[Quirky, sweet-hearted girl x aloof, roguish rich boy; secret crush + sweet romance + healing + both pure]
*
In her senior year of high school, Lin Yuxing is forced to transfer schools because of her family circumstances.
By a twist of fate, she ends up sharing a desk with Chi Yan.
The boy is aloof and cold, always wearing the same indifferent expression around everyone.
Lin Yuxing hands him a tube of ointment. “Put some medicine on it first.”
The boy raises an eyebrow, looking intrigued. “Is this for me?”
“Who else, the dog?”
“Woof, woof, woof.”
“…”
Lin Yuxing has seen the boy’s sharp tongue, and she has seen the broken fragments in his dark eyes, laid bare by his troubled past.
It seems she’s accidentally fallen for someone.
Chi Yan isn’t the terrible person their classmates make him out to be. In fact, he helps friends and classmates who are being bullied.
Lin Yuxing knows Chi Yan has a childhood sweetheart, so she carefully buries her crush deep in her heart.
…
Late at night, Chi Yan pins her against the headboard, his voice husky and edged with grievance. “Wife, why am I always the one who makes the first move?”
Lin Yuxing curls her slender, pale arms around his neck, her voice soft and teasing. “Watch what you say.”
“Why?”
“Because I’m going to kiss you…”
