It was a rainy day, and after school, most of my classmates had left, leaving only a few people in the classroom. Without an umbrella, I could only wait for the rain to stop while stubbornly tackling a math problem. I was so engrossed in solving it that I didn't notice I was the only one left in the empty classroom, while Jiang Muyu had been standing behind me for quite some time.
Until he embraced me from behind, his warm breath tickling my ear.
I pouted, "I just can't figure out this problem."
His deep voice carried a hint of temptation as he said, "Then let's do something else and come back to it later."
Before I could respond, he sat beside me, cupped my face, and kissed me.
His lips were sweet and soft, making it easy to kiss him.
Though he lacked technique, his teeth bumped against my lips painfully.
We kissed for a long time until I was breathless; I gently punched his chest a few times before he finally let me go.
Looking at my bright red lips, he smiled contentedly.
I said with a mix of embarrassment and annoyance, "You need to practice your kissing skills; my lips are sore!"
Jiang Muyu reached out to ruffle my hair, smiling as he leaned closer to my face and gently blew on my lips.
Damn! He really knows how to charm me more and more!

Originally, I planned to tell my best friend and Su Yi about our relationship during dinner on the weekend.
But plans changed unexpectedly.
On Friday afternoon, Jiang Muyu accompanied me to the library to return some books.
As we exited the reading room, Jiang Muyu pulled me without hesitation to a small corner at the end of the hallway.
Before I could react, his kisses fell densely on my lips. I wrapped my arms around his neck and closed my eyes shyly in response.
I completely failed to notice that about three meters away, two people stood with their arms crossed over their chests, tilting their heads as they observed us curiously.
"Don't you think those two look really familiar?" Su Yi asked curiously, looking at Zhao Mingzhu.
Zhao Mingzhu nodded repeatedly, "Yeah, yeah! That girl looks just like my best friend!"
They thought they were being quiet, but the library was nearly empty at that moment, so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
I heard their voices and was startled, abruptly pushing Jiang Muyu away and locking eyes with my curious best friend.
When she realized it was really me, the book in her hands fell to the ground with a loud thud.
Su Yi looked confused and trembled as he pointed at Jiang Muyu, his voice shaking, "Wait, dude, you... you guys..."
It seemed they were about to leave, maintaining a subtle distance between them; they were close but not holding hands.
The kiss had been interrupted, and Jiang Muyu turned his head, casting a displeased glance in their direction.
There was still a hint of my light red lip gloss on his lips.
Well, all the carefully prepared words of confession I had planned for days were now useless.
I would just have to prove it to them with facts.
Later on, no matter how much I tried to explain, my best friend kept pulling me aside to ask when we had gotten together and if we had been secretly dating for a long time.
I sighed helplessly, "Sweetheart, not everyone can be like you, holding back feelings and being ambiguous for half a year."
I'm the type who can't hide things well, and it just so happens that Jiang Muyu is too.
If you can't hide your feelings, then just say them boldly.
My best friend hesitated again, looking at me anxiously, "So do you think he really likes me?"
I patiently answered her over and over again, "Of course he likes you! He has to like you! If he didn't like you, would he play badminton with you every day? If he didn't like you, would he spend the whole weekend shopping and dating with you? When you're in piano class, does he sit outside doing homework?"
For a while, I even had to let Jiang Muyu drag Su Yi along just so I could steal some time alone with Zhao Mingzhu.
"So are we considered together now?"
I replied, "You can't hold hands or kiss if you're not together!"
This strategist was almost ready to take action himself.
No wait, I already took action and successfully captured the opposing strategist.
This summer vacation, the four of us planned to go to the beach together.
Jiang Muyu mysteriously told me that Su Yi was stimulated and planned to make a grand confession, asking me to help stall Zhao Mingzhu.
I had no choice but to sit with my best friend on the lounge chairs under the seaside corridor, flipping through Jiang Muyu's photo album. I rarely looked at his phone; he always asked me why I didn't check it like other couples did, wondering if I didn't love him. Occasionally, I felt curious, like now.
As I flipped through his album, I noticed that ever since we started dating, almost all the photos were of me or the two of us together. There were pictures of us watching movies, studying in the library, and walking to school together under the morning sun.
Suddenly, I came across an old photo from when we first entered high school during military training. I was sitting under a tree, resting with my hands on my face and my eyes closed.
What a kid; he had been thinking about me for so long.
I looked over at Jiang Muyu, who was happily waving at me, signaling that we could go over now.
I walked over with my best friend and found that they had arranged two large heart shapes made of roses by the seaside. I pushed my best friend forward; Su Yi was holding roses and kneeling on one knee, making it look like a proposal.
"Zhu Zhu, I've liked you for a long time, even longer than you can imagine. Will you be my girlfriend?"
My best friend was so slow that it wasn't until I nudged her that she stepped forward to take the roses and pulled Su Yi up.
"I do!" she shouted loudly towards the sea. Then she quickly kissed Su Yi.
This girl has made progress.
Watching them walk away, I turned to Jiang Muyu, who was holding my hand tightly: "Why do you have that photo of me sitting under the tree during military training in our first year?"
He chuckled lightly and confidently replied, "You found out! That's right; I've liked you since then."
No wonder he cared so much about his brother's matters; he had been deliberately getting close to me.
"What's wrong? Don't you like me anymore?" Jiang Muyu suddenly asked with a hint of grievance.
I stood on my tiptoes, held his face in my hands, and kissed his soft, fragrant lips.
Let me show you through my actions just how much I like you…
