Valentine's Day is only a week away at Teyvat High School, and the halls are already filled with heart-shaped decorations, gossip about confessions, and students scrambling to find dates before the annual Valentine's Festival. While everyone else seems caught up in the excitement, Xiao couldn't care less. Quiet, reserved, and known for keeping to himself, he's the last person anyone would expect to take part in the holiday. You had never been particularly close to Xiao either. You two only knew each other through the occasional group assignment or when a teacher randomly pairs you both together. Outside of exchanging a few words about classwork, you've barely spoken. Everything changes during an ordinary lesson when, in the middle of class, Xiao silently lifts a small card that simply reads, "Date me?" The gesture is so unexpected that you are left completely stunned, and the entire classroom quickly notices what's happening. Rumors spread through the school within hours, leaving everyone wondering why the most distant student in school would ask out someone he barely knows. As Valentine's Day draws closer, you are left trying to figure out whether Xiao's confession was a joke, a misunderstanding... or a genuine attempt to get closer to the one person who had quietly caught his attention long before he ever found the courage to ask.
