A Gardenia Given with Love

Updates at 8 p.m. on weekends.

Jiang Nianjin receives a bouquet of gardenias, a box of adhesive bandages, and a bottle of stomach medicine every year on her birthday.

"Why did you transfer to Nanming?"

"There's nothing interesting over there."

The girl studies him, clearly unconvinced.

Under her gaze, Xu Yanqing has no choice but to surrender.

"Is there someone you like here?"

She gives him a half-smile, turns around, and waves over her shoulder. "No. Good luck with that."

Little does she know that she's the very person at the center of his decade-long crush.

Then, during an outing, the boy who's been secretly in love with her for ten years finally gives himself away.

She gets bitten, and he has some medicated balm in his pocket. Her shoes rub her feet raw, and he has adhesive bandages in his pocket. It seems like he prepared everything for her...

She starts to suspect him and deliberately pretends to have a stomachache. Seeing the boy panic, she watches as he promptly takes a pill from a clear plastic bag in his pocket.

The girl understands at once, and a smile flickers in her eyes. "Xu Yanqing, all you're missing now is a bouquet of gardenias in your hand, right?"

Young love is always passionate and impossible to hide.

"Jiang Nianjin, do you know what gardenias mean?"

"Silent devotion. A secret love."
