Fish in a Winter Pond

/* My story next door, Kiss Beneath the Stars [Marriage Before Love], is now live! Please add it to your collection!

At the awards ceremony during the sophomore welcoming gala, Lin Qingyu fell in love.

The guy was Jiang Siheng, one of the top students in the computer science department. Relationship status: single.

Lin Qingyu thought her chance had come.

Adding each other on WeChat went smoothly, and Jiang Siheng always answered whenever she asked him something.

She figured she had a 30% chance.

So Lin Qingyu started trying every way she could think of to ask him out.

Fishy Not Moody: Can I invite you to see a movie?

JS.h: Sure.

Fishy Not Moody: Can I invite you to dinner?

JS.h: Sure.

Lin Qingyu spotted a pattern: Jiang Siheng didn't seem good at turning people down.

Since she had a 100% success rate so far, she figured things were in the bag and got bolder.

Fishy Not Moody: Then can I ask you to be my boyfriend?

JS.h: No.

Lin Qingyu: ???

And then... Lin Qingyu got rejected by Jiang Siheng three times in the space of half a year whenever she brought up dating.

Kuang Ning: Who said this guy was bad at turning people down? He's doing a pretty good job of it.

Fishy Not Moody: [Angry face][Angry face]

After they got together, Lin Qingyu asked Jiang Siheng many times when he'd started liking her.

But Jiang Siheng didn't know either. It was as if, during that time, he had been caught in a tug-of-war with himself.

He kept drawing close, then pushing her away again.

It was as if a set of scales inside him kept weighing everything up, just like the lyrics say:

"For an uncertain future, I gave up this moment."

- Openly and ardently declaring my love is the most sincere heart a cautious, slow-to-warm earth sign can offer you.

An offbeat Virgo girl * a calm and composed Taurus man

- She pursues him ^ two earth signs tugging at each other
