Crush -> "guy best friend" -> officially become a couple
The male lead has been secretly plotting his unrequited love for a long time.
The female lead's everyday life, told in diary-like snippets.
-- Blurb --
It was sweltering on the day we reported for our first year of high school.
I was sitting in the last row of the classroom, fanning myself, when a ridiculously handsome guy suddenly walked in.
The kind who looked as if he'd been plucked straight out of a shoujo manga, with top-tier looks and presence in every way.
I stared at him without a shred of restraint. The fan in my hand even fell to the floor.
He strode over on legs longer than a giraffe's neck and asked, coolly, "Is anyone sitting here?"
I blankly picked up the fan from beside my chair and answered, "...No."
He gave a faint smile. "Then I'll sit here."
I admit it, I was shallow. His looks, enough to beat any top-tier star into the ground, successfully won my heart.
But I still had some sense. I said, neither fawning nor intimidated, "Of course. If you don't mind your deskmate weighing 150 pounds."
-
My heart only fluttered for a little while. They say distance makes the heart grow fonder, but after we became deskmates, I realized he was all looks and no brains, a truly idiotic person.
All he ever did was study. His values and mine were completely incompatible. We were only going to some lousy high school in a small town. What, did he think we'd get into Tsinghua or Peking University?
He was so stupid that when I asked what class we had next, with the teacher almost there, he could cheerfully answer, "Calcium dioxide."
Later, I fell for the aloof and proud school heartthrob and started writing him love letters like crazy.
My deskmate snatched one out of my hands, saying he was going to correct the typos and awkward sentences, polish the rhetoric, and help me win the heartthrob over faster.
What a joke. Did he think I couldn't see what he was up to? Was he really trying to help me?
He was just using me as a free collection of practice problems!
- The female lead has a character growth arc later on.
- Let loose and write for the love of it.
- One-on-one romance, happy ending.
Theme: A lazy person only wants to lie flat, but a twist of fate brings them to a big city to become a miserable wage slave. Working 996 is too exhausting, so they decide to go home and farm! (The theme is not guaranteed.)
