A Cross-Time Secret Crush

Everyone in Class 89, the gifted class at Qingming No. 1 High School, knows that the aloof Jiang Zhiyun always gazes passionately at one person

Qin Sinan from Class 226, the honors class.

Everyone knows she has a crush on him.

*

Qin Sinan is as bold and dazzling as the sun, but his grades aren’t the very best.

In the stagnant pool of high school life, he’s the only ray of sunshine, and everyone is drawn to him.

A friend tells Qin Sinan that Jiang Zhiyun likes him.

Qin Sinan brushes it off with a laugh. Countless girls like him.

Over the course of their three years in high school, he gradually accepts that Jiang Zhiyun likes him. Now they’re about to graduate, and given his family background, they’ll probably never meet again.

After the college entrance exams, Qin Sinan stops Jiang Zhiyun beneath a pagoda tree at the edge of the sports field. Specks of sunlight fall through the leaves as he says, “Jiang Zhiyun, since you like me, how about I do you the favor of being your boyfriend for two months?”

After the holidays, he’ll be going abroad. Being her boyfriend for two months seems like a fair way to repay her feelings.

Qin Sinan thinks it’s a good deal.

Jiang Zhiyun’s eyes are bright, but his reflection isn’t in them. She politely shakes her head. “Classmate, I don’t like forcing anyone. And I think you may have misunderstood something, ”

“You’re not the person I like.”

Before Qin Heyang truly met Jiang Zhiyun, he had only seen her twice.

The first time, he was upset and racing his motorcycle. She chased after him on her own bike. When she took off her helmet, sweat dampened her hair, and the sunset glimmered around her. She was full of energy.

The second time, he attended a banquet with the daughter of his parents’ friend. When his companion was humiliated, Jiang Zhiyun came to her defense, and he learned that she was his companion’s older sister. She was a little different from before, though, steadier and more “withdrawn.”

The third time he saw her was when they truly met.

She

Was now like stagnant water, with no spark of life in her eyes.

Once again, he reaches into his wool coat and takes out a little bear-shaped candy, placing it in her hand.

Jiang Zhiyun realizes it a beat later. Smiling brightly, she walks backward with her hands behind her. The streetlights have just come on, shining on her like a spotlight. She states how she feels:

“Qin Heyang, do you like me?”

He smiles with his lips pressed together. “More than like you.”

Later, he learns about her youth from his younger brother.

His unrequited love and hers crossed paths at different times, but fate brought them together.

*Both leads are each other’s only partners
