What does it feel like to have your heart stirred?
By Liang Yueyue
Gu Nanchu is the son of my homeroom teacher, the number one student at Jinghai High School, and someone I care about.
He is the first hint of a flutter that begins the moment we meet.
Meng Xin was my classmate for three years in elementary school, but she doesn't seem to remember me. So I'll pretend we're strangers, too.
I want to tease her, but I also want to protect her. I want to stay away from her, but I also want to be by her side.
Gu Nanchu's hobbies: cats and "teasing" Meng Xin
Meng Xin's hobbies: eating and caring about Gu Nanchu
On her way home from school, Meng Xin spotted a boy by the roadside petting a stray cat.
Taking a closer look, she realized it seemed to be Gu Nanchu!
Meng Xin watched the happy expression on Gu Nanchu's face.
Gu Nanchu sensed someone looking at him and turned around. He saw Meng Xin standing a short distance away.
Gu Nanchu: "What are you doing?"
Meng Xin: "I'm not looking. Don't mind me, keep going."
Meng Xin covered her face with both hands and peeked through the gaps between her fingers.
Gu Nanchu: ???
Cat: ???
