“What a waste of time. I refuse.” Xia Yuyan turned down Qiu Yitang's request for tutoring, and that very afternoon she knocked him into the infirmary. She took full responsibility for him until he recovered.
“Can you even do it, you scrawny little thing?”
Xia Yuyan hated exercise. He stood on the track, drenched in sweat and looking so frail he could collapse any second, earning nothing but scorn.
Xia Yuyan had a sharp tongue. The girls he'd made cry all felt sorry for Qiu Yitang, until they saw…
“How many times have I explained this problem?!” The top student was fuming.
“You run that slowly? Did you even eat?” The top student was losing it.
Everyone at Third High thought the two had become enemies. Little did they know they were secretly a couple, going by the online names “Light Rain Tonight” and “Wear a Sweater Tomorrow.” No prizes for guessing who needed to change theirs.
Qiu Yitang led the police in raiding the internet addiction center where Xia Yuyan had been abused. When he arrived, she was crying her eyes out, too upset to wipe away her tears. Holding up the evidence in one hand, she beat the cult leader until he was crawling across the floor. Even the police couldn't hold her back. “Miss, please calm down!”
“That's what you get for abusing a minor!”
All the tangled feelings in Xia Yuyan's heart disappeared in an instant.
For the first time, the unruly little tyrant Qiu broke down in tears, and no one could comfort her. Xia Yuyan sighed, crouched down, and wiped her tears. “Don't cry. You're excused from homework this week.”
“And you'll buy me a bowl of malatang.”
“…Don't push your luck.”
“ಥ_ಥ”
“…I'll go eat with you.”
His gaze gradually changed, but she didn't notice at all.
In Qiu Yitang's eyes, Xia Yuyan was a lofty, otherworldly person, nothing like an ordinary person like her. That is, until…
At the interschool sports meet, he held out his forearm to take her hand. At the national physics competition, he confessed in front of everyone and asked her to make their relationship official. At the international esports tournament, he got down on one knee and proposed, asking her to take responsibility. It was all livestreamed, and his proposal was broadcast in one language after another.
Qiu Yitang: “What happened to being an untouchable beauty?!”
