What Era Is This? Who Still Has a Secret Crush?

In their final year of high school, a green bean that wouldn't budge no matter what joined Lin Shu's class.

Fang Ye, the green bean, went everywhere alone and never even cracked a smile.

But Lin Shu, a born mood-maker, refused to give up. Since they were deskmates, he teased Fang Ye every day.

Lin Shu: "Your notes are so good, deskmate. Teach me how you do them."

Fang Ye, calm and collected: "Do them yourself."

Lin Shu: "You've got long arms, deskmate. Hurry up and swipe my meal card for me!"

Fang Ye, unmoved: "Get in line yourself."

Later, Lin Shu accidentally saw Fang Ye being bullied. Fang Ye kept a cold expression, clearly angry but not fighting back.

Overflowing with a sense of justice, Lin Shu charged right in without a second thought, only for the others to take him down too.

He hurt his left eye in the fight and had to keep it bandaged for three months.

At last, he had a reason to "hold it over" the green bean: "I got hurt saving you, so from now on, you have to take notes for me."

Fang Ye: "Okay."

Lin Shu pushed his luck: "And get my meals for me."

Fang Ye: "Sure."

Lin Shu narrowed his one uninjured eye, mischief brewing: "What else should I make you do?"

Fang Ye's face was straight, his expression more serious than ever: "Anything you want."

Lin Shu: !

Later, Lin Shu accidentally discovered Fang Ye's little secret. The guy had been quietly keeping track of Lin Shu's habits and favorite foods, writing everything down neatly, even more beautifully than Lin Shu's own notes.

Lin Shu's mind cleared in an instant: Fang Ye had a crush on him!

Come on, what era are we living in? Who still keeps a crush secret? Just confess already!

You're not going to confess? Fine, I'll do it!
