The Wind Carries the Moon into My Arms

Lin Zhenyue had always been an utterly unremarkable presence in a crowd. The only thing that ever drew people's attention was her gorgeous, dazzling best friend, the campus belle.

Her own looks were average, while Su Su had been beautiful since childhood. She was timid and shy, while Su Su was a graceful ballerina. Her grades were above average, but Su Su won scholarships time and time again.

Fortunately, Lin Zhenyue did exceptionally well on the college entrance exam, earning a place at the same top university as Su Su.

Through Su Su, she got to know several famous third-year students. The most outstanding was a handsome senior who was the campus heartthrob. His striking looks and exceptional bearing made him a perfect match for Su Su.

Lin Zhenyue had to admit that this senior was indeed very handsome. In an ordinary white shirt, he could make every other guy look like chopped liver.

But in Lin Zhenyue's eyes, even the campus heartthrob's handsome face couldn't outshine Chu Huai.

As the heartthrob's roommate, Chu Huai was much more low-key. When girls occasionally approached him, they were just trying to get information about his roommate.

On Valentine's Day of her sophomore year, Lin Zhenyue stopped the campus heartthrob and Chu Huai outside a cafe. She held a delicate gift bag in one hand and an insulated lunch box printed with little daisies in the other.

Lin Zhenyue turned to the heartthrob and spoke shyly. "Th-this gift... Someone asked me to give it to you." The heartthrob raised an eyebrow and accepted it calmly.

A gift on Valentine's Day was pretty self-explanatory. Plenty of girls had already given the heartthrob presents under the pretense of delivering them for a friend, so he was used to it.

"And this..." Lin Zhenyue's cheeks turned bright red as she pushed the lunch box into Chu Huai's hands. "I-I made this porridge myself. You didn't eat breakfast, so have this to tide you over."

As soon as she finished speaking, she turned and ran off, leaving the two young men standing there.

The heartthrob stared in shock. "H-Huai, what's going on?"

I've never seen anyone flirt with two guys at once!

Chu Huai, who rarely spoke, gripped the lunch box and made an unusual effort to explain. "Can't you tell? This one's for me."

P.S. Shy, ordinary heroine (who is actually a sweet and adorable beauty) vs. low-key, reserved hero (he's top-tier in every way except his looks. He's handsome too, just not devastatingly so).
