Blurb:

Reunion after years apart + mutual secret crush + a dating show full of sweet moments

At the high school graduation ceremony.

Qi Tiantian held the microphone and spoke on behalf of the outstanding graduates.

"I really like you. For three years, I've folded you so many paper cranes and made you so many hearts. I wrote your name on every single one, but you've never responded. Please give me an answer, Gu Fei!"

The audience erupted in an uproar.

A boy with glasses and a face full of acne pushed open the door. "You like me?"

Qi Tiantian: "Who are you???"

The students: What kind of plot twist is this?

In the back row, a handsome young man abruptly stood up, fists clenched and looking furious. "My name is Gu Lin!"

They met again at the hospital.

Gu Lin sat in a corner of the waiting room, his cap pulled low and a mask covering his face.

When his name was called over the loudspeaker, he glanced around and hurried into the clinic.

The woman on the other side of the consultation desk first froze, then smiled.

His face instantly went deathly pale.

"Gu Fei, why are you at the proctology clinic?"

A little scene:

That evening, Gu Lin sat happily in his dorm room, holding the love letter he'd received.

Dear Gu Fei,

Hello! My name is Qi Tiantian. I've liked you for a very, very long time... I hope we can get into the same university. I really like you!

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++Qi Tiantian will always like Gu Fei

Thinking of the boy named Gu Fei, Gu Lin angrily tore the whole letter to shreds.

A little scene 2:

On the set of the hit dating show Love Fever, the director called an emergency stop.

Director: Gu Lin, my dear boy, you rejected all three female contestants, and not one couple has successfully paired up yet. What kind of fairy are you looking for?

The young assistant timidly raised a hand. "Director, I have someone in mind..."

Seeing a familiar figure, Gu Lin's perpetually icy face broke into a smile. "Contestant Number Eight, would you like to date me?"

Qi Tiantian replied with a straight face, "The hospital director sent me to promote our hospital's humanistic spirit."

Slow-paced, forgetful proctologist Qi Tiantian + aloof and proper in public, but arrogant and childish influencer Gu Lin in private

Taking Forever to Fall

Career-focused, older, strong woman x cool younger man who's a hopeless romantic

[Reunion after years apart, secret crush, older woman and younger man]

*

Song Shiqi first met Zhou Si outside her parents' home.

Black T-shirt, light-colored jeans. He looked up at her, his voice cold. "I'm Zhou Si, Song Shili's classmate."

He was handsome, sure, but far too young for her to make a move on him.

So when she saw the beginning of Zhou Si's text that day, she just laughed and called him "brat" before deleting it.

*

Song Shiqi met Zhou Si again while spending New Year's in a foreign city all by herself.

On New Year's Eve, she was curled up alone in her rented apartment, eating takeout, when she casually typed out a New Year's greeting.

Almost the very next second, her phone rang. She heard a voice that sounded faintly familiar, though a little awkward. "Song Shiqi, Song Shili said you're spending New Year's in City C. How about we celebrate together?"

*

The third time Song Shiqi saw Zhou Si was in her own bed.

After successfully signing a project, her coworkers plied her with drinks at the celebration dinner. Before she blacked out, she hazily called in reinforcements.

Face-to-face with Zhou Si, both of them naked, she frantically wrapped herself in the blanket. "Th-then, um, you little brat..."

Before she could finish, Zhou Si's eyes reddened at the corners. He took the hair tie hidden beneath her hair and slipped it onto his own wrist, his voice seductive. "I'm no little brat. From now on, you're mine, Sis."

*

Song Shiqi didn't know that on the day she teamed up with Zhou Si to climb to the highest rank in their game, the rest of his text had read: Shiqi, will you be my girlfriend?

Song Shiqi didn't know that the day before New Year's Eve, Zhou Si saw her social media post and took the overnight high-speed train back to his university dorm in City C, just for the chance to spend New Year's Eve with her.

Zhou Si didn't know that when Song Shiqi called him that day, she was perfectly clear-headed.

A little scene:

During a three-player casual game, Song Shili's screen had just turned gray when he complained, "Why haven't either of you been online lately? Have you been dating behind my back? ...Sis, why are you placing a ward in the middle of the road!"

Song Shiqi: "..."

Zhou Si, who rarely spoke over voice chat, suddenly chimed in. "You've respawned. Hurry up and get out of base."

"I'm talking to my sister, why are you butting in..." Song Shili hadn't finished when he blurted, "Wait, Zhou Si, you completely whiffed your ultimate right there!?"
