The story is not mine. I am translating.
When Chen Yimian accidentally discovered a love letter written by her female classmate to Zhou Yi in Zhou Yi's bag, she thought to herself:
"What kind of blindness does it take to like Zhou Yi?"
Nineteen-year-old Chen Yimian trembled as she sent her confession message, realizing that people would eventually see through Zhou Yi's supposed cuteness and handsomeness.
Chen Yimian never thought that being the school idol would make her childhood friend Zhou Yi so extraordinary. After all, their daily interactions went like this:
Chen Yimian: "Zhou Yi, help me out. I dozed off during class. Can I borrow your English notes?"
Zhou Yi threw a notebook at her, hitting her head, and coldly asked, "When are you not dozing off?"
Chen Yimian: "I'm so hungry. I'll go buy something to eat. If the teacher asks, cover for me during self-study."
When the teacher asked Zhou Yi where Chen Yimian had gone, Zhou Yi calmly lied, "She has diarrhea."
When the teacher asked why Chen Yimian hadn't returned yet, Zhou Yi hesitated for a moment and replied, unfazed, "She's really good at having diarrhea."
But Zhou Yi also had moments when he acted differently.
Chen Yimian: "Wuwuwuwu, I've liked him for so long, and I made dolls for so long. He doesn't want them, but why did he throw them in the trash?"
She expected Zhou Yi to mock her and say, "It's just that your eyes are blind, and your judgment of people is terribly poor."
But Zhou Yi only squatted in front of her, wiped away her tears, and murmured softly, "Then make a doll for me, and I'll frame it by my bedside."
Chen Yimian: "...?"
She thought that after she had an awakening, she had worked hard to pursue Zhou Yi, and only after they got together did she realize that Zhou Yi had a whole photo album dedicated to just the two of them.
She finally understood that the person who liked her the most had always been right in front of her.
She was completely unaware.
