Green Plum

A group portrait of high school life, a two-way secret crush. A bright and sweet girl vs. a cold and arrogant boy.

After transferring schools, Yun Mi moves into the home of her parents' friends. In the summer of the mountain city, Chen Yiyang descends the stairs behind the arched door. Born into a prestigious family, he is handsome and wild, and it's said he once spurned a friend's sincere girlish heart.

Yun Mi, dragging her slippers and hugging her schoolbag, ignores the bitter feeling in her heart and mutters, "Jerk."

The boy leans against the handrail, acting carefree. His eyelids droop as he reaches out and grabs her.

He leans in fiercely, "Then—"

"Give back the jerk's tutoring notes, wrong question book, competition books, keychains, plushies, game console, computer, VCD, and the 8888 I transferred last night."

"..."

Yun Mi has a crush on a somewhat annoying guy—her foster brother. She tries to write a melancholic poem: "Secret crush is so bitter." The next day, because of Chen Yiyang's spoiled temper, she harshly crosses it out and changes it to: "Jerk, drop dead!!!"

But the day before they part, he is covered in blood, standing in the dark sky, shielding her from the falling rubble of an earthquake. He holds her face, and she cries, "Chen Yiyang, don't die."

Everyone knows Yun Mi hates Chen Yiyang, but only Chen Yiyang knows she likes him. After he leaves the mountain city, she receives a report card signed in his name.

On the back is a taunting confession letter:

"Coward, do you dare to get into the same university as me?"

After the college entrance exam, Chen Yiyang receives a reply. It's the same acceptance letter as his, plus a bold, beautiful message with a little rabbit face drawn of XoX, and a note:

"I'll reluctantly agree, you big idiot."

A pure love story of two blatant secret crushes—two hidden cowards who both know.

The male lead gave up his recommendation and entered the International Relations program; the female lead, after an injury from fencing, became a regular academic student and later a researcher of Northwestern geology. Diplomat vs. National Defense Science.

Probably a motivational study story, haha.

One-line summary: How could I possibly have a crush—on him!!!
