Against All Odds, My Heart Skips a Beat

This blurb is so good that the actual story is rather weak. The blurb and the story might not quite match, but I hope you'll still give it a read. Fu Jinyan's entire youth was quietly filled with Xia Xingmian. He was the aloof, unapproachable boy everyone admired at school, taciturn and cold, keeping everyone at arm's length. They all thought he was indifferent by nature and would never stop for anyone. Only he knew that from the first moment he saw Xia Xingmian smiling brightly, his heart had never strayed from her. His eyes followed her in class; after school, he deliberately slowed his steps to walk behind her. He silently shielded her from tedious flirtations and teasing, hiding all his subtle tenderness and restrained longing beneath a cold exterior. He carefully kept his love for her secret throughout his youth. He did not dare confess or disturb her, and could only watch from afar as she shone with life and laughter, surrounded by her own little world.
