On the first day of school, Su Wan crashed into Lu Lin, the campus’s top heartthrob, in a face-first sprawl, smashing the “untouchable ice queen” filter she’d had on him.
Recruitment flyers scattered everywhere. Su Wan cried out in pain and looked up, meeting Lu Lin’s cold eyes and his disdainful question: “Can’t you walk?”
Great. The whole school now knew that the sunny, scatterbrained goddess Su Wan had seriously offended Lu Lin, student council president and star player on the basketball team. The radio station sweetheart versus the icy Lu? Everyone agreed: This couple just wasn’t shippable. Too painful!
But then things started to take a turn…
In the library, Lu Lin picked up her half-finished strawberry milkshake without batting an eye. “Too sweet. Get plain next time.”
After his team won the basketball game, he ignored the crowd’s screams and rested his forehead heavily on her shoulder, panting. “Wanwan, it’s over.”
Behind the locker-room door, his fingertips brushed her flushed cheek, his voice low and husky. “So… have you learned how to ‘walk’ yet?”
…
Everyone: ??? What happened to the ice-cold heartthrob?! This double standard! That possessiveness with nowhere to go! Lu, your character is completely falling apart!
Lu Lin raised an eyebrow calmly. “My character? If I get to be Wanwan’s personal pillow, I don’t mind if it falls apart.”
Su Wan: “Wait! Who said you could get so close and teach me whatever you want?”
Lu Lin: “Getting close is instinct. Teaching is my responsibility. For example…”
Amid the commotion of graduation, Su Wan held up her camera and stepped backward, then lost her footing
Flowers and diplomas scattered across the ground as Lu Lin caught her securely in his arms, his whole embrace burning hot.
In the bright sunshine, he looked down at her crimson face, his smile tender and lingering.
“Dummy,”
He nuzzled her
