[Childhood sweetheart vs. newcomer]
Cheng Yu is a famously cool beauty at Mingde High School. At school, she only ever gets close to her childhood friend, Liang Sichen. Rumor has it that all the top students and heartthrob boys have fallen at her feet, and everyone wonders who will eventually win this little enchantress.
When everyone learns the truth, they’re stunned: it’s unexpected, yet somehow just what you’d expect.
In other people’s eyes, she is a pampered white gardenia, but Liang Sichen sees the little thorns she can’t hide. Cheng Yu has never been some delicate little flower. She is a wild rose growing freely in the wilderness.
Whenever people ask what their relationship is, they both smile and answer, “Friends.” Then, somehow, that “friendship” takes on a different meaning. Liang Sichen can no longer stand it. He pulls her into his arms and demands in a low voice, “Cheng Yu, what exactly are we to each other?” The girl remains cool and indifferent. “Friends.”
Liang Sichen laughs in exasperation. “You forgot what happened last night already? I’ll give you one chance to answer again.”
Only Liang Sichen knows what kind of cold heart lies beneath his childhood friend’s cool, elegant exterior. And only he knows how irresistibly alluring she is beneath all those rose thorns.
