Blurb dated July 21, 2025
"Let's talk after the college entrance exams. I'm heading back first." In the dim stairwell, Jin Nianxia nervously refused outright. But as she turned and hurried down the stairs, she crashed straight into Song Shengxu, the aloof campus heartthrob!
Could she be any more unlucky?
The guy she might have a crush on had apparently witnessed someone confessing to her in person...
Even worse, in her panic, she seemed to have... maybe... probably... planted a big smooch on his smooth cheek?!
Years after graduation, at a class reunion, once it was over and everyone was leaving, Jin Nianxia, buoyed by alcohol (or maybe courage), closed her eyes and rushed toward that slender figure. "Song Shengxu! I like you! I have for years..."
"Mm..."
Before she could finish, a warm, broad hand clamped down on the back of her slender neck!
Surrounded by the overwhelming scent of mint, he gazed at her with deep eyes and a low voice. "I should be the one to say that first."
Reader's guide:
★ Mutual secret crushes + sweet campus romance + personal growth, both leads are each other's only partners, happy ending
★ The story follows them from school to the wedding altar. The heroine isn't perfect; she grows over time.
