"Secretly loving someone seems like an easy way to lose yourself. But they walked ninety-nine steps toward each other. The hundredth step came when they stood at the summit."

"1"

In a dimly lit corridor, Huang Fusu carried the stack of corrected problem sets she had just collected and slowly made her way to the teachers' office.

Following behind her was the boy she had a crush on, Liang Qingyan.

After a long silence, she finally broke it. "Liang Qingyan, next time we change seats, maybe we shouldn't sit together, okay?"

"...Oh."

Three days later.

The boy who had always sat to her left silently cleared off his desk.

He looked... a little pitiful.

She hesitated, wondering if she should take back what she had said. Then she saw him sling his bag over one shoulder, carry his school uniform jacket in one hand, and plop down in the seat behind her.

Huang Fusu: "..."

"What are you looking at? You said you didn't want me sitting next to you. You never said I couldn't sit behind you." Under the desk, he rested his foot against one of her chair legs. "Now get your head down and study."

Two years later, at the graduation ceremony for the high school division of Lingbei No. 1 High School, Huang Fusu took the stage as the outstanding student representative. She silently recited the words written on the first page of her diary:

"I won over the top student in our grade, and the person who used to be the top student in our grade."

"2"

Huang Fusu had always thought their story began when they were assigned to the same group after a seat change in their first year of high school.

What she didn't know was that, long before then, Liang Qingyan had filled an entire diary with entries about her.

Years later, when the protagonist of their story opened the first page of the diary, she unexpectedly found an unremarkable little note tucked inside.

In a daze, Huang Fusu's memory returned to that evening after the rain had stopped. Leaning against the corner of a desk, she heard Liang Qingyan explain to a classmate, "You've got it wrong. She's my deskmate."

Huang Fusu finally remembered that they had met during a season of misty rain.

She shared half her umbrella with him, and from then on, he tilted his umbrella toward her for the rest of his life.

Please add my next book, When He Falls for His Subordinate's Girlfriend, to your reading list~

Tang Xi doesn't like her boyfriend's boss.

His eyes are deep and predatory, like a snake or tiger lurking in the dark, watching its prey. There's something aggressive about them.

But at some point, those eyes began showing up in her life again and again.

At work, in her dreams...

Tang Xi doesn't understand why, but this twisted emotion gives her endless inspiration.

Until one day.

On a stormy night, Tang Xi runs into him at the hotel entrance and falls into his arms.

Theme: Love is something we cannot forget.
