First Place Is Yours, and So Am I

On the first day Xia Linjiang moved to Fengyuan with her parents, she caught Zhu Yue “bullying” a child.

Maybe their first meeting got off on the wrong foot, because from then on, the two of them never ran out of things to argue about.

Whenever she wanted to punch him, Xia Linjiang would think about his good looks and decide she could put up with him a little longer. But even after holding back, she still really wanted to punch him.

Zhu Yue had been number one for ten years, until Xia Linjiang came along and shattered his legend.

It was as though she had flipped a switch: from then on, he had to beat her at everything.

They competed in every subject and every sport, even over who could eat or sleep better.

Everyone thought they were sworn rivals who couldn’t stand the sight of each other. Only they knew that in their world, where they were each other’s perfect match, they were locked in a thrilling, evenly matched contest.

A little over a year wasn’t long, and Xia Linjiang had to return to Jingbei.

Before she left, Zhu Yue threw out a challenge: “This isn’t over between us. I’ll come find you in Jingbei.”

Six months later, they met again at the country’s top university, and Zhu Yue had brought along two “tagalongs.”

Fang Yunjie: “Amazing! The three black swans and one white swan are finally reunited.”

Ji Ran: “We get to watch two masters go head-to-head again!”

But Zhu Yue said, “All this competing is boring. Now I only want to beat her at who likes the other more.”

Xia Linjiang: “I knew my taste was consistent. As for your abilities, well, you’re just barely good enough for me.”

In this game of love between rivals, we finally met our match.
