"My observation notebook holds a million heartbeats, and you are the only unpredictable variable."
Jiang Manzhi has a meticulous set of rules for having a secret crush:
1. Record Zhou Yubai's eyelash-flutter frequency with microscopic precision.
2. Disguise the cookies she gives him as "club supplies."
3. If she gets caught, swallow the diary page immediately. Until one day, he bends down to pick up the scraps of paper she tore up in a panic. From behind his glasses, his gaze is as precise as a scalpel.
"Jiang, on the seventh line of your third page, you wrote, 'The way Zhou Yubai bites his pen cap is like a hamster.' Would you like me to provide more samples for your observations?"
Zhou Yubai has three secrets:
1. He arranges every item he repairs according to the Fibonacci sequence.
2. He drew 127 sketches of her sleeping face on the back of a philosophy exam.
3. The chip implanted in his heart contains an analysis of the composition of her tears.
