Moonlight Like Her

[Gentle, Sensitive Wallflower X Cold on the Outside, Warm on the Inside, Hopeless Romantic]

[Social Media Creator X Top-Tier Singer]

Unlike her best friend, who was passionate about following celebrities, Cen Zhi rarely went online except for work. She knew next to nothing about the entertainment industry.

Until one day, her best friend asked her to pick up tickets for a concert by a newly popular top-tier singer.

To get her interested, her friend called and raved about this supposedly flawless, handsome darling of the heavens.

Cen Zhi answered mildly, without any expectations. She only wanted to pick up the merchandise and be done with it.

But after entering the venue, she unexpectedly saw a photo of the top-tier singer.

In the photo, the young man stood at the center of the stage in a white suit, radiating a cool, rebellious aura.

That face matched perfectly with someone in Cen Zhi's memories of high school.

-

On the night after the college entrance exams, Cen Zhi stumbled upon Xie Chiyan taking on seven people in an alley.

Under the moonlight, the young man was lean, his eyes seemingly rimmed with frost. Only when he looked at her did a little warmth enter his bearing.

Afraid he might silence her, Cen Zhi turned and ran.

But Xie Chiyan wiped his hands clean, carefully took a clean, pale green love letter from his schoolbag, and confessed his feelings to her.

Cen Zhi didn't dare accept it. She stammered an apology, then turned and fled.

-

Even Cen Zhi couldn't believe she'd once turned down a confession from a top-tier star.

Luckily, many years had passed, and she considered it old history. Xie Chiyan had probably long forgotten.

After taking the wrong route backstage to receive an award, she ran into Xie Chiyan again.

She instinctively turned to run, but Xie Chiyan called out to her and explained nonchalantly:

"Don't worry. I'm not interested in you anymore."

For some reason, Cen Zhi's heart sank.

-

Since his debut, Xie Chiyan had never been involved in a dating rumor.

He was aloof, and even though countless people in the industry were interested in him, none dared make a move.

If Xie Chiyan didn't stick to her every moment once they started dating, Cen Zhi would have wholeheartedly agreed.

P.S.:

1. An entertainment industry story, with no real-life inspirations.

2. Both leads are virgins and each other's first love. A crush comes true.

New novel in my author profile, Resonance (now being serialized!):

[Slightly Sweet-and-Sour Little Sister X Sharp-Tongued, Stubborn, Cool Guy]

[Two Top Students and Kings of Showing Off]

After graduating from high school, Cheng Yang accompanied a friend to the home of the school heartthrob, famed for his exceptional grace and virtue, to help her confess her feelings.

But after shouting "I like you!" from downstairs, her friend turned and ran, leaving her alone with a love letter in her hand.

A moment later, before the heartthrob had appeared, his cousin pushed open a second-floor window and asked her, as if enjoying the show:

"Hey, you there. My brother went out. He's not home. I got your confession for him. What's your name? I'll tell him later."

Cheng Yang couldn't remember how to speak. She turned and bolted.

Anyone who knew anything about the heartthrob knew that his younger brother, Pei Yizhou, was the complete opposite of him.

This young master had excellent grades and striking looks, but was also an incredibly arrogant king. He was utterly indifferent to people and things he wasn't interested in.

Talking to him about romance would be like banging your head against a wall.

-

Years later, the two crossed paths again. Cheng Yang thought he'd long since forgotten what happened back then, but Pei Yizhou remembered it perfectly.

Cheng Yang met the heartthrob at a friend's request.

Cheng Yang: I get paid for running errands? Awesome!

Pei Yizhou: Tsk. You've had a crush on him since high school, what, five or six years? Maybe even ten?

While traveling, Cheng Yang unexpectedly stayed next door to the heartthrob.

Cheng Yang: I got a room with a king-sized bed. So comfortable!

Pei Yizhou: Nice. You move fast.

The heartthrob needed a translator, and Cheng Yang volunteered.

Cheng Yang: Not bad. The pay is really good.

Pei Yizhou: You like him that much? Following him everywhere?

Later, when he learned his older brother already had someone he liked, Cheng Yang's budding feelings came to nothing. Pei Yizhou, meanwhile, tossed and turned all night.

After that, Cheng Yang felt like he'd suddenly become a different person.

For example, when her friend invited her to meet the heartthrob, Pei Yizhou, who usually hated social gatherings, sat down beside her.

She wanted to stay in the room across from the heartthrob to watch the stars, but Pei Yizhou shut her down with, "A young lady should know how to be a little more reserved," then moved her to the farthest VIP room.

When the heartthrob invited Cheng Yang to work as his interpreter again, Pei Yizhou offered dozens of times more money and poached her on the spot.

Things went on like this, neither of them defining what they were, until one night Cheng Yang got tipsy. Half-asleep, she was carried back to her room by Pei Yizhou, who asked with self-mockery, "Is he really that wonderful to you?"

Cheng Yang didn't understand and mumbled a reply.

The next morning, as soon as she opened the door, she saw him leaning against the corridor wall, his back looking forlorn and his eyes red. When he saw her looking over, he finally said with great restraint:

"Actually, my brother and I look pretty alike. If you want, I can give it a try too."

The heartthrob, who happened to be passing by: "?"

Cheng Yang, who had no idea what he was up to from beginning to end: "???"

P.S.:

1. Everyday-life romance, with the leads saving each other.

2. The male lead starts out as a straight-laced, arrogant guy, then turns into an utterly lovesick fool.

3. The male lead mistakenly believes the heroine likes his older brother. At first, he helps her pursue him; later, he treats his own brother as a romantic rival.

4. Both leads are virgins and each other's first love.
