The Girl Next Door Is Adorable Today, Too

"Hey, Lin Lu, look, someone gave you a gift on your desk!" Liu Pang's voice came through, his tone tinged with teasing and banter. Lin Lu rolled her eyes in annoyance. "What's so surprising about that? Is it strange for me to receive a gift?" "Hey, it's Valentine's Day today. You didn't even forget that, did you?" Fatty Liu shrugged and pointed to the 100-day countdown calendar on the table.

The summer breeze blows across Mirror Lake, skims over weeping willows, flies past white clouds, caresses the face, and melts into the heart. It's summer again, a season that should be dreary, but thanks to yesterday's light rain, the weather is exceptionally refreshing today.

"We're really not a good match, I'm sorry." A gentle female voice, tinged with barely audible sobs, uttered the coldest words.

Lin Lu's hand holding the phone fell limply, then clenched it tightly again, as if still hoping to hear a faint echo from it.

If any of you know how to draw with AI, feel free to add your own illustrations to the comments! I might use some of the better ones in my post or as a bonus chapter.

Since you're all joining in the fun, I'll join in too. 50 For the first floor, and it'll end after 100 chapters.

Perhaps we lack Lin Lu's talent and maturity, Song Jiamu's energy and sunshine, Yu Zhile's gentleness and thoughtfulness, and Shen Yu's... Father. We don't have their outstanding looks or privileged family backgrounds (but! We also don't have the perfect girlfriends in the books, haha). But each of us is like a star in the sky, radiating a unique rhythm, falling into the eyes of others.
