      Secret Crush C11

      Secret Crush C11 Cover
      by MarineTL — Interrogation Driven by the doubts that had long festered in her heart, An Ruxin finally slipped Chen Anran’s diary into her handbag, left the bedroom, and forced herself to bid farewell to Aunt Chen with a faƧade of calm. She had no idea how she managed to walk out the door. Once outside, the apartment across the hall should be the one where Bai Miaoqing had lived with her parents as a child. With Bai Miaoqing’s home before her and Chen Anran’s home behind, An Ruxin stood in the hallway as if…

      Secret Crush C01

      Secret Crush C01 Cover
      by MarineTL — Chance Encounter An Ruxin hadn’t yet had time to change out of the business attire her company required. Step by step, she made her way to the convenience store. Her brows, eyes, and lips were all delicate—willow-leaf brows, long phoenix eyes, thin lips. Her skin was utterly devoid of color, pale as white paper. These features combined to form a face that could be called refined, but for some reason, people’s first impression of her was always the same: like seeing a glass of plain water. And…

      Secret Crush C12 Cover
      by MarineTL — Memory ā€œThe day Chen Anran died, there were no ghosts at the reservoir.ā€ Bai Miaoqing couldn’t understand what An Ruxin meant. There were ghosts. She wasn’t lying. There were ghosts. Ghosts are real. ā€œā€¦Then it’s just a made-up story that happened to match reality.ā€ Bai Miaoqing heard her own voice. An Ruxin seemed to scoff coldly: ā€œā€¦Don’t you think that sounds ridiculous?ā€ ā€œGhosts are real.ā€ Bai Miaoqing realized An Ruxin doubted her because she hadn’t yet understood…

      Secret Crush C02 Cover
      by MarineTL — Shocking Change How long had it been since she last thought about those past events? An Ruxin asked herself. Back in high school, they didn't separate students into different classes. Before the start of the first year, An Ruxin had advanced into the so-called "Rocket Class," and from then on, she had been one of the mediocre students among the elite. When they split into arts and sciences tracks, like most of her classmates, she chose science and continued on with the same group all the way through to…

      Secret Crush C13 Cover
      by MarineTL — Wavering An Ruxin listened to Bai Miaoqing recount the entire story with an almost expressionless, numb face. Bai Miaoqing took a deep breath and looked at her seriously. ā€œThe ghost is real. That part is the truth. I said Chen Anran’s wish came true because, when I was a freshman in high school, there was a boy in her middle school class who was close to her. He drowned while swimming in a wild river. That boy must have been the one Chen Anran liked… If you don’t believe me, the newspaper…

      Secret Crush C03 Cover
      by MarineTL — Photos An Ruxin gave a full-body shiver, and for a moment, everything else was forgotten. She instinctively rushed back to the door and banged on it hard, gripping the handle as she shouted, ā€œBai Miaoqing?! Bai Miaoqing! Are you okay?! What hapā€”ā€ Her voice cut off. Her hand had gripped the doorknob out of instinct, but the knob… turned easily in her grasp. The door creaked open a sliver. …Why? Just now, when that woman entered, she was sure—no, absolutely sure—she had heard the distinct…

      Secret Crush C14 Cover
      by MarineTL — Dilemma A classroom… submerged in the dark green water… Floating hair… the back of a girl… She turned around. It was Chen Anran’s face. She smiled at An Ruxin—a sweet, gentle smile. And for the first time, An Ruxin didn't hear her through a recording. She truly heard Chen Anran’s voice: ā€œYou’ve missed me all this time, haven’t you?ā€ ā€œW-Whatā€¦ā€ ā€œI’ve missed you tooā€¦ā€ ā€œā€¦ā€¦ā€ ā€œI’m already dead, so even though we miss each other, we can never be…

      Secret Crush C04 Cover
      by MarineTL — News ā€œRuxin?ā€ Bai Miaoqing had somehow silently emerged from the bedroom and was now standing at the door. She suddenly called out. An Ruxin instinctively stuffed the stack of photos into her handbag, stood up, and said as if nothing had happened, ā€œSee, it’s fine now… that… thing, it’s already gone.ā€ Bai Miaoqing seemed to stop trembling as well. She clutched tightly at the large bag she had just packed, speaking softly, ā€œBut… I’m still scared… I don’t want to stay here…
