[Delinquent girl + pure-hearted, calculating top student + campus romance + happy ending + mutual pining becomes real]
Xia Wu's interest in Shen Yi started on a whim.
But little by little, that whim seemed to take on a different flavor.
She realized that Shen Yi had more than just a handsome face. He also had the citrus scent she liked, abs that were just the right amount of defined, and eyes that turned slightly red in a way that made her feel for him. Everything about him suited her taste perfectly. What were the odds?
Then one day, Shen Yi finally told her the truth.
“Shen Yi, why is there a bottle of perfume in your closet? It's expired, too.”
“Did you use it before?”
“When?”
“...In high school.”
Xia Wu turned it over in her mind. Two minutes later, she grinned mischievously. “Shen Yi, didn't you say that smell was just leftover detergent?”
“...No. I bought it especially for you.”
“And your abs?”
“...I worked out for you, too.”
That night, Xia Wu cried and called him a liar. There was nothing pitiable about him at all! It was all an act! Every last bit of it!
Later, Xia Wu found Shen Yi's diary and learned that everything had been planned from the start.
At last, at the age of twenty-three, Shen Yi welcomed his summer.
