Childhood Friend, Stop Being Jealous

Synopsis:

Shen Yizhou's long, long journey of unrequited love, the emotionally clueless Zhu Zhixia, and the jealous Shen Yizhou.

He would always ask helplessly, "What am I to you?"

Zhu Zhixia would earnestly tell him, "You're my most important friend!"

That wasn't the answer he wanted.

"But I don't want to be just your friend..." Shen Yizhou would say, crestfallen.

"What? You want to stop being friends?" Zhu Zhixia knew nothing about romantic feelings. All she knew was that Shen Yizhou was throwing another childish tantrum.

Why did this childhood friend always act like a spoiled young lady?

Zhu Zhixia had no idea about the affection he kept hidden, but she couldn't dodge a direct confession.

A younger schoolmate bluntly confessed to Zhu Zhixia, leaving her no way to fight back and making Shen Yizhou jealous for quite some time.

"Who is he?" Shen Yizhou demanded, arms crossed.

"My little brother," Zhu Zhixia replied helplessly.

"What about me?" The young master was angry again.

"You're my little brother too," Zhu Zhixia said patiently, trying to soothe him.

"I don't want to be your little brother. I want to be your boyfriend." Shen Yizhou could no longer hide his affection.

But Zhu Zhixia took a step back. "No."

She couldn't accept Shen Yizhou's confession without a second thought. They had to be a suitable match.

She wasn't the Zhu family's biological child. She had been adopted.

Zhu Zhixia could accept Shen Yizhou's kindness without qualms as a friend, but she couldn't accept his kindness as a romantic partner so easily.

And so the jealous young master's long journey to win her over began.

(Shen Yizhou's inner thoughts: Are you kidding me? I worked so hard to clear every obstacle, and now the young lady won't accept my feelings!!!)

(Another inner thought: Why am I still the one chasing her? Shouldn't she be chasing me?!!!)

Open and poised / perceptive / extremely capable Zhu Zhixia VS jealous / far-sighted / scheming Shen Yizhou
