The Fallen Wilderness

[School life | mutually devoted leads | happy ending | sweet romance]

[The heroine goes from poor student to success. The hero is secretly a lovesick fool.]

Li Shijin had her eye on Yuanye, the cool and aloof top student at No. 1 High School. The news sent both schools into an uproar.

One was a flighty, troublesome girl, while the other was a distant, refined top student. Everyone bet she’d never win him over.

But Li Shijin refused to back down. She was determined to win this high-stakes bet.

The first time they met, Li Shijin took one look at him and said, “I want all his information by the end of the day.”

Yuanye’s four-word verdict on her was: “Affected and pretentious.”

But after she chose him, time and again, Yuanye knew he had no chance of escaping.

On New Year’s Eve, Yuanye gazed at her intently. “Li Shijin, do you still like me?”

“I don’t like long-distance relationships. If you can get into a university within five kilometers of Peking University, I’ll be with you.”

Li Shijin rose onto her toes and pressed a kiss to his lips. “Let’s seal the deal first.”

The first snow, fireworks, two young people confessing their feelings to each other. As the clock struck midnight, Li Shijin received the best seventeenth-birthday present she could have wished for.

Everyone laughed at her for being delusional, for treating a rejection as a promise. How could someone like Li Shijin, who was always at the bottom of her class, get into a university within five kilometers of Peking University?

But later, Li Shijin really did grit her teeth, go from the bottom of her class to getting into college, and find the path she wanted to follow.

“Now it’s your turn to keep your promise.”

Yuanye looked at her and suddenly smiled.

He caught her wrist and pulled her close, lowering his head to kiss her. “Actually, I made an exception for you a long time ago.”
