Switching from friends to lovers

She said we are good friends, so I resisted the desire to hold her hand. But when she raised her head and looked at me with bright round eyes, I felt that my heart was no longer beating.

Childhood friends to lovers is definitely the sweetest trope. And I'm also curious. How does it feel to grow up and see a handsome face almost everyday?

Please follow the list if you like the novels listed and do tell if you have recommendations.

I like how they take the risk, follow their heart and confess. How the relationship change from friends-ambiguous relationship-lovers.

Hi, do you, by any chance, know the title of the chinese novel where:

-both Fl and Ml are highschool classmates

-Fl is intelligent, grew up in a mountain province with her mom and aunt.

-since she's good at studying, she was transferred to Ml's school

-she has a cold exterior and very focused on studying.

- she became a doctor

-she competed in a televised quiz program

-the Ml liked the fl first and gave his full support both in her studies and career

-the Ml graduated first from HS and the Fl, for some reason, wasn't able to take the entrance exam. Eventually, the Fl got admitted to the same university.

**other scenes I remember:

- the FL receives a crumpled paper which was a confession letter for ML, the teacher caught the Fl with the letter (I think it's included in the story's synopsis -not verbatim)

-when Fl was so young, she picked up a ML's book from a garbage bin. Later on, the Ml discovered the book in Fl's house

-there's an earthquake in Fl's province

-Ml secretly took a picture of Fl when it was the first day of snow

-Ml's parents like the Fl

-in the end, they ended up having a kid

I forgot if I actually had gotten it from your recs. I browsed into your lists but couldn't find it. For some reason, it's not on my list either.

  Hi, right now I dont remember one but I'll check. However, I remember a similar one.
  Monopolize her sweetness / 独占她的甜
  Author：Qin Qi / 覃七
  FL's family turned from rich to poor overnight and she got an accident causing her to have an amnesia. Then ML came in, introducing himself as FL's most trusted secretary, however, he's actually the rival's CEO.

The original title of this book was "One Bird's Sound", but it was renamed "Mornings and Sunsets with You" when it was published.

Qin Shuang and Su Qingyin were childhood sweethearts in the Gaogan compound. The age difference is five years. Qin Shuang is bohemian, Qingyin is charming, willful and lawless.

Su Qingyin has always liked Qin Shuang, but Qin Shuang only treated her as a sister. So, Su Qingyin planned to spend a night with Qin Shuang at her brother Qin Shuang's wedding to make up for the regret of her love. Unexpectedly, the matter was revealed. Su Qingyin and Qin Shuang were forced to get married by the parents of Su and Qin.

So, the curtain of happy enemies began, where you flirted with me and you chased me.

It was only at this time that Qin Shuang discovered that he was deeply in love with this little monster sister Su Qingyin who had been following him..

2.

She had been in love with this man for seven years since she was 15 years old.
He spoiled her to the point of being lawless and doted on her to be delicate and willful.

The bravest thing she ever did was never give up on him.
Like the best thing he ever did was fall in love with her.

The second master had been wild and unrestrained all his life, but his true heart was devoted to her.

She must be cautious, caring and devoted.
She wanted to stand side by side with him and be entangled in the bond.
But where does he need her comparison?

Just standing behind him can protect her from the wind and rain.

Author / 作者 : 锦竹

**Only in this way will she understand. With the person you love, every second counts**

Xin Xiannuan has been secretly in love with Lu Ziang for so many years, but she never dared to say it because he always regarded her as his sister.

When Lu Ziang went abroad, he was exhausted and said to her, "Many years from now, if you are not married and I am not married, how about we get married?"

She just took it as a joke and said casually: "Okay!"

When she was let down by her boyfriend, he returned to China and his first words were, "Nuan, let's get married."

-just 28 chapters

I hate all the shortcomings of my parents, but I'm sorry, I have grown into an adult who is exactly like my parents.

Su Qiqi: I can speak sparrow language when the water hits me.

Liang Shui turned his head to look at her, with a look of "I see what kind of flowers you want to weave".

"The CEO’s Villainess Childhood Friend" is definitely not suitable for this list. After all, he abandon the MC first, and the MC never forgive him so they didn't get together again.

Glass wrappers / 玻璃糖纸
Author：戚拾酒

Shen Youyi has been gifted and intelligent since he was a child, and his scores are far ahead all year round.

But Shen Youyi has been a little "autistic" since he was a child, and he doesn't like to talk to people.
　　
Just after the monthly exam, Shen Xueba's deskmate took a somewhat complicated question and asked him how to write it.

Without raising his head, he replied directly: "No."

But within two minutes, a strange and beautiful girl appeared at the door of the class. She rushed in with a paper in her hands to look for Shen Youyi.

Without a word of pleasantries, the girl came up straight to the point: "This question! How do you write this question!"

Shen You stood up together, gave her the seat, took her paper, and glanced at the question.

He leaned over and said lightly: "There are three solutions to this question, look..."

The deskmate: "...?" Are you polite?

Ome / Little Green Plum / 小青梅
Author：Jiang xiaolu / 江小绿

There is such a person—
from you babbling, to accompanying you to gray hair.

Everyone knows that Li Anran has a gentle temperament, but he treats others indifferently and alienated, like unpicked cotton on a branch, with the hardest core under the soft appearance.

Little did they know, there was a small green plum hidden in there.
Occupied all his softness.

I teach you how to speak.
Teach you to walk.
Teach you to eat with chopsticks.
Teach you to grow up slowly.
Teach you...
to talk about love.
-----My Nian Nian, when I first saw you, my heart was so soft.
