Eaves Hindering The Moon 屋檐绊月 by 阿司匹林 A Si Pi Lin (Aspirin)

The Cheng family sponsors a poor student named Qing Hang.

When Qing Hang first met Cheng Wan Yue, she mocked him mercilessly. He should have hated her, but later, he found himself feeling jealous and angry whenever she spoke to other male classmates. And yet, he also secretly hoped she would comfort him.

She was indeed good at soothing men, luring him into the same trap over and over again.

“Qing Hang, do you like me? You have to say you like me before you can kiss me.”

“I like you. I really like you.”

On a stormy night, Qing Hang was startled awake by thunder. The beautiful dream ended abruptly, and as he reached out to find an empty space beside him, he realized that had been a long time ago.

…

“Every second I fantasized about having you, I felt like a drop of rain hanging from the eaves—pulled down by gravity, yet unwilling to fall.”

...
