★Spoiled young lady and aloof heartthrob
When Wen Li first met Lu Shi in the library, half the boy's face was hidden in shadow. He seemed aloof and utterly captivating.
Wen Li spotted the copy of Love Letter in his hand and, on impulse, struck up a conversation: "I have earphones. Want to listen together?"
The boy politely turned her down, but the bookmark he gave her in return stayed on Wen Li's mind all summer.
They never met again during those quiet summer days spent in the library.
Her heart fluttering, her crush became a love letter, a secret love sealed away in Love Letter, never to come to anything.
When they meet again, the transfer student Lu Shi sweeps through the whole school with his languid aura, like an untouchable flower growing on a high mountain.
The boy she'd had a "bookmark crush" on becomes her deskmate, and Wen Li's summer begins with a flutter of her heart.
"I've been struck! By Cupid's arrow of love! It's fate! It's a match made in heaven!" Wen Li makes a grand display of her open crush.
Autumn leaves stir the heart, and Wen Li tentatively asks, "Deskmate, want to go to the library together?"
Her usual confidence in front of everyone turns to a paper balloon, deflating the moment she's with him.
Everyone: Where's the forceful seduction I was looking forward to???
Wen Li is certain: He likes ladylike girls. This is how you slowly boil a frog.
After a brutal joint exam, Wen Li forgets all about keeping up her image. Her bangs stick up in anger as she cries:
"What super all-rounder? He's a super beast, that's what he is!!"
After cursing out the grade office, Wen Li unexpectedly meets Lu Shi's amused gaze.
"It's not... I'm very ladylike." Wen Li covers her head with her exam paper like an ostrich, giving up on all pretense. "You have amnesia. If you remember this, you're dead."
The boy bends down and speaks enticingly: "Forcing your way in works better than slowly boiling a frog. Why not try it?"
"Huh?" Wen Li feels her face burn with embarrassment. The next second, the exam paper is lifted off her head.
Lu Shi rubs her soft, fluffy hair. "I mean, you're so lively and vivid like this. It's adorable."

A copy of Love Letter sits on a library table, with their names side by side on the library card.
A hidden love letter is tucked beneath the book. The difference is that this one contains the boy's heartfelt reply.
"Your silhouette
Is like a song rippling in the spring breeze.", Love Letter
