[Brooding, timid good girl × lazy, cocky rich boy]
In their second year of high school, a family upheaval forced Ruan Ci to stay temporarily at Jiang Ji's house.
The boy had an exceptionally handsome face, but an undeniable air of swagger about him.
In Ruan Ci's memories, he always appeared when she was at her most miserable.
The first time, her wallet was stolen.
The second time, he caught her hiding in the classroom, quietly wiping away her tears.
The third time, on her way home from school, she was cornered and bullied in a narrow alley.
At last, Jiang Ji couldn't stand it anymore. Leaning his tall frame against the wall, he said irritably, “You're so bold when you're with me, but the moment something happens, all you know how to do is cry?”
Curled up in a corner, the girl looked at him with a pair of glistening, tear-filled eyes. “I wasn't...”
Jiang Ji: “...”
The boy softened his voice, helplessly. “Next time anyone bullies you, tell me. Got it?”
“...Got it.”
Later, everyone knew Jiang Ji had a little shadow following him around, and no one dared bully her anymore.

One day, a friend grinned and asked Jiang Ji, “Second Brother, are you into that girl?”
The boy tapped his fingers lightly on the edge of the table and replied lazily, “That crybaby? Not interested.”
On the surface, Jiang Ji always acted like he didn't care. In private, though, he tore to shreds every love letter other boys sent her.
A chill settled in his eyes, and he said coolly, “She's already got someone she likes. If you try again, I'll break your legs.”

“Romance is etched deep in the heart, and the rose's meaning will never fade.”
It's really super, super pretty!
