Please, Can't You Like Me?

[Childhood sweethearts | One-sided love from the hero | High school and college romance | Sweet fluff]

On the graduation trip after the college entrance exams, Xu Yingqiu clutched a love letter and rushed over to her dream guy.

"Could you please like me?"

When she heard no reply for a long time, Xu Yingqiu opened her eyes to peek.

In fact, she had handed the letter to her childhood friend by mistake.

The moment Cheng Yanzhou received it, he knew she'd given it to the wrong person.

He froze for a long time. "...Did you lose a game of Truth or Dare?"

Much later, she was still single.

Cheng Yanzhou tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

He stayed awake until dawn, then finally couldn't resist pulling out his phone to message her.

"Do you really like him that much?"

"He's just a little handsome, gets slightly better grades, and has slightly longer legs." He gripped his phone tightly, almost crushing the screen as he typed.

"Besides, he doesn't like you."

"Forget it. I've thought it over."

"I'm not bad-looking, my grades are decent, and my legs aren't shorter than his."

"Can I join you two?"

"I won't be your boyfriend. I can secretly be your lover, too."

The next day, Xu Yingqiu saw the messages. "...What?"

*Sharp-tongued but softhearted young master childhood friend x bright, cheerful puppy-like childhood sweetheart

Tips:

1. The dream guy is a fake. He was never interested in her.

2. Childhood friends to lovers, with feelings that go from one-sided to mutual.

3. Slice of life. The hero is completely love-struck.

4. They're both a little stubborn. Early on, neither of them can put their feelings into words, but they get better later.

5. The heroine's main job is being a social media influencer.

The next book is Heartbeat Proof.
