Jiang Yubai: The “walking contradiction” and school bully of Class 3, Grade 11. His skin is as fair as milk, and his smile reveals shallow dimples, giving him a soft, adorable air. But when he gets angry, the corners of his eyes turn red, and he has a fierce, feisty side no one can take lightly. He looks rebellious and eager to cause trouble, but quietly steps in to help his classmates. Every day, without fail, he waits for Shen Yan after evening study, with the mint candies Shen Yan likes always tucked into his uniform pocket.
Shen Yan: The undisputed top student in the advanced class, ranked first in the grade year after year. His clear, bright eyes need no glasses to hide them, and his long lashes and the way his fingertips tap the desk as he solves competition problems give him an unmistakable presence. Quiet and reserved, he can still see the tenderness hidden beneath Jiang Yubai’s “tough guy” act, and secretly writes out solutions on Jiang Yubai’s scratch paper.
