The Stray Dog and the Good Mushroom

[Fiery stray dog x laid-back mushroom] [Childhood sweethearts x from school uniforms to wedding gowns]

Everyone at No. 1 High knows that school bully Song Ciqi is Xia Lihuo's shadow. One day he tugs her braid, the next he scares off her admirers.

Xia Lihuo is fed up with the unruly dog, but she's gotten used to the milk and breakfast he brings her every single day, without fail.

Until their senior year, when the school beauty gives Song Ciqi a love letter in front of everyone. For the first time, Xia Lihuo leaves without waiting for him.

That night, Young Master Song pounds on her window, eyes red. "Xia Lihuo! If you keep acting like you can't see me, I'll... I'll cry right here!"

Years later, rising business star Song Ciqi stands at their proposal ceremony, holding the mushroom-shaped eraser she gave him as a child. His voice trembles:

"Mushroom, give me a home. Let me be your guard dog for the rest of my life, okay?"
