On the first day of school, I was clutching my new textbooks and running at full speed when I crashed headfirst into the school heartthrob, the guy everyone was terrified of.
My books scattered everywhere, and I was scared out of my wits.
Everyone expected him to glare at me and make me cry.
But Jiang Yubai, who was rumored to be cold-tempered and uninterested in girls, bent down to help me pick up my books. The tips of his ears turned red as he coaxed me in a husky voice:
“Slow down. There’s no need to rush.”
Later, I realized something.
His coldness was an act.
His scheming nature was real.
And when he got jealous, he was reckless enough to risk his life.
The whole school was betting on when Jiang Yubai would get tired of me.
Only I knew.
This boy, who was as cold as ice around everyone else, had secretly loved me for years, where I couldn’t see him.
