Campus romance / childhood friends

Energetic sweet girl x her cool guy

An unabashed preference, a love meant just for you.

At every one of Yan Qing's birthdays, Xie Zhiyan was an indispensable presence.

He would always show up at their secret hideout right on time, carrying a birthday present.

On the birthday after the college entrance exams.

Yan Qing arrived at the secret hideout as promised, but Xie Zhiyan was nowhere to be seen.

After waiting alone for two hours, she finally opened the cake in disappointment and stuck in the candles.

Perhaps Xie Zhiyan would miss her eighteenth birthday after all.

The moment she lit the candles,

a warm presence suddenly pressed against her back. Before she could react, a broad palm covered the young girl's eyes, plunging her into darkness.

The boy's ragged, heavy breathing filled her ears.

"Happy birthday."

"Make a wish?"

Xie Zhiyan, stay by my side.

One rainy day, Xie Zhiyan and Yan Qing took shelter from the rain at a bus stop.

The rain splashed across the ground. Xie Zhiyan instinctively stepped forward to shield her from the wind and rain.

Then he turned his head to look at Yan Qing behind him. His voice was lazy and casual. "I heard an athlete is pursuing you?"

After a pause, he added, "Turn him down."

Yan Qing was taking her earphones out of her bag. Hearing this, she rose slightly onto her toes and stared straight into his eyes, asking softly, "Why?"

Xie Zhiyan's gaze fell involuntarily on her lips. A strange heat rose in him, and he turned away without answering.

Yan Qing waited a long time for an answer. She put her earphones in and didn't want to hear him speak anymore.

But the next moment, she heard Xie Zhiyan let out a faint sigh.

"Dummy. How can you not see that I like you?"

At that moment, it seemed as if the rain around them had grown quieter. His clear, cool voice hung in the air.

Xie Zhiyan, did you think I didn't hear that?

Shh, I heard you.

I heard the love hidden in those earphones.

Reading guide:

1. High school and college. No physical intimacy or romance in high school, just lighthearted everyday sweetness.

2. Childhood friends beat the newcomer. They're each other's first love, and their feelings are mutual.
