Also known as: The Secret Crush Named After You
*Sweet, gentle, innocent girl x arrogant, handsome top student
1.
No one at No. 8 High School knew that Shi Yu had a crush on Chen Siye. Not even Chen Siye himself.
In middle school, Shi Yu was an ordinary girl, with looks and grades that were equally average. The bravest thing she had done in her sixteen years was fall for Chen Siye.
Chen Siye was the boy Shi Yu had secretly loved since she was young. In her eyes, he was the most talented and dazzling boy in the world, a ray of light illuminating the depths of her heart. She quietly recorded the progress and feelings of her crush in her diary, keeping her emotions in her heart and putting them into words on the page.
By the time the college entrance exam was over, she had written ninety-nine little love letters, not one of which she had sent.
She had never dreamed that this secret, hidden crush might lead anywhere, and she never dared to imagine that Chen Siye might feel even the slightest bit for her.
She planned to stop loving Chen Siye after writing the hundredth letter. A crush with no hope would only leave her even more disappointed.
“I only fell for you when I was young, when you seemed so far beyond my reach. From then on, I kept following in your footsteps and never left. All you had to do was look back, and you would see me. This is the hundredth love letter I've written you. Goodbye, Chen Siye. Goodbye, my youth.”, From Shi Yu's Spring Love Letters

On the twentieth day after giving up on Chen Siye, Shi Yu lost her diary.
Not long after, Shi Yu and Chen Siye met again at the same university.
One sunny, warm afternoon, Shi Yu saw Chen Siye playing basketball on the field again. Her gaze no longer followed him, and her footsteps no longer stopped for his sake. This time, the boy walked toward her, one step at a time, until he stood right in front of her.
“Hello, Shi Yu. I'm Chen Siye. Let's get to know each other again.”

Many years later, on a calm afternoon, a diary lay on a wooden desk. A gentle breeze blew in through the window, lifting the curtains and rustling the pages until it stopped at a certain page. One line was written there in strong, elegant handwriting, every stroke full of force.
“I might grow tired of everything on this planet, but I'll always cherish the little galaxy in your eyes. The love of my life, Shi Yu.”
The 101st Spring Love Letter, by Chen Siye
Years later, another line was added at the end of the diary in a bold, carefree hand: “Shi Yu and Chen Siye will stay madly in love forever and never be apart.”
Both leads are virgins. HE. Both are top students.
A quiet, slow-burn story of secret love, everyday moments, and growing up.
