Unrequited Love Is a Labyrinth

Unrequited Love Is a Labyrinth Plot:

Lin Xiaoman, a library administrator, has secretly loved Chen Mo, a brilliant law student, for three years. She quietly reserves *Quantum Mechanics* for him whenever he borrows it and leaves warm honey water when he pulls all-nighters writing papers—yet she hides her feelings because Chen Mo always says, "Love is more trouble than academic research." Until a rainy night before graduation, Xiaoman’s secret love diary is found by Chen Mo. Hiding behind a bookshelf, she hears him flipping through the pages and discovers his notebook has a photo of her profile under the cherry blossom tree from last year. It turns out she was never alone in this labyrinth; both were afraid that "speaking out" would break their original tacit understanding.
