Strawberry Girl
Romance, School & Youth
Chapter: 190
Lemon is the sunshine of the school—cheerful, lively, and irresistibly sweet, like honey. Her smile is so bright it makes people want to be close to her. Lucien, on the other hand, is a cold and distant academic genius. He excels in everything, is stunningly handsome, but always remains indifferent to those around him.
One day, Lemon, rushing because she was late, accidentally bumps into Lucien as he's walking out of the library. Her strawberry milkshake spills all over him—especially on his crisp white shirt. From that moment on, Lucien remembers her.
Lemon isn’t discouraged by his cold demeanor. Instead, she often initiates conversations, hands him strawberry-flavored candies, and even teases him:
“Lucien, you’re so boring. Maybe you should eat something sweet so you’ll be sweeter too?”
At first, Lucien doesn’t care much for her antics. But slowly, he realizes he’s gotten used to her presence. After school, he always sees her cheerfully buying strawberry milk tea near the school gates. Before every exam, she sneakily hands him a strawberry gummy and calls it a “lucky charm for straight-A students.”
He starts to notice strawberry candies showing up in his bag, and his daily life begins to subtly fill with her scent—sweet but not overwhelming, drawing him in without him even realizing.
One day, Lemon doesn’t come to school because she’s sick. As Lucien stares at her empty seat, he finds himself strangely unsettled. After class, he does something unexpected—he walks into her favorite milk tea shop and orders a strawberry milkshake, trying her favorite flavor for the first time.
And he realizes—her smile is still sweeter.
Lemon’s love is open and bold. She never hides how she feels. Lucien, slow to warm up, is gradually changed by her—until eventually, he completely falls into this “strawberry-scented crush.”
One breezy evening, Lucien finally works up the courage to stop her outside the school building. He gently places a strawberry candy in her hand and says softly:
“You’ve been giving me strawberry candy every day. Today, let me give you one.”
Lemon looks at him in surprise, then breaks into a radiant smile.
“So, Lucien… does that mean you like strawberry too?”
The boy lowers his gaze, ears slightly red, and replies gently but firmly:
“It’s not strawberry I like. It’s you.”
From that day on, Lucien was no longer the cold academic ace. His world became warmer and sweeter, filled with Lemon. And Lemon finally became Lucien’s very own “Strawberry Girl.”
