Sour-Sweet Green Lime

[Sweet Campus Romance | Contrasting Sides | Tension Before Tenderness | Secretly Falling in Love]

[Proud, aloof top student × Stubborn, competitive ray of sunshine]

Everyone at school knew that Zhou Zhi, a sophomore, was a born winner, standing head and shoulders above the rest.

He was the student council president, always at the top of his grade. Distant and taciturn, he carried an air of arrogance that warned everyone to keep their distance. Everyone looked up to him, but no one dared approach.

Yao Lutong had never liked him, nor did she particularly admire him.

The praise she heard from others when they first met had planted a prejudice in her heart.

She always felt that someone so universally revered must naturally look down on everyone else.

But she never denied that Zhou Zhi was exceptional.

He was brilliant and supremely disciplined, always putting in the effort ahead of time. His example awakened the competitiveness buried deep inside her.

She was in the middle of her grade and knew full well that she and Zhou Zhi were worlds apart, but she refused to accept it. So she reined in her laziness, buried herself in books, and quietly chased her own future, using him as an invisible measuring stick.

Everyone thought the cold, indifferent Zhou Zhi never cared about anyone.

No one knew that before Yao Lutong began deliberately avoiding him out of prejudice and secretly competing with him, he had already taken notice of this lively, radiant girl.

Watching her stubbornly dig in her heels and refuse to lose, the aloof iceberg quietly concealed his sharp edges, his heart filling with tenderness and affection for her.

Their youthful feelings were like an unripe lemon: they began with sour prejudice and ended with a sweetness that lingered in the heart.
