[Proud, radiant childhood sweetheart × restrained, secretly passionate childhood friend]
- “She is the proudest rose on the branch, yet only for him will she lower her petals.” -
Su Huahuan is so haughty that she acts indifferent toward everyone. She was born to be adored by all, but whenever she sees Xu Hezhi, a glimmer of light appears in her eyes.
Like an elegant yet slightly haughty pink-calyx rose.
Xu Hezhi, meanwhile, has one principle: every ounce of tenderness in his life bears Su Huahuan's name.
Su Huahuan's love is bold and unrestrained, while Xu Hezhi's is carefully held close to his heart.
“An Awkward Confession”
“I want to pursue you.” She gazed straight into his peach-blossom eyes, speaking with sincerity. “I like you, Xu Hezhi.”
His heart skipped half a beat, and every beat belonged to her.
Xu Hezhi only said, “Don't joke around.”
He knew she liked to tease him. He couldn't bear it. He had no idea how much he liked Su Huahuan.
But the surroundings were quiet, and the birds in the branches chirped away. He could hear her heartbeat clearly. It wasn't the wind stirring her heart, but her heart beating for him.
Her voice suddenly rang out, breaking the silence.
“When I like someone, I'm never joking.” Su Huahuan tilted her head, smiling brightly.
Her eyes sparkled as if they held stars. “You know that, Xu Hezhi.”
“Jealousy Comes to a Boil”
While she was pursuing him, someone else was falling for her, too.
He saw the scene when that person confessed, but Su Huahuan didn't say a word.
She acted as if nothing had happened. “Little Xu, let's go home!”
She walked half a meter away, but Xu Hezhi remained where he was.
Su Huahuan turned back and asked, “Aren't you coming?”
The glow of the sunset fell across his face. “Aren't you going to comfort me?”
Su Huahuan: ???
“Su Huahuan, you should comfort me,” Xu Hezhi said, sounding a little aggrieved. “This isn't how you pursue someone.”
