First Snow

[Main story complete! Bonus chapters are updating!]

* A clever, flirty wolf in gentle clothing x a little solar-system fairy

* Mutual pining + winning her back the hard way

1.

When she was sixteen, Yan Xixia fell for an older student, Pei Suchen.

He was handsome, got great grades, and was confident and bold, a walking flirt and a legend at Beixi No. 1 High School.

Yan Xixia made the first move, openly flirted and secretly pined for over six months, and finally got somewhere.

On the night of the first snowfall, she crouched by a streetlight, shivering.

Pei Suchen came toward her against the light and held an umbrella over her. "I was wondering which family's little girl was hiding under the streetlight. Turns out it's our Xiaxia."

Yan Xixia pulled off his scarf and put it on herself. "Who belongs to you?"

Pei Suchen smiled, his eyes gentle. "Why are you so nervous?"

That winter, just as she was brimming with confidence and getting ready to confess, she realized she'd completely misread the situation.

She fled in a panic, only to get one last, seemingly innocent jab from his younger cousin:

"You're so ordinary. How come you like my brother, too?"

2.

At twenty, Yan Xixia was vibrant and radiant, the unattainable dream girl of countless people.

During a campus interview, the host tried to drum up attention by asking, "Senior Yan, you're so dazzling. I bet your type is a wild, rebellious hottie, right?"

Yan Xixia smiled. "No. He's handsome, gentle, and a little romantic. When I'm upset, he knows how to make me laugh."

The comments under the interview exploded, with everyone guessing who he was. One comment rose to the top:

[Big scoop: A senior with the surname Yan went to high school with Pei Suchen. She pursued him in high school and got rejected. Pictures and proof included.]

The most popular reply below it read:

Little Gray Gray Wants to Pick a Star: Don't spread rumors, don't believe rumors. I really like her, and I'm pursuing her now.

That night, Yan Xixia stared at the account name for a full ten seconds, then opened her contacts and found the little account she'd added when she was sixteen:

Little Gray Gray Wants to Pick a Star.

Snow drifted down late at night. Pei Suchen stood in the snow and wind. "Can I try to win you over again?"
