At the time, she had yet to understand the meaning of boyfriend. She looked at her friend with confusion and blinked innocently before asking, “What is a boyfriend?”

Her friend was made speechless by her innocence. Taking up the role as her teacher, she started lecturing Su Yiting on the topic of love and hate.

The more her friend explained, the more confused Su Yiting became. Her friend, who eventually got tired of talking, pulled out several actually good romance novels from her bag and passed them to Su Yiting. In a tone that sounded like a wuxia master talking to her disciple, she said, “After you finish these few books, you’ll understand everything.”

So magical? Su Yiting stared at the stack of books curiously before thanking her friend and accepting them.

After she got home and finished her homework, she was reminded of the books that her friend had given her. She selected a random title and started to read. When she started the first page, she couldn’t stop, and she read through the night. The next day, Su Yiting was practically half-asleep in class. She was caught sleeping by her teacher, who punished her by having her stand for ten minutes straight.

Su Yiting used one week to finish the first novel, and another five days to finish another… Just like that, Su Yiting was pulled into the world of web novels by her friend. Regardless of whether it was a digital book or a physical book, she was a fan.

It was common for girls to dream, to dream up a romantic up, a prince on a white horse. With the influence of the web novels, the dream only became more pronounced in Su Yiting’s mind.

She started to imagine the type of man she would fall in love with and the kind of love story they would make. Su Yiting submerged herself in her dream for as long as a year, and when she was in the third year of high school, Su Yiting finally found the man of her dream.

That year, her rumored boyfriend, Lu Qiaochen, had moved up to senior school, and they were separated into different schools once more.

That year, her first period came, and even her chest started to swell like balloons.

When there was still a month to her midterms, she met Liang Yang, who wore a white shirt at an activity organized by the school. The young man was fresh and clean.

It was Liang Yang who pursued Su Yiting.

It all started with a love letter written on a blue stationery set. Liang Yang’s handwriting was like its owner, nice to the eyes, and his words were poetic.

Su Yiting instantly fell from this first assault. Her young girl’s heart flooded with love, and after a night’s hesitation, she decided to reply with a letter of her own, promising to be his girlfriend.

Before the letter was even written, Su Yiting started to imagine the type of love story she would share with Liang Yang.

Eloping because their parents barred them from being together… the tragedy of a fatal illness…

In any case, she imagined the type of plot she read in the web novels happening to herself and Liang Yang.

Naturally, Su Yiting became a pair with Liang Yang.

They would secretly get together at the small garden behind the school after class. Every time, Liang Yang would give her cute little snacks. They weren’t as delicious as the important snacks Lu Qiaochen once shared with her, but in Su Yiting’s eyes, the snacks from Liang Yang looked like roses, each more beautiful than the last.

…

Lu Qiaochen found out Su Yiting was in a relationship with Liang Yang three days after they became official.
