My Crush Doesn't Seem to Know I Successfully Confessed to Him

Yan Yan seems to have been born without a clue when it comes to love.

But lately, Yan Yan has decided to confess to someone.

Even though that person is strange, sometimes arrogantly sharp-tempered, and sometimes very kind to her.

Sheng Guichi, famous campus band's lead singer and guitarist. Whenever he appears onstage, he draws screams from thousands of fans. In private, he's a cold, arrogant king who doesn't go easy on anyone.

As luck would have it, Sheng Guichi has also recently been finding Yan Yan's behavior strange. She says she misses him over the phone, hugs him as soon as they meet, and insists on following him to the hotel room he booked for the night.

When they get to the room, she looks around, draws the curtains, and then goes to take a shower.

She's taken care of everything except paying attention to him.

Just as he's wondering what's going on, Yan Yan calls out to him again, her tone polite and casual. "Sheng Guichi, I didn't bring pajamas. Could I borrow one of your shirts to wear?"

Sheng Guichi can't take it anymore.

What's with flirting and then not following through?

A little later, in the bathroom, fragrant steam filled with a girlish scent swirls around them. Sheng Guichi lifts the baffled Yan Yan onto the vanity counter and looks up at her, his voice so hoarse it's almost unrecognizable. "Yan Yan, stop teasing me. Are you going to let me kiss you or not?"

Yan Yan has no idea why he's asking that. Confused, she says, "Isn't this what boyfriends normally do?"

Sheng Guichi, who has no idea when he got promoted to boyfriend:?

During the year Jin Shixian doted on Cheng Ci the most, everyone around him said she was an easy girl to be with.

She asked for little, was obedient and sensible, never clung or made a fuss, and when graduation came, she parted with him amicably. She was almost too well-behaved.

The only time she crossed the line was when she came to see him alone one day after they broke up, then left again after leaving a sticky note as her farewell.

With the Jin family's power, there was nothing Jin Shixian couldn't get if he wanted it. Tracking down a college student's whereabouts would have been no trouble at all.

But he never asked a single question. Everyone who knew about their relationship said that Jin Shixian probably hadn't taken Cheng Ci seriously at all.

Three years later, Cheng Ci had become famous in the industry, and billboards for the jewelry brand she had newly endorsed filled the city.

The publicity was so huge that even Jin Shixian, a man at the top of the social ladder, took notice.

By the river, he lit a cigarette and studied it for a long time.

The woman with those cool, indifferent eyes had once knocked on his door on a rainy night after their breakup and said, drenched, "Jin Shixian, I'm unhappy."

They clearly shouldn't have had any more contact, but he found he couldn't refuse her.

She stayed from autumn to winter, arriving suddenly and leaving decisively. When they met again, she treated him like a stranger.

In the makeup room backstage, someone brought up that old story. Cheng Ci didn't even open her eyes as she said that Jin Shixian was a stranger to her and they had only met by chance.

Yet this very man, on the strength of a chance encounter, knocked on her door the day he heard she planned to leave the industry and kissed her without a word.

Even the usually composed and refined Mr. Jin could turn dark and cold, all because of one sentence.

He gripped her wrist, almost forcing her to speak. "Cheng Ci, do you absolutely have to leave?"

Soft rain, icy snow. In the second year after Cheng Ci left, Jin Shixian suddenly realized that he might never have truly understood her.

[And from then on, in every kind of weather, good or bad, cloudy or clear, rain or snow or sunshine,

I will think of you for no reason at all.]
