[Dual POV, mutual pining that turns into love, several side couples, sweet romance. The male lead is cunning but devoted; the female lead is a capable top student.]
Also known as A Bite of Green Plum
The ordinary class has two top students everyone knows: Fu Youyou is outgoing and optimistic, while Jiang Shengji is cool and indifferent. They’re evenly matched academically, neither willing to fall behind, and often compete with students from the advanced class for top rankings. Their classmates both resent them and look up to them as examples to follow.
They’re childhood friends, but not close. They’ve always kept their distance, yet one day they suddenly announce that they’re dating?!
It’s actually fake.
The two stand side by side in the hallway, watching the students come and go below. A few others are chatting nearby.
Fu Youyou: “What are you going to do about the rumor?”
Jiang Shengji raises an eyebrow and gives a noncommittal hum. Bending down, he looks at her with amusement. “Why not make it true?”
Fu Youyou: “?…”
The lie comes true, but for some reason, they break up a year later.
During their four years at university, one is abroad and the other is in Linshan, far apart. They may not even see each other once a year, and Fu Youyou’s feelings for Jiang Shengji gradually fade with time.
When they meet again, the man is wearing a black short-sleeved shirt. One hand rests on the table and the other braces against the back of a chair as he leans toward Fu Youyou, seated at the dining table, and looks down at her.
“I can do everything you asked for. How about marrying me?”
Fu Youyou: “???”
Fu Youyou: “…”
Where did he come from?
- You like me, right? I can be good to you too.
- While loving others, don’t forget to love yourself.
- May you always shine brightly, always be a happy, carefree child, living however you please.
