Fleeing Beneath the Fireworks

[Headstrong Girl X Proud, Refined Young Master Who Knows How to Lead]

[Mutual Healing | Engagement Trope | Living Together]

Everyone at Jinde School knew that Cen Jiye was a ruthless lunatic. He had once beaten his younger stepbrother so badly that he ended up in the hospital, right in front of everyone. So when the beautiful, reserved transfer student Ke Yi accidentally broke the rules by delivering someone else's love letter to him, and he was beaten by his father and left injured because of it, everyone thought Ke Yi was done for.

But before long, to everyone's shock, Ke Yi seemed just as formidable as Cen Jiye. She didn't take the young master seriously at all.

Everyone at school waited for the two of them to fight. Instead, what they got was an engagement banquet.

The invited students stared in disbelief. Wait, what? How did the school's former and current tyrants end up engaged?

As fireworks blossomed across the sky, the two leads gazed at each other from opposite sides of a covered walkway. Then, in perfect unison, they slipped away from the crowd, escaped the grand, ornately decorated villa, and ran to the nearby beach.

The endless din of fireworks provided the perfect cover as they hid from their families and everyone else.

Cen Jiye's first seventeen years were shrouded in darkness, until one day a little friend barged into his life and told him, "Stop hurting yourself. That trick won't work on them."

Cen Jiye's heart seemed to tremble. Later, he asked, "Then will that trick work on you?"

On a summer beach, beneath a grand and romantic display of fireworks, everyone was cheering. But I was focused on just one thing with all my heart: kissing you.

A pure-comedy girl X a gentle boy [Secret Love Comes True]

Honestly, Chen Xingyun's crush on Duan Xuyi was pretty shallow. She'd fallen for his looks at first sight.

Her friend once asked her, "You don't seem like the type to fall in love at first sight. How did you end up liking him?"

Chen Xingyun replied, "Can't help it. It was drizzling among the apricot blossoms that day, the soccer field was lush and green, and even his school uniform looked especially good on him. He was like a spotless, adorable little boy, like a blank sheet of paper. How could I not like him?"

Chen Xingyun was always talking big in front of her friends, saying that next time she saw him, she'd go right up, kiss him, and confess. But when she actually saw him in the school hallway, no matter how much her friends egged her on, Chen Xingyun just stood there like she'd entered a trance. She opened her eyes, renounced all worldly desires, and recited, "Alas, the people's lives are so hard..."

Chen Xingyun couldn't bring herself to confess, so she decided to use the old-fashioned method: write a love letter.

She'd just finished writing it and hadn't had a chance to deliver it when Duan Xuyi happened to stop by her classroom. He saw Chen Xingyun stuffing a pillow under her school uniform and filming a video with her friend, saying, "Me? I'm not the last humanities student at Nancheng No. 5 High School, am I..."

The boy stood at the classroom door, bright-eyed and clear-featured, laughing aloud.

The love letter was locked away, and Chen Xingyun thought her secret crush was going nowhere.

Until eight years later, when the letter fell out of a pile of old books. The twenty-five-year-old was still gentle, his eyes crinkling with a smile. "If you wrote it, why didn't you give it to me back then?"

Chen Xingyun was mortified and tentatively asked, "Do you remember what I looked like the first time you saw me?"

She thought that if he'd forgotten her embarrassing moment, she wouldn't mind doing a little cosplay now, acting out something like, "Senior, I like you. Please accept my love letter." But she hadn't expected Duan Xuyi to say, "Of course I remember. You were on the soccer field that day, and you almost got hit by a ball..."

It turned out Chen Xingyun hadn't been walking alone in this secret love after all.
