Shiyue and Zhu Xingyan had hundreds of chat messages between them, yet they met in person only dozens of times.

A media interview let everyone know that Zhu Xingyan had had a very responsible class monitor in high school.

She was the only female classmate from those three years he could remember.

Unfortunately, they lost touch after graduation.

Song Shiyue remembered that her QQ account had been stolen. After much effort, she finally managed to log in and found several unread messages.

The regret of never receiving a reply. The last message was a tentative reach that had stopped short.

[I’m passing through Beijing today. If you’re free, could we meet?]

Song Shiyue typed, stopped, then started again. After the reply had sat in the text box for a long time, she sent it.

[Are you still there?]

The avatar on the other end came to life. The reply arrived almost instantly.

[I’m here.]

Much later, Zhu Xingyan announced their relationship with a blurry photo.

In the dark, the boy wore a baseball cap and waited outside the dormitory building.

The girl ran toward him.

The caption read: [The girl I fell for at sixteen is finally in my arms.]

Everyone thought Zhu Xingyan had been the first to fall in love.

His youthful secret crush had finally come true, and he’d gotten his wish.

No one knew that on a rainy, dark night when he was sixteen,

from the moment she first saw Zhu Xingyan,

the damp, gloomy drizzle had turned into a gentle spring rain. She kept the black umbrella the boy had offered her by her side for years.

Mutual secret crush
