A Secret Crush

1

In high school, he was the campus heartthrob at the affiliated school: handsome, wealthy, and so good at everything he had more medals than he could count. Countless girls liked him.

She was quiet and unremarkable. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get into the Olympiad class. Her only connection to him was that she lived with his family. Even when he gave her a ride home on his bike at night, they barely spoke.

When his friends teased him about her, he would only raise an eyebrow and laugh, "Give it a rest. She's my little sister. She's timid and can't take a joke."

The boldest thing she ever did was steal a kiss from him at his coming-of-age ceremony.

The moment he opened his eyes, she was brought back to her senses. All she could do was pretend to be drunk and call out his friend Li Yan's name.

He threw her outside, pointed at Li Yan, and sneered, "Keep an eye on her."

When they grew up, he was still dazzling. She was just a D-list actress. When someone stole a role from her, all she could do was silently put up with it. The thing she did most was sneak off to his city just to try the food he had once eaten.

They met again at a banquet. Seeing people force drinks on her, he finally lost his patience and dragged her into a corner. "Where's Li Yan? He doesn't look after you anymore?"

He glanced at her, still refined and proud, as if the whole world belonged to him.

For the first time, she couldn't hide how she felt. Eyes red, she rasped, "We broke up ages ago."

After a stunned pause, he swore. "Why are you crying? I'll introduce you to someone better."

He gripped her chin and smiled wickedly. "What about me?"

"If you don't say anything, I'll take that as a yes."
