Wait, You’re Saying We Weren’t Dating?

After a love that fizzled out before it could begin, Li Yueyu had long since given up on romance. He wanted no more of the excitement and hurt that came with love. By a twist of fate, after transferring to a new school, he met a very unusual class monitor. “Hey, new kid, do you have a crush on me?” “Hey, Li Yueyu, are you useless or what?” “Why didn’t you tell me back then?” Just when Li Yueyu thought they would only ever be ordinary friends, Shen Yihuan became the first person in his seventeen years to celebrate his birthday with him. From then on, he accepted her title of “best friend.” Later, Li Yueyu thought they would go their separate ways after the college entrance exams. So he decided to take her to a fireworks festival in Japan to wish her a happy eighteenth birthday. After the exams, he wrote a novel to commemorate what they had shared. Beneath the dazzling fireworks, the sky burst into brilliant color. Shen Yihuan smiled and asked him, “With all this, it’d be hard to explain if you weren’t confessing to me.” “You really are an idiot. If I didn’t like you, why would I agree to date you in a novel?” The girl looked at the boy who had celebrated her birthday, her eyes red with tears. “Li Yueyu, do you know? When the fireworks went up, I really thought we were going to be together.” “But it’s okay. This time, I’ll make the first move.”
