Third Time Falling for the Galaxy

[Childhood Friends] [Secret Crush Turns Mutual]

Gu Yichu sees He Hao again on the campus of Beining University, the last place she ever expected him to show up.

They weren't supposed to meet again.

Her secret crush was supposed to have ended that summer.

Before long, he becomes a star at Beining University, handsome and brilliant at research, with students and teachers flocking around him.

But Gu Yichu feels as if the distance between them has only grown.

Someone who once seemed close enough to reach has become a distant galaxy.

Brilliant, dazzling, belonging to everyone but her.

Once, Gu Yichu gathered her courage and asked him, "Does it bother you when I accept other people's advances?"

He said, "No."

His expression relaxed, and he smiled as he changed the subject. "I'm just worried you'll get tricked."

But he'd already stolen her heart.

For He Hao's birthday, Gu Yichu secretly ordered him a cake and celebrated with him in his empty house.

When it was time to make a wish, he asked her to make one for him.

"Sure!" the girl replied innocently. "My wishes are really effective. Every single one comes true."

He smiled fondly at her earnest expression.

Boldly, she closed her eyes and made a wish with almost religious devotion. "I wish for He Hao to be my boyfriend."

She knew wishes didn't come true if you said them out loud.

Her eyes grew moist, but she didn't dare open them. Her rosy lips trembled slightly.

So it really wasn't going to come true?

After a long while, she heard him say, "Okay."

So softly, so tenderly.

At last, she could have her galaxy.

But she didn't know that she was the galaxy lighting up his world.
