School Days | Mutual Crush | A Fake Second Chance at Love
A calculating girl with a soft exterior and a sharp edge x a dazzling, aloof, devoted boy | A strange little witch and the prince who only favors her
Fu Mian grew up having to read the room and being overlooked. Pleasing others became her instinct for survival.
People who knew her said she was warm on the outside but cold inside.
She seemed to get along with everyone, but in truth, no one could reach her heart.
There were only a few people Fu Mian truly cared about.
Ke Zui was one of them.
That rainy night, she ran away from home, and the boy caught sight of her in her miserable, rain-soaked state.
Ke Zui stared at the bruises around her neck. Through the curtain of rain, the scarlet ember between his fingertips glimmered like a firefly.
He looked away and asked casually, "Who did that?"
"If I tell you, will you help me kill him?"
"Maybe." The boy's smile was cruel, and his tone was no joke.
Fu Mian lowered her head in silence, biting her lip.
She knew someone as favored by fate as Ke Zui would never look twice at her. He was only saying that to amuse himself.
Their youth, confined to school, was the easiest way to find a connection with him.
Fu Mian wasn't content to be merely his ordinary classmate.
Through her deliberate efforts to get close to him, the two maintained a secret, unspoken mutual crush.
Unfortunately, he didn't understand her insecurity and shyness, and she didn't understand the words he could never bring himself to say.
Their repeated testing of the waters and unspoken feelings ultimately turned their relationship into a regret.

Years later, Ke Zui ran into Fu Mian again at the hotel where his father was holding his fourth wedding ceremony.
In another ballroom, he caught sight of her in a wedding dress, walking toward another man. Ke Zui stood rooted to the spot, stunned for a long time.
The thought of her marrying someone else made his heart seize for a moment.
Halfway through the wedding, the groom ran off with someone else.
Seeing Fu Mian stranded and helpless amid the chaos, he strode through the crowd and grabbed her wrist.
-
"Zui, Zui, I like you more than anyone."
"Fu Mian, would it kill you to say you love me?"
[You are the growing ache deep in the spaces between my bones, tormenting me while giving me sunshine and rain.]
*SC, HE, 1v1.
*A love story about an insecure, unloved girl and a loner school heartthrob adored by everyone. They don't become a couple in high school. At its core, this is a story of two pitiful souls comforting and saving each other.
