Yu Guang Wuweng

#How should she describe him?

Out of the corner of her eye.

[Sensitive little ray of sunshine x the favored son of heaven (probably a bit of a cocky bad boy)]

*She has a crush on him at first; later, he pursues her

In high school, everyone thought Xu Youhe had a thing for Wen Hang.

After all, she was always hanging around him.

When people teased her, Xu Youhe just smiled and played dumb.

But none of them knew that the person she liked was Shen Yuzhou, Wen Hang's deskmate.

He was the campus heartthrob who had left countless girls disappointed.

To everyone else, she was cheerful and outgoing, but she didn't dare reveal her feelings in the slightest.

She just couldn't help wanting him to notice her.

After a final exam, Xu Youhe went to Wen Hang as usual to ask about a problem.

He'd done poorly and frowned impatiently. "You're not an idiot. The teacher already covered this in class. Why are you asking me?"

Humiliated in front of everyone, Xu Youhe returned to her seat.

That day, she was the last person to leave class.

On her way to hand in an assignment at the teachers' office, she happened to see Shen Yuzhou upstairs, leaning over the railing and chatting happily with another girl.

In the empty corridor, she watched them for a long time, digging her fingers into her palm until they left marks.

After finishing his work, Shen Yuzhou went downstairs. He thought everyone had left, but around a corner in the stairwell, he unexpectedly spotted a figure.

The flickering lights blurred the girl's silhouette.

She leaned against the low wall, with an endless sea of night stretching out before her. Her impossibly slender shoulders trembled.

It looked as if she were crying her heart out.

Shen Yuzhou hesitated, then went over. When he spoke, he deliberately kept his voice light and amused. "Um, that's just how Wen Hang is. He might regret it tomorrow. Don't hold it against him."

He set the lemon soda in his hand down beside her.

After he left, Xu Youhe slowly raised her face. Her snow-white cheeks framed clear, dark eyes.

She lowered her gaze and gently grasped the bottle of lemon soda. Its cold condensation immediately dampened her fingers.

Later, she gave it everything she had and got into a top university.

He was still dazzling among the stars of the campus, while she was still the same coward.

They should have had nothing to do with each other.

Until one day, he stopped her in front of a crowd.

"Are you coming to watch me play basketball?"

She had thought her youth was long over, but she never expected that, after all their twists and turns, he would gather up the pieces one by one and put them back together before her eyes.

"How many main characters are there in real life? Most of us are cruel supporting actresses, little cannon fodder, or passersby. A playboy never turns back, a secret crush stays hidden forever, a broken relationship can never be mended, and a passionate youth never gets an ending… Life is made up of countless regrets."

But Xu Youhe didn't believe that.

She was determined to make the impossible happen.

#May we all have a youth that never loses.

*The heroine is rather oblivious and has the sunny disposition of a slightly silly girl. She's popular and does well in school. She isn't gloomy or timid, nor does she moan in pain for no reason. She's just stubborn and sensitive when it comes to love, with a little bit of clumsy scheming.
