[Decisive little bunny × Stubborn, bashful puppy]
Unrequited love
Stealing someone's love interest
Li Hezhou never dreamed that one second after submitting her thesis through the System, she would wake up back in her senior year of high school.
Since fate had handed her a rebirth story, of course she would make up for every regret she hadn't been able to put right.
Besides improving her grades and mending her family relationships, she also wanted to get together with Song Wenjing.
But then Fu Jiangheng suddenly appeared, planting himself right between them.
They went for a walk, and he started fixing the road.
They chatted, and he repeated everything they said.
They studied, and he joined them.
Finally, Li Hezhou couldn't take it anymore.
"Fu Jiangheng, are you ever going to stop?"
"There's a saying: whenever three people walk together, one of them must be a third wheel."
"You know that, do you?"
"Well~ Song Wenjing is the third wheel."
Li Hezhou: Huh???

In her past life, Li Hezhou had thought Fu Jiangheng was a spoiled rich kid who strutted around like he owned the place. Rumor had it he skipped class to hang out at internet cafes, looked down on everyone, and got a new girlfriend every week.
One day, in a light drizzle, she found Fu Jiangheng burning with a fever in the school infirmary.
The boy lay curled up on the infirmary bed, a school jacket covering him.
When he saw Li Hezhou, Fu Jiangheng hurriedly pulled the jacket over most of his face, leaving only his eyes visible as he looked at her. "Don't come too close. You'll catch it."
"Are you okay?"
"Not really."
The girl bent down to touch Fu Jiangheng's forehead, but the scorching heat suddenly enveloped her hand, suspended in midair.
Fu Jiangheng looked at Li Hezhou through his feverish haze. A hazy, enchanting mist seemed to cloud his eyes, and even his voice sounded aggrieved. "I'm not okay because you hate me."
That day's rain beat against the glass, and fell upon Li Hezhou's heart.

Bonus scene
By chance, Li Hezhou came into possession of a pink diary. It had no name or entries, only a cryptic message on the back cover.
Later, words suddenly appeared in the blank diary. That's when she realized it was someone's record of their secret crush.
20xx, Month x, Day x. Sunny
I think I've found someone I like today...
Well, maybe I don't like her that much. Just a tiny bit. I'm not someone whose heart is easily swayed, after all.
She has a lovely smile, but let me make one thing clear: I don't like her because she's pretty.
She's pretty to me because I like her.
Li Hezhou: Who is this??? Even his diary is so smug and tsundere.
