[Roguishly handsome school bully × sweet, gentle top student]
[Sweet campus romance, equally matched, lighthearted doting romance, mutual salvation]
Rumor has it that Seaside High has a school bully named Song Wangyu, a rebellious, headstrong truant who never takes anyone seriously.
In her first year of high school, a science-track girl named Xu Zhixia transfers to the school. Quiet and reserved, she comes first in her grade on the entrance exam, and somehow ends up as Song Wangyu's deskmate.
But this girl may look soft and coolly aloof, yet she has some nerve, always picking on her school-bully deskmate.
“Song Wangyu, pass my workbook up to the podium.”
“Deskmate, I can't solve this competition problem. Teach me.”
“Song Wangyu, put down your phone. You're studying with me today.”
Everyone assumes the school bully will teach her what the “dangers” of school are, but they're stunned to see Song Wangyu willingly do everything she asks.
Later, when someone corners Xu Zhixia outside school, everyone sees Song Wangyu shield her, the usually arrogant boy gently coaxing her in a low voice.
His former rebellious wildness melts into tenderness. His voice remains lazy and carefree, but his words are gentle to the core.
“Zhixia, I'll listen to you and stay out of trouble. Don't be scared, okay?”
The summer cicadas sing for a long time, until at last, in the sunset glow over the sea of orange, he draws her into his arms.
