A slightly cocky, boyish male lead who's afraid of the dark, ghosts, and thunder x an energetic, sweet female lead who cries at the drop of a hat | Childhood friends, sweet school romance | A bickering pair of rivals | My archenemy has a crush on me?! | Male unrequited love
Yin Qiuqiu, nicknamed Trumpet Flower, has friends of every age, from an 80-year-old hard-of-hearing grandpa to an 8-month-old baby girl who's just weaned. She has so many friends they could circle the neighborhood three times. The only person she's ever been at odds with, from childhood on, is her next-door neighbor, Zhao Qimo: the neighborhood's perfect kid, and someone she can't escape as she grows up.
In elementary school, she got 100 in one subject, while he got 100 in every subject.
In middle school, she became a group leader, while he became class president.
In high school, she did unusually well and won the class award for academic excellence, while he did unusually poorly and only got the class award for all-around excellence.
So every year, one of Yin Qiuqiu's birthday wishes was: Please let Zhao Qimo move away, as far as possible.
Perhaps the heavens were moved by her unwavering wishes over the past ten years. Just before she started her senior year of high school, Zhao Qimo's family announced they were moving abroad.
Yin Qiuqiu was more excited than someone who'd won a free refill. She was so happy she stayed up all night, and even finished the three math tests she'd been putting off.
But the next morning, just as she was about to lie down and catch up on sleep, someone knocked on her door. She opened it to find Zhao Qimo standing outside, smiling like a spring breeze, with a pile of books in his arms.
She must have opened the door the wrong way!
She opened it again, and Zhao Qimo had already moved into her family's guest room with all his stuff.
I've heard of people giving away their sofa when they move, but never their son, come on!
Little Scene
After their 101st time making eye contact, Yin Qiuqiu finally couldn't take it anymore and pointed at Zhao Qimo across from her. "Just admit it, you're secretly in love with me!"
Zhao Qimo didn't bat an eye. "If people can tell, it isn't a secret crush."
Yin Qiuqiu frowned. "Then what do you call it?"
"An open crush." The finger she still had raised was suddenly caught in his hand. He flashed a triumphant smile, bright as the sun.
Zhao Qi (pronounced like "Qi") Mo
Happy ending, both virgins, both devoted, sweet romance
