[Reunion After a Long Separation] [Mutual Secret Crushes]
After graduating, Cheng Ran found a job in her hometown. Her parents rented her an apartment in the city center, and on the very first day she moved in, she discovered that the neighbor next door was Ji Wenyan, the heartthrob she'd secretly loved for three years in high school!
After discreetly finding out that he was still single, Cheng Ran gritted her teeth and decided to win him over!
She took every chance to get close to him. Today she'd borrow a bottle of soy sauce, tomorrow a piece of ginger, and the day after that, a candle during a power outage. Until one day, she knocked on his door. Before she could say a word, Ji Wenyan leaned against the doorframe with an amused look. "What are you planning to borrow today?"
Cheng Ran guiltily rubbed the tip of her nose. "I haven't figured that out yet. Is there anything you could lend me?"
Ji Wenyan curled his lips into a smile. "How about you borrow me?"
Cheng Ran: "...Huh?!"
*Mutual secret crushes, both making a move, not a story about the woman chasing the man.
