You Caught My Attention / You Got My Attention 你引起了我的注意 by 叶斐然 Ye Fei Ran (HE)

Tan Yin’s luck had taken a dire turn recently. Not only had she severely offended Chu Hang, the heartthrob of the architecture department, who had just returned from a short-term exchange programme abroad, but she also got struck by lightning while walking in a thunderstorm! Somehow, instead of killing her, it gave her a new, strange ability: invisibility.

As the chosen one anointed by lightning, Tan Yin was ready to take on a huge task. Her plan was to make the most of the next thunderstorm to quietly destroy the incriminating evidence that Chu Hang held against her.

However, things didn’t go as planned.

When she stealthily approached Chu Hang as he took a shower, she saw him holding the incriminating evidence, staring at it coldly. It was a comic book that had recently taken the entire school by storm. In it, Chu Hang, as the male lead, embarked on romantic affairs, one after another.

Unfortunately…

They were all with men, and he was the submissive one.

Just as Tan Yin was about to steal back the comic from Chu Hang in the shower, the rain stopped, and her invisibility wore off…

Tan Yin stuttered an explanation, “Chu Hang, I…I can explain, It’s all a misunderstanding.”

Chu Hang, his face devoid of expression, said, “A misunderstanding? I don’t think so. The comic is well-drawn, full of variety, and undeniably stimulating. And now, you want to sneak a peek at me in the shower? Will you leave on your own, or do you prefer I escort you out?”

Tan Yin felt like crying but no tears came. She had pursued Chu Hang for half a year without so much as a glance from him, and now, through the worst possible fiasco, she had finally caught his attention.

Many days later…

Tan Yin pleaded, “I really made it all up in my head, you have to believe me…”

Chu Hang, holding the comic up, replied, “Oh, if you want to draw even better, imagination alone won’t suffice. You must also practice each scenario in reality.”

There are some secret loves that are not secret. Except for Tan Yin, everyone was aware that she likes Chu Hang, her classmate from the Department of Architecture.

For Chu Hang, she wrote love letters, drew comics, and even got struck by lightning on a stormy day, but the affection she gave was like a pebble thrown into a lake, and she never got a response.

Just when she decided to give up, the school organized a tutoring group, and Chu Hang and Tan Yin were assigned together. Their stories quietly changed from two parallel lines to become one track. Chu Hang told Tan Yin : “I like you.

“Like you so much that it totally goes against my usual code of conduct.

“Like you so much that as long as I can be with you, everything else doesn’t matter, I don’t care.

“I also don’t want to be like this, but I can’t help it. I just like you so much.”

Turns out that from the beginning, there were clues everywhere. You are like the blossoming flower that appeared at my feet during my youth, the white dove waiting at dawn. From then on, mountains and rivers are far away, and dust is everywhere. I came onlyfor you, to be your dewdrops and help you return home.
