Giving It to Him in Midsummer

[Sensitive girl vs. top student boy]

1. After the high school entrance exams, Sheng Xia is followed through an alley and nearly sexually assaulted. Just then, a boy appears and saves her.

Everything happens so suddenly that Sheng Xia passes out before she can ask his name. When she wakes up, her savior is gone.

All she remembers is the scent of dark aloeswood on him.

When they meet again, her lifesaver is the admired golden boy of the school.

To him, she is just a classmate whose name he does not even know.

She thinks their paths will never cross again, but Shen Guangnian takes the initiative and starts helping her with her studies.

2. In their second year of high school, the students are divided into humanities and science tracks. Sheng Xia and Shen Guangnian end up in different tracks.

On the day the classes are assigned, Sheng Xia listens to the homeroom teacher announce the list, her eyes bright with delight.

But her deskmate has his head on the desk, stabbing at it with a pen to vent his frustration.

Looking at the excited girl beside him, Shen Guangnian tugs at her sleeve and says fiercely, “When you go to your new class, don’t you dare forget me, and don’t talk to other boys. Got it?”

The girl sees that the boy’s eyes are red and thinks, “No way. We’re just being put in different classes. Is he actually crying?”

“Okay, I know. I promise I won’t forget you. Besides, our classes are just one floor apart. It’s not like we’re never going to see each other again. Don’t cry, okay?”

Only after the girl promises again and again, and agrees to write him a letter every day, does he finally let her move to her new class.
