From the male lead's perspective, unrequited love comes true | Three-year age gap | Happy ending
After her college entrance exams, Ying Qian did two things.
First, she ended her three-year-long crush.
Second, she stopped being a good girl.
When it came time to choose a university, she insisted on going to a southern city, leaving all her ties behind to start over.
On an unfamiliar street, Ying Qian let the drizzle soak through her clothes. In a daze, she bumped right into someone and instinctively apologized.
The other person steadied her as she swayed, warm and courteous.
"It's been a long time, underclassman."
Ying Qian's thoughts flew back to her second year of high school.
Back then, this person often came to their class to share study tips and encourage them.
He was outstanding and sunny, a topic of conversation, an idol, and the ideal boy every girl admired.
Only, at the time, she had been entirely focused on someone else and hadn't noticed him at all.
Perhaps meeting someone familiar in a foreign place made them feel especially close, and they began talking more often.
One night, after drinking and chatting, they accidentally ended up in bed together.
Afterward, the man looked at the young woman clutching the blanket and refusing to show her face, and chuckled.
"You've gotten braver."
"Forget everything else, but you have to take responsibility for me."

In high school, Cheng Siyi often saw a girl with a ponytail loitering in the hallways and by the stairwells, looking around with mischief she couldn't hide in her eyes.
After a while, he grew curious. His companion laughed.
"You don't get it, do you? She's 'admiring the scenery.'"
He didn't understand then. Only later did he realize what "scenery" really meant. Whenever a certain person passed by, the girl's bright, mischievous gaze would turn cautious, and the affection in her eyes was impossible to hide.
Later, he became one of those waiting to be admired as "scenery." He knew Ying Qian had someone in her heart, so he kept his distance and never crossed the line.
After the college entrance exams, his unrequited love ended without a word. He just hadn't expected to see Ying Qian again so soon. Nor had he imagined that those dreams he could barely bring himself to speak of would come true one day.
