· Campus romance + mutual pining turns into love

· Gentle and well-behaved heroine × cocky, handsome bad boy

The girl is not good with words, but her love is sincere and passionate.

That summer belonged only to Zhu Li and Shen Zhuo.

Zhu Li was wearing a white dress and carrying books as she passed the basketball court.

She happened to see Shen Zhuo playing basketball. She stopped in her tracks and couldn't help taking a couple of extra looks.

Zhu Li had always known they lived in different worlds.

They had nothing to do with each other.

But when the basketball came flying toward Zhu Li and landed hard at her feet,

she paused. It felt as if everything was about to change.

When she looked up again, Shen Zhuo was running straight toward her.

The setting sun blazed red across the sky, lighting up the boy in motion.

He was bold and carefree, with an untamable wildness.

Shen Zhuo picked up the ball at Zhu Li's feet and stood before her, looking lazily amused.

His voice was clear and bright. "Did I scare you?"

Zhu Li's heart skipped a beat.

Nervously, she raised her eyes and unexpectedly met Shen Zhuo's gaze.

The summer breeze brushed her skirt and tousled her hair, and it stirred Zhu Li's heart, too.

It was as if he had kissed me with his eyes.

The moon climbed into the sky, stars scattered across the horizon.

Beneath the streetlights, two shadows stretched endlessly long.

Zhu Li lowered her head, her eyes red. She didn't dare look at Shen Zhuo.

A smile played on Shen Zhuo's lips as he drew Zhu Li into his arms.

He slipped his hands around her waist and held her tight, bending down to rest his chin on her shoulder.

His breath was tender and lingering, brushing against Zhu Li's ear.

With a smile in his eyes, Shen Zhuo's voice was coaxing and sultry. "You've been secretly in love with me all this time."

His voice was low, lazy, and edged with mischief.

"You must have felt so wronged."

"Come here. Let me hold you."

At last, he heard the sound of my secret love, and I fell in love with him.
