[Childhood friends + a devoted HE romance + lighthearted and sweet + a secret crush comes true + bickering couple] [Dramatic, struggling childhood sweetheart x blunt, top-student campus heartthrob]
When Wen Jingyan was a freshman in high school, her grades were mediocre. So whenever her nemesis, Gu Chengze, came to the Wen family home, he couldn't resist teasing her.
“Haoxuan, do you think this little firecracker will even get into college?” Gu Chengze asked his childhood friend Wen Haoxuan, only half joking.
Wen Haoxuan, the Wen family's second son, thought: Oh no! If my dramatic little sister hears that, she'll turn into a firecracker in no time.
“Gu Chengze! Why are you here again? Don't you have a home?”
When the little firecracker suddenly appeared behind Gu Chengze, the two boys hurriedly “ran away.”
That night, Wen Jingyan secretly resolved to make a “glorious comeback.” She asked her best friend Lin Chuxia to tutor her in private.
On the day Wen Jingyan got her college entrance exam results, the bickering pair argued over whether she could get into A University with excellent grades. They made a bet: whoever lost would be the other's errand runner for a semester, even lining up to buy meals.
When the results came out, Gu Chengze was stunned. But more than anything, he was relieved. After all, he'd been complaining about his little firecracker to Wen Haoxuan every day.
His little firecracker had even won first prize in an art competition back in middle school. How could she really be worse than everyone else? If she worked hard, she could definitely catch up with him!
After the semester began, the campus heartthrob could be found lining up to buy breakfast, lunch, and dinner for a junior in the art department.
To his childhood friends, Gu Chengze's favoritism toward Wen Jingyan only grew; it never waned. But to Wen Jingyan, he was a sharp-tongued, scheming, hopelessly clueless straight guy.
