The Green Plum Falls from the Branch

*Bows and makes a heart with her hands. This silly, sweet little story, How Could I Possibly Like You, is looking for follows qaq. Blurb below, mwah mwah mwah At the start of her junior year, Chu Xiguang runs into her ideal type. He has handsome, refined features, and is tall with long legs. A female classmate accidentally falls toward him, but he dodges her without the slightest hesitation. Even the way he avoids her is graceful and composed. Chu Xiguang sighs: This guy's a jerk. He'd be perfect as the villain in her comic :) Chu Xiguang decides to take the initiative and get him to agree to be her character model. To attract his attention, she builds an Ultraman snowman outside the academic building, supposedly something no guy could resist, and makes a name for herself on the campus confession wall. He studies the snowman for a long moment, then turns his deep, striking gaze toward her. "Hey, do you know there are over a hundred Ultramen?" "You just happened to build the one I don't like." The next time they meet, Chu Xiguang decides to keep trying. But then she overhears him chatting with a friend. "You want to use me as your model? Ready to get sued?" "I don't grant permission for any use. Don't even think about it." Later, Chu Xiguang learns the truth. The guy she's fallen for is Ming Qiuji, the school's notorious "black moonlight." With his own two hands, he's made every girl who's ever had a crush on him want to kill him in secret. Later, a mystery comic becomes a huge hit. A friend is shocked. "Why does this villain look so much like you?!" Ming Qiuji smiles lazily. "Because my wife loves me and can't bear to pair me with anyone else." --- Blurb --- When she was six, Shu Yu found Zhan Shuqing curled up in a corner by her front door. The little boy was sweet and pretty, with a bright future written all over him. At twenty-six, the lonely little boy from back then has become famous across the country. His face is cold and stern, nothing like the sweet boy who used to follow Shu Yu around. Shu Yu never expected to see her own face on a variety show. In the old photo, sixteen-year-old Zhan Shuqing has a faint smile, already showing hints of the aloof beauty he'd grow into. Beside him, Shu Yu is grinning like an idiot. The photo sparks heated discussion online. Several coworkers watching the show recognize Shu Yu in the picture and start teasing her and asking questions. She lazily admits, "We grew up together. He's had a crush on me for years." Her coworkers are stunned. Shu Yu adds, "That's what happens in my dreams." At a concert attended by tens of thousands, Zhan Shuqing stands onstage, cool and solitary as a snow-covered pine. That night, instead of showing up at the airport as expected, Zhan Shuqing is photographed exploring a night market with a mysterious woman. He shields her from the crowd, as gentle as if he's become a different person. The woman turns her face slightly, revealing the childhood sweetheart the entire internet has been searching for. No one knows that, when they're alone, Zhan Shuqing takes off his mask, only for Shu Yu to pin him against the wall and kiss him fiercely first. Zhan Shuqing looks down at her and asks, "Does it still feel like a dream?" Shu Yu gives him an innocent smile. "Not sure. Want to try again?" - Later, Zhan Shuqing's secret Weibo account is uncovered. Everyone expects it to be full of lofty creative inspiration. But in reality, it says: [I wish I could go back to when we were together. It was like splashing through puddles in rain boots on a rainy day, but all I have left is the rain.] [We're together now, so I don't have to look at the same moon as her from afar anymore.] Theme: The right people will meet again and again
