Chapter 26 - Chapter 26: The Secret

Don't say Dong Miaomiao didn't show any intention of being angry. Even if she really had been angry, could any girl continue being angry under these circumstances?

The entire venue erupted with screams, whistles, and thunderous applause. Moved to tears by the cheering, Dong Miaomiao cried, while she smiled, thinking this was the most perfect happiness she had ever seen.

She silently said in her heart, "Senior Brother Ning, Dong Miaomiao, you must continue to be happy!"

She would continue to secretly admire him, silently recording her feelings in her diary. That was enough. She didn't need him to recognize her, much less know her secret. She thought, years later, when she was married and old, would revisiting these youthful stories and recalling this silly crush bring a warm smile to her face?

However, she hadn't anticipated that one day her secret would be revealed.

One night, after studying late at the library, she returned to the dorm only to find her roommates looking at her and laughing. Confused by their laughter, it wasn't until someone said, "Liu Zheng, no wonder you turn down so many suitors, you actually like Ning Zhiqian!"

Her mind exploded, her face turned beet red, and she realized she had forgotten to lock her diary, which had been tampered with.

"Ah, Liu Zheng, it's a pity. If it were someone else, you could still try, but with Ning Zhiqian, forget it. Everyone knows about his fairy tale love with Dong Miaomiao. I heard they're even meeting the parents soon."

"That's not necessarily true! Our Liu Zheng isn't bad either! How can you know it won't work if you don't try?"

"Exactly, Liu Zheng, go confess! Do you want us to help you?"

She was prepared to be mocked by them. As long as they didn't expose her secret, she could endure whatever mocking they dished out. But hearing that last sentence, she panicked and clutched her diary, "You wouldn't dare!"

Perhaps because her demeanor was so fierce, they really didn't dare say any more, muttering resentfully and then dropping the subject.

By then it was her junior year. She considered herself easy to get along with. The reason she had conflicts with her roommates was purely because of romantic entanglements; her roommates' crushes were hopelessly in love with her. As for those suitors, she naturally rejected them, which offended her roommates.

She didn't dwell on it, focusing instead on her studies and applying to study abroad.

However, one day while heading to the laboratory, with her roommates walking behind her, he and Dong Miaomiao approached from the opposite direction.

Seeing him, every moment shone brilliantly.

The sunlight fell crisply and refreshingly, sparkling in their hair tips. The red-brick ground and the poplars in the campus shone translucently from the light.

Her heart pounded chaotically, but a gentle smile appeared on her face.

She knew it was just another brush past. Her campus life became beautiful because of these fleeting encounters.

But she hadn't expected that this encounter would turn her life upside down.

Unprepared, someone pushed her in front of him.

She had never been so close to him, close enough to see the threads on his shirt buttons.

Then laughter erupted behind her, and someone loudly said, "Senior Brother Ning! Her name is Liu Zheng! She likes you a lot! Really likes you!"

At that moment, she wished she could die, her face flushed and tears swirled in her eyes.

She liked him, but she had never intended to disrupt his life. She had hoped to graduate quietly with her secret. Now exposed under the sunlight, she felt embarrassed and feared that the two before her would misunderstand.
