This year's freshmen are exceptionally talented. In private, everyone has put together boy bands and girl groups for the most outstanding students.

Among them are Shen Fuyao from Class One, Grade Ten, with her refined, quiet, reserved demeanor, and Lu Cangzhou, the cold, aloof type who is politely distant with everyone.

On the first day of high school, while everyone else was still too shy to even sit with an unfamiliar classmate, Shen Fuyao was already sharing a desk with Lu Cangzhou.

On the first day of military training, while everyone else was still getting to know one another, Shen Fuyao and Lu Cangzhou were already going to lunch together.

Someone wondered, "What's going on with Shen Fuyao and Lu Cangzhou from Class One? Are they already together? It's only been two days since school started!"

Someone else lamented, "Look at the difference. We haven't even learned everyone's names, and they've already started dating."

Rumors spread everywhere.

A nosy onlooker found the two of them and asked what was going on.

Shen Fuyao: "We knew each other before. I don't plan to date in high school."

Lu Cangzhou: "Mm. She's right."

Even so, everyone assumed the two were a couple. Some waited for them to break up, some watched the drama, and some had to watch them flaunt their romance.

That was until after graduation, when someone saw Lu Cangzhou pull Shen Fuyao into his arms and kiss her in a dark spot with no streetlights, after the teachers' banquet.

Everyone: "We've been watching you two feed us romantic dog food for three years, and you're only kissing now?"

Lu Cangzhou had someone he loved.

He carefully protected her, keeping her somewhere no one could see, and patiently and tenderly cherished her.

Until the rose ripened and its petals unfurled. It was a sight only he could see.

She was the rose he had wanted to hide away ever since he was old enough to remember.

It's kind of a childhood-friends, cohabitation, and unrequited-love story, an everyday romance without many twists... More or less just the things I want to write.

The heroine really is slow to catch on and slow to react.

This is a self-indulgent work. If it's not for you, feel free to drop it without telling me.

There will be no romance or intimate scenes before the characters reach adulthood.

Lu Hanyan transmigrated into a novel as a cannon-fodder female character who was madly in love with the male lead, but an accident brought her together with the male lead's uncle.

Because she was constantly critical of and difficult toward the male lead's uncle, she eventually met a tragic end.

To avoid repeating that fate, Lu Hanyan decided to stay away from the male lead and focus on living her own life.

Later, she discovered that the male lead's uncle, her husband, was not only an excellent earner but also great at running a household.

One night after they were married, Lu Hanyan had a powerful craving for spicy food. She had just opened the bedroom door when Wen Yichen, who was working late in the living room, looked up. "Why are you up?"

Lu Hanyan rubbed her belly. "I'm hungry. I want something spicy."

Wen Yichen glanced down at his watch. It was one-thirty in the morning.

He closed his laptop and rolled up the sleeves of his loungewear. As he stood, he also poured some warm water into Lu Hanyan's cup. "There's still some beef we braised in the fridge. Want some spicy beef?"

Lu Hanyan nodded at once. "Yes!"

Just hearing the name made her mouth water.

Wen Yichen nodded without saying anything else. He handed her the warm water and led her to the sofa. "I'll make it. Go wait on the sofa."

Tickets for the traditional Chinese music festival sold out in less than a second after sales opened.

The festival had been promoted three months in advance. They had invited famous singers from the traditional Chinese music scene, even singers who had retired and faded from the scene. There were no internet celebrities or traffic-seeking stars, just a lineup perfectly suited to fans of traditional Chinese music.

The festival was electrifying, and everyone went wild. People were more than happy with the money they'd spent and even demanded more shows. They all took to social media to thank the conscientious capitalist whose identity they didn't know.

Later, a rumor surfaced that the festival had been carefully arranged by the president of Chenxing Technology to make his wife happy.

Chenxing Technology - Wen Yichen V: As long as my wife is happy. @LittleDeerEatsMeat

Netizens: !

Netizens flooded Lu Hanyan's Weibo comments: Madam, are you still interested in cosplay, audio dramas, games, anime...? Could we get a few more festivals like this?
