[Main story is told in third person]

I picked up a romance game after a friend recommended it.

In the game, I unexpectedly met an NPC who was both a social recluse and highly intelligent. Sometimes I could even hear her thoughts.

After a misunderstanding, I received a handwritten apology letter from her, completely bewildered. Every word was sincere, and the whole page was filled with her remorse. Although I had no idea what had happened, the line in the letter that said, "Qi, please haunt me like a ghost for the rest of my life. Please, I really want to be your friend," shocked me.

N-no, I'm not some creepy, lovesick ghost girl.

[Xu Mi's perspective]

I couldn't help secretly watching the new transfer student again.

She had such a friendly smile, and seemed very good at getting along with people. In just a few days, she'd already become close with lots of people. But I wasn't one of them, because there was such a huge distance between Qi and me. My seat was at the very back of the third section.

That made me just a tiny bit sad.

Qi seemed to sparkle. From the very first time I saw her, my normally steady heartbeat had inexplicably gone haywire. So during class, I couldn't help watching her back and getting lost in thought, trying to figure out why my heart was beating irregularly.

I thought I was keeping my gaze secret. After all, I was just an ordinary, invisible person in class. But then Qi actually turned around and smiled at me!!!

"?"

Help, my heart's racing again.
