Mutual secret crush | Reunion after years apart
In her freshman year of college, Chen Sisi happened to run into Gu Chen on campus.
Sunlight streamed through the leaves, outlining his tall, straight figure.
As Chen Sisi gazed at him, her heart suddenly raced, and three years of longing came flooding back.
Gu Chen turned around and swept his eyes over her indifferently. His voice was flat, without a ripple of emotion. "Long time no see. You're still the same."
Chen Sisi opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but it felt as if her throat were blocked. All she could manage was a stiff, "Yeah."

When Chen Sisi learned that Gu Chen liked to spend all his time in the library, she started going there to bump into him.
Their eyes met by chance, and Chen Sisi was too slow to look away.
Gu Chen stood beside the table, his long fingers tapping lightly against it. Frowning slightly, he asked, "Why do you keep following me?"
He leaned down a little, close enough that they could feel each other's breath.
Chen Sisi's cheeks flushed. She hurriedly lowered her head and twisted the hem of her clothes. "I just wanted to talk to you."
The Gu Chen she remembered from their youth had been warm and cheerful, the softest presence in her heart.
But now he had become someone covered in thorns.

Gu Chen's world had once been a silent deep sea. Then, the day he met Chen Sisi, she came in like a ray of light, without warning. From then on, a faint glow appeared in the darkness.
She had only wandered in by accident, yet she had set his heartstrings trembling.
