The Moon Rises, the Tide Comes In [Campus]

Childhood friends | Mutual unrequited love | Reunited after years apart

Shi Yue has a handsome, popular boy next door she calls her big brother. Ever since she can remember, her daily routine has been eating, sleeping, and looking for him.

Everyone knows that Xie Chaoqi is not only handsome but has also ranked first in his science track for years. He's also famous for being aloof, with a face that says, "Stay away."

No one understands how Shi Yue manages to spend all her time with someone like him.

The day she realizes she's fallen for Xie Chaoqi, she starts to panic.

Shi Yue wants him to know she likes him.

But she's also afraid of him finding out.

When she learns that Xie Chaoqi has a girlfriend, Shi Yue argues with him for the first time. From then on, they become strangers, never contacting each other again.

After graduating, Xie Chaoqi returns to Ning City.

Maybe it's just her imagination, but Shi Yue feels that Xie Chaoqi treats her differently now.

One day, Shi Yue gets completely drunk. Staring at Xie Chaoqi, she can't stop the tears from falling. "Big brother, I've missed you so much."

Hearing this, Xie Chaoqi pulls her into his arms without hesitation.

"Do you know why I never dated anyone before?" Xie Chaoqi strokes her cheek, his gaze intense yet restrained.

Shi Yue seems to guess the reason, and her heart races.

"Because I was waiting for her to grow up."

A warm kiss lands on her lips.
