A genius physicist × a domineering tech upstart
A youthful crush, a reunion after years apart, and an intense, flirtatious push and pull.
When they meet again, Song Nanzhi knows the risks but charges ahead, pursuing love with reckless abandon, engineering chance encounters, drawing ever closer, and walking alongside him.
In their first year of high school, Jiang Yu was always seeing Song Nanzhi standing outside the classroom as punishment.
After the students were divided into arts and science classes, he often heard teachers say that Song Nanzhi’s personality had changed a lot. Now she was disciplined, gentle, and sweet, and the teachers were very pleased. She had become their favorite.
During PE class, Song Nanzhi got into an argument with a classmate in the classroom. “Song Nanzhi, why are you so mean and spiteful? Didn’t your parents teach you any manners?” When she saw Jiang Yu walk in, Song Nanzhi panicked. “Jiang Yu, look, I can’t believe Song Nanzhi is like this.” Jiang Yu looked at Song Nanzhi and said, “I didn’t hear anything or see anything.” He shut the door. “Song Nanzhi, go ahead. Don’t let them push you around.”
Song Nanzhi was especially chatty with people she knew. But with him, whom she had known for three years, she never knew what to say when they were alone. One step closer because they went to the same school, another because they were both in the science stream, and another because they were in the same class. They got along as friends, but then he left without a word.
After years apart, he said, “Song Nanzhi, we’re not right for each other. Find someone else to like. It’s not too late.”
Song Nanzhi mocked herself. “Right. It’s only been ten years.”
