A Grown-Up Girl X Her Childhood-Friend Pilot

A childhood friend's secret crush is like a strange cycle.

The longer they stay together, the more they like each other. The more they like each other, the more afraid they are of losing that companionship.

From sorting household waste together to supporting the pandemic response, the two of them walk side by side along the long river of unrequited love.

When He Xi, dressed in protective gear, shouted, "Next!", Gu Tingchen returned from the support mission, strode forward with his long legs, and opened his mouth wide. "Ah, "

But even after he had been saying "Ah" until he was nearly out of breath, she still didn't move. So he slowly dropped to one knee, revealing the four-bar insignia on his shoulder. With a faint smile, he said, "Little Shorty, is this close enough for you to reach?"

Seeing him half-crouched in the evening glow, He Xi squeezed her eyes shut and sprayed herself with disinfectant alcohol, borrowing courage from the "spirits" as she confessed, "I've liked you for so long, and I've always hidden it very well."

That evening, after spending the whole day as a Big White, He Xi dragged her exhausted body to her front door. She had just taken out her keys when a pair of large hands wrapped around her from behind and carried her into Gu Tingchen's home across the hall.

Looking at He Xi's adorable face, still flushed from the shock, Gu Tingchen, who was always so gentle, lightly tossed her onto his sofa and bent down to kiss her, from her forehead to the tip of her nose and then her lips. When the kiss grew passionate, he said in a husky voice, "Help me take off my glasses. They're getting in the way of my performance."

He Xi's inner thoughts: What the hell! This man... I had no idea he could be this sexy!

One hides his love, the other hides his desire.

New story now open for advance follows in my column: Time Taxi [Parallel Worlds]. One looks to the past, the other to the future. A traffic accident brings their stories together.
