[Cute × sweet-natured × kitten-tempered Luo Xi] vs. [Sharp-tongued × devoted × top student Jiang Yuyan]
When Luo Xi stepped into her first-year high school classroom, she was greeted by a striking new deskmate: Jiang Yuyan, a transfer student and her childhood friend, who had left to study abroad years ago.
He was a genius who dominated the citywide exams, with a cool, distant air about him. Usually quiet and modest, he never went out of his way to cram or compete, yet his abilities left everyone else far behind.
To outsiders, he seemed impossible to approach. But whenever he was with Luo Xi, he could never resist teasing her, tossing out sharp-witted remarks that always made her bristle.
Yet whenever Luo Xi found herself in trouble, he would quietly come to her aid. Beneath his cold words lay a tenderness that was easy to miss.
Luo Zijin, Xu Ying, Xie You'an, and Xue Yang were always by their side, making the six of them a lively, bickering little group.
They strolled down the begonia-lined avenue in spring, chatted by the neighborhood lake on summer nights, went shopping together on weekends to pick out formal dresses, and impulsively teamed up to take on escape rooms. The honor roll at the flag-raising ceremony sparked plenty of discussion, while after parent-teacher meetings, their families gathered as neighbors to chat.
The boys and girls spent their days together: trading barbs between classes, chatting on evening walks, and laughing on the badminton court. The small, ordinary moments of daily life filled the whole summer.
No melodramatic misunderstandings, no deliberately painful romance. A sharp-tongued top student who says one thing but means another × a sweet girl with a kitten's temper. Affection slowly takes root as they spend day after day together, and a warm, fluttery schoolyard crush begins to unfold.
