[An upcoming childhood-friends romance of the same type: The Engagement Invitation I Accidentally Sent to My Childhood Friend]
A clueless, slow-to-catch-on sweetheart vs. a lovesick puppy who's been plotting for ages
Childhood friends / college campus / unrequited love from the male lead
1.
When Pei Nianci was in her first year of high school, Chen Mengzhou earned a spot in Jingxi University's gifted youth program, becoming the "amazing guy who went to college at sixteen" everyone talked about.
She went up a mountain to watch the meteor shower. She hadn't invited him, but Chen Mengzhou followed behind her as usual.
They'd been classmates since kindergarten. After more than ten years, Pei Nianci had grown used to having her good friend around. She felt sad about their impending separation.
But Chen Mengzhou seemed to be in a good mood, with enough leisure to discuss the light of the moon on the sixteenth day of the lunar month.
She was annoyed.
2.
Pei Nianci accidentally kissed Chen Mengzhou after getting drunk.
Though she interpreted the kiss as an intimate meeting between lips and facial skin, she could tell that Chen Mengzhou looked at her differently afterward.
Pei Nianci drew up a very thorough plan for protecting their fragile friendship.
But Chen Mengzhou wasn't reassured. He only got more and more awkward.
3.
One afternoon, Pei Nianci leaned on the windowsill and watched Chen Mengzhou play basketball.
Their eyes met from afar, and suddenly her heart started racing.
After dinner, she got a text from him asking her to come downstairs. He'd bought her favorite milk tea.
The evening breeze carried the clean scent of lime from the young man. Pei Nianci bit her straw and stole glances at him, her eyes traveling from his handsome nose to his thin lips.
Chen Mengzhou caught her looking. "Are you thinking of kissing me again?"
"I haven't been drinking today." Pei Nianci still seemed worried about her campaign to defend their friendship. She asked him, "Can we still be friends after we kiss?"
"We can't be friends," Chen Mengzhou replied in a lazy, husky voice. "But we can be boyfriend and girlfriend."

Bonus scene:
In their fifth year of marriage, their child found several bundles of yellowed old love letters. They were from boys who'd been Pei Nianci's classmates, but she'd never received any of them. It didn't take much imagination to guess who had intercepted them.
One letter was different. It had neither a recipient nor a signature.
When she opened it, the handwriting on the page was Chen Mengzhou's from his youth.
"I confessed to you for the first time when I was sixteen, the day I got into the gifted youth program.
That night, I left the friends who'd thrown me a celebration party and went up the mountain with you to wait for the meteors and feed the mosquitoes.
'What a beautiful moon tonight.'
A sixteen-year-old boy could only manage such an awkward pickup line.
'Of course,' you said matter-of-factly. 'The moon is fullest on the sixteenth.'
Sure enough, you were as cute as ever."
Reader's guide:
1. Both leads are virgins. Happy ending.
2. There will be a little competition between men, with a new arrival driving the plot.
3. The heroine isn't stupid, just a little slow when it comes to romance. I'll take care of comments that insult her~
---- The Engagement Invitation I Accidentally Sent to My Childhood Friend ----
1.
The day Gu Huaijue went abroad to study, she deleted Yuan Yu's contact information.
In their friendship of more than twenty years, they'd told each other not to meet again far too many times during arguments.
This time, they really didn't see each other for three years.
But when she'd been wronged and got dead drunk, Gu Huaijue still instinctively dialed the number she'd memorized by heart.
It was the middle of the night back home, eight thousand kilometers away. A man's lazy, deep voice came through:
"Didn't you say you didn't want me anymore? Why are you calling me to cry now?"
2.
After Gu Huaijue and Yuan Yu got their marriage licenses, hardly anyone knew. When she introduced Yuan Yu to her friends, she still said, "He's my brother."
The singing in the private room was deafening. Gu Huaijue could only hear Yuan Yu whisper in her ear: "Can you marry your brother, or kiss your brother?"
The corner was filled with a cautious yet brazenly obvious atmosphere of intimacy. Gu Huaijue's heart thumped twice.
Theme: Grow up happily
Author I don't know if you can see it or not. But almost every book you update is like squeezing out toothpaste. You are so busy with work that I can understand better every other day. But you update again and again the next day and ask for leave to let readers go. After entering v, I installed daily updates for two days and stopped writing the last article. I also procrastinated for half a year. Is this worthy of the readers who have been chasing updates? You might as well tell the readers if there are no more updates. It's fun to be silent and pretend to be dead. If you continue to write, you'd better open a new account to write articles, otherwise I will keep staring at you. Forever forever. . .
No, don't stop updating. I like this story very much. I just want to ask for leave, but also for whatever reason. 😭 😭 😭 😭
Started to stop updating again. . The last book was like this 😭
It's more than 1,500 words. I'm completely confused and don't want to solve the v. Author, can you respond? If you really continue to write, I will continue to follow it. Don't waste time because you don't want to write. You will write a chapter every four months.
So have you given up completely? I can only laugh at this scam.
This novel is the most tiring one to follow, and I have to read it again every time to read what is said in the previous chapter.
We won't have to wait another four months for the next update, right?
Is this book abandoned?
I can't do it anymore, so I saw my grandparents crying?
Hhhhhhh, okay, okay, you know how to do publicity [Purple Sugar] kswl
