Meeting the Light in Midsummer

Cool, scheming top student × slow-witted, sweet underachiever

[College Campus + Secret Crush Turns Mutual + Sweet Romance + One Another's First]

In high school, underachiever Jiang Yu and top student Jiang Jin had names that made their whole class ship them as “Jin and Yu, a match made in heaven.”

Jiang Jin had transferred from a private high school. He was as exceptional as the moon in the sky, and Jiang Yu didn't dare reach for him, only hiding her unrequited feelings deep inside.

Graduation came, and everyone went their separate ways. Her secret crush at eighteen was destined to go nowhere.

Until, during college, they met again at a concert. The moment the lights came on, Jiang Yu collided with the young man's deep, dark eyes.

In the dim light, Jiang Jin's dark eyes fixed on the girl before him. “Why are you ignoring me, deskmate?”

From then on, the top student pursued her at every turn, openly and unabashedly favoring her.

Jiang Yu fled in a panic. “If you really liked me, we would have gotten together back in high school.”

Jiang Jin chuckled softly, his gaze burning hot.

“Didn't everyone pair us up back in high school?”

The man was even more breathtaking than he had been as a boy. Jiang Yu's long lashes trembled, and she didn't dare look too closely.

But her heart had long since grown sore and heavy.

She'd finally managed to forget her crush after all those years.

Everyone said Jiang Jin was like the bright moon in the distance, only meant to be admired from afar. But only Jiang Jin knew that when he fell into the mud, it was Jiang Yu, a dazzling sun, who warmed him all over.
