Ji Zhili is reserved and quiet. He has kept his feelings for Ren You so well hidden that no one knows. Only once did he let it slip, and his deskmate found out.
His deskmate was shocked. “Huh? You didn’t know Ren You already likes someone?”
Of course he knew. He also knew that Ren You and the person he liked made a perfect couple, dazzling all of No. 12 High School.
Meanwhile, Ji Zhili was just a dull, unremarkable nobody. The only reason anyone remembered who he was was because he was labeled Ren You’s childhood friend.
Still, Ji Zhili thought he had one very important place in Ren You’s life: as a witness to Ren You’s passionate romance.
In their senior year, Ren You cheerfully said he wanted to attend X University and asked if Ji Zhili wanted to go with him.
Ji Zhili’s heart skipped a beat, and, as if possessed, he agreed, even though getting into X University with his grades was nearly impossible.
Only later did Ji Zhili learn that it was the person Ren You liked who really wanted to attend X University. Ren You had followed them there, and his promise to Ji Zhili had just been something he’d said offhand. Ji Zhili had only imagined it was a promise.

This little gray sparrow, Ji Zhili, was always by Ren You’s side, so people couldn’t help teasing them:
“Ren You, if you ask me, there’s nothing wrong with dating someone close to home.”
“Get lost. He’s my friend for life.”
His love had warmed and cooled again and again, until at last it went completely cold. Ji Zhili finally gave up on Ren You.

Ji Zhili still ended up at X University. At the freshman orientation, Ren You dragged him into a corner, gritting his teeth.
“You blocked me and moved without telling me. Are you trying to drive me crazy? And who was that sitting beside you just now? Why were you so close?”
Ji Zhili brushed his hand away. His usually gentle eyes were cool as water. “What does it have to do with you?”
* A bittersweet story: the love interest has an unrequited crush early on, then the other lead goes through a long road to win him back. Expect plenty of melodrama.
* A slow-burn, everyday slice-of-life story.
I’m terrible at titles and may change the title again.
