“What do you do when you see the school bully getting beaten up?”
A. Pretend you didn’t see anything. B. Get stuck with him for the rest of your life.
Li Li: Can I choose neither?
◆ An instant social disaster
In an alley, Pei Lin, the blond school bully, is battered and bruised. He looks up and meets Li Li’s terrified eyes.
“Tell anyone and you’re dead!”
But the very next day, he turns up at the convenience store where she works. “I came for breakfast. Got a problem with that?”
◆ The rich-boy pursuit playbook
“Be my tutor.” Pei Lin tosses out a black card.
“No.” Li Li clutches her account book.
“Five hundred an hour.”
“...What time do I start, boss?”
◆ A makeover story come to life
With contact lenses, a trip to the salon, and a luxury shopping spree, Young Master Pei personally transforms the plain little girl into an adorable beauty.
Li Li: Does this count as workplace injury compensation?
Pei Lin: (His ears turning bright red) Shut up!
“I like her, so what?” Pei Lin pulls the teary-eyed little miser into his arms and bares his teeth at the onlookers. “Keep staring and I’ll charge you!”
