Because of her mother’s job transfer, Yan Yu transferred to A City No. 1 High School.

She arrived in her second year of high school, when everyone in her class already had their own cliques. It was hard for a transfer student to fit in, so most of the time she quietly worked through practice problems. Then, after a monthly exam, she became desk mates with Li Banci.

Li Banci was known as an aloof beauty, reserved and unsmiling, with a distant air. But Yan Yu liked her.

Li Banci was beautiful, like the cool, pure-hearted muse described in a novel.

She excelled at her studies and patiently helped Yan Yu with math problems.

She played the violin and was the star of the school gala.

Yan Yu couldn’t remember when she had fallen for Li Banci. By the time she realized it, her gaze had already begun to follow Li Banci everywhere.

A high school crush was tender and bittersweet, like a monsoon sweeping in. Yan Yu didn’t dare speak her feelings aloud.

After graduation, Li Banci went to Ireland to study, and Yan Yu could only learn a little about her life now and then from her social media posts.

As university graduation drew near, Yan Yu saw Li Banci’s latest post: I’m going to confess today.

Yan Yu thought that after six years, it was time to put an end to her unrequited love.

Just as Yan Yu was putting her feelings aside and focusing on preparing for her graduation defense, Li Banci appeared in front of her without warning, holding a bouquet of yellow roses.

Yan Yu was stunned.

Li Banci walked toward her as she stood there in shock. “Hello, Yan Yu. I’m here to confess my feelings.”

Yan Yu: !!!

[A little scene]

After they got together, Yan Yu asked Li Banci when she had started liking her.

Li Banci teased her. “Guess?”

Yan Yu: (`^?)ノ

Li Banci smiled at her, her gaze gentle.

Every time you looked at me, I quietly looked back at you.

When you fell for me, I happened to be falling for you, too.

The year Yan Banxia turned twenty-three, she followed her family’s arrangements and entered an arranged marriage.

Her partner was the heir to the Luo family, a striking beauty and a notorious workaholic.

On their wedding night, Luo Xixin laid down three rules for Yan Banxia: Don’t disturb her work, don’t cause her trouble, and don’t cling to her or show off their affection in front of other people.

Besides that, as long as it didn’t go against her principles, Luo Xixin would give Yan Banxia whatever she wanted.

After hearing Luo Xixin out, Yan Banxia asked with a bright smile, “Do you mean it?”

Luo Xixin: “I do.”

Then Yan Banxia patted the spot beside her. “Come on, give me what I want.”

Luo Xixin: “?”

Not long after they married, Yan Banxia went away on a business trip to film.

Every day, Luo Xixin received all kinds of affectionate greetings from her, along with unabashed messages about how much Yan Banxia liked and cared about her.

Even though she wasn’t by Luo Xixin’s side, it felt as if she were everywhere.

Then one day, Luo Xixin went the entire day without receiving a message from Yan Banxia.

She suddenly found herself missing them and wanting to know what Yan Banxia was doing, so she called her first.

The call connected, and Yan Banxia’s triumphant, teasing voice came through. “What? Miss me?”

“...”

Luo Xixin felt as though Yan Banxia had her wrapped around her finger.
