Su Wan's Secret Love (Oneshot)

Part 1

On a weekend night in junior year.

Su Wan finally could not hold the throbbing in her heart in anymore. She confessed to him over the phone. She said, "I-I-I..."

On the other end, no one uttered a word.

Su Wan finally squeezed out the syllables on her tongue, "I like you." When she finished, however, she seemed like the one who was being confessed to. Her eyes were open wide with a bashful red face, but she could not hear anything from the other end. She clumsily hung up and then glared at the phone as she panted like she was about to die.

She had finally said it.

She had confessed to Li Chengran, the person she had had a crush on for three years.

Su Wan tugged at her hair, as she gritted her teeth, "Why did I hang up? Why did I hang up? Oh oh, I'm such an idiot!" Hadn't she... not heard his reply yet. She had even summoned all of her courage and made that first step, but how come she had not continued? She was just like a soldier going to war, who put a bomb there and ran away, abandoning his helmet and shield...

What was she doing?!

Su Wan tossed and turned restlessly in bed. The next day, she went to class with black circles under her eyes.

She and Li Chengran went the same way to school. About a hundred meters from the school, Su Wan saw Li Chengran. He was buying a bun from a breakfast shop. Su Wan's head that had drooped for the entire night suddenly became energized, but her body felt almost locked to the ground- unable to move.

But when all was said and done... he was still her classmate, so she would have to see him eventually.

Su Wan told her best friend, Wang Xin about her love confession. Wang Xin looked at her with shock and exclaimed, "Are you crazy?! We're in junior year!"

Su Wan also felt a bit guilty and said, "I just couldn't restrain myself. Say... say, if I were to rile up his emotions and disrupt his studying, what shall I do..."

Wang Xin looked at Li Chengran in front of her, who was memorizing words. Su Wan also tilted her head and looked over. Then, she felt a bit wronged, "But it seems... I haven't influenced his feelings."

Wang Xin patted her chest, "After class, I'll go help you ask about the result."

When she asked, Li Chengran said, "It's too difficult for me to answer you during school. I'll call her at night."

Su Wan heard this and felt excited yet nervous, "He said he would call me? Really? When?"

"Since you're this anxious, you might as well go ask him right now."

"..." Su Wan lowered her head, "Last night, I hung up the phone like a failure. Where am I going to get the guts to ask him to his face..." After she thought about it, she grabbed her pen and jabbed it into her homework book, "Actually, maybe I can imagine he will reject me." After all, she wasn't very pretty, her grades weren't that good, and with junior year pressing, who would accept a love confession?"

Wang Xin patted her back and did not speak.

That night, Su Wan did her homework listlessly. Then, she hugged her cell phone and turned around on the bed. 10:00, no call. 11:00, no call. 1:00 am, no call. Until 3...

Still no call.

Su Wan felt Li Chengran probably wouldn't call her.

But she still didn't give up, as she charged her phone and kept turning it on to check.

How come he didn't call her? Didn't he say he would call her? Didn't he say he would reply to her...?

Su Wan felt too wronged, and thus, with swollen eyes she went to class again.
