The Rules of a Secret Crush

Ever since she was fifteen, Yu Min had carried someone in her heart. Lin Baixin was her childhood friend's older sister, her neighbor, and once her tutor and something like a guardian. That year, her parents were fighting over their divorce, and Yu Min was passed back and forth like a burden. Lin Baixin came to get her and took her away from that home, where the arguments never stopped. Later, when Yu Min's parents actually divorced and neither of them wanted her, Lin Baixin took her in too, raising her for years without asking for anything in return. Lin Baixin was gentle, kind, and almost impossibly perfect. The only flaw was that she never returned Yu Min's feelings. She always seemed like an outsider, unmoved no matter how hard Yu Min tried to get closer. Warm on the surface and cold inside, she seemed born with a heart of stone. Until one day, Yu Min finally gave up. She listened to Lin Baixin and tried to be normal again, agreeing to a blind date. The date was supposed to be with her childhood friend's friend, but the person who showed up was Lin Baixin, the older sister. Sitting face-to-face, Lin Baixin stayed silent for a long time. After nearly half a day of wordless tension, she finally parted her lips and asked quietly, “So you really do whatever I tell you?” Yu Min remained quiet, eyes lowered, and gave no answer. Lin Baixin regretted it, too late. But Yu Min was stubborn. When she loved Lin Baixin, she was unwavering and reckless, refusing to turn back even after hitting a wall. Now that she'd given up, she was more resolute than anyone. When she said she was letting go, she meant it. P.S. 【Yu Min has a secret crush in the first part, after she comes of age.
