[Sweet school romance + campus life + secret crush + short story + complete + perfect for reading in one sitting]
Qiao Jing first heard the name Shen Yan during the first few days of his freshman year. The name spread through campus with surprising speed.
Because she was the province's top scorer that year.
A girl, and the top science-track scorer in the province!
Qiao Jing, however, didn't pay much attention. He'd been lucky to just barely make the cutoff for this top university, and his family had no further expectations of him. So after enrolling, his biggest hobbies were getting girlfriends and moving on to new ones.
Qiao Jing was a bona fide playboy. He came from a wealthy family and was handsome, and those two qualities alone were enough to attract plenty of girls. On top of that, he was funny, generous, and romantic. So even though everyone knew each of his relationships had a shelf life of no more than three weeks, plenty of girls still pursued him.
Things changed in the late autumn and early winter of his sophomore year...
When a playboy meets a cool beauty, who will fall first?
At the very beginning
Qiao Jing: “What the hell, what decade is this? People still make rules before they start dating?”
But in the end, he agreed, and so began a relationship where he counted down the days until they broke up.
In the end
Qiao Jing: “Shen Yan... It's already been half a year. Why don't we just... make do and stay together?”
