[Capital City’s notorious playboy x aloof transfer student + sworn enemies turned unwilling roommates + a romance where they each hold the other in their grasp]

Yun Wumian stares at the silver chain swinging beneath the boy’s open uniform collar. His soft laugh, laced with the scent of mint candy, rings in her ear: “Hey, new girl, do me a favor. I’ll buy you a new bike tomorrow to make it up to you.”
