[Mutual pining] [Warm and sweet romance]
During the summer break of her first year of high school, Chu Nian's new neighbors moved in next door. One of them was a younger boy she'd met once before.
He was only a year younger than Chu Nian. They had met once when she was ten, and all she knew about him was that he was a chubby, quiet boy who did nothing but study.
Six years later, when they met again, the chubby boy had grown tall and slim, and was rather handsome.
Her mother told her to look after him from then on, and Chu Nian assumed she would have a handsome, top-performing little sidekick by her side.
But as they spent more time together, she realized he treated her completely differently from everyone else.
She could always feel how much he favored her.
A new kind of feeling began to stir in Chu Nian's heart, too.
What she didn't know was that six years earlier, she had shone into his bleak world like a brilliant ray of sunshine, warming him.
Six years later, he turned the warmth she had given him into love, and wrapped it around her.
"One-sided love quietly takes root in the other person's silent devotion."
