A Heart Stirred Without Restraint

[The carefree young master of Beijing's elite circles × the cool, pure-hearted top student]

[Redemption + he pursues her + love at first sight]

“Xu Zhi, your sister's health is poor. It would be convenient if you went to the same school so you could look after her.”

“Mom, I want to go to Jinghua University.”

For the first time, Xu Zhi found the courage to defy her family's arrangements.

“No. It's settled. You and your sister will both apply to Jiangyu University.”

With a single sentence, Xu's mother cut off the future Xu Zhi had fought so hard to reach.

Outside Jiangyu College

Dragging a suitcase half her height, Xu Zhi unexpectedly bumped into the man who was destined to become entangled with her for the rest of her life: Shen Ci.

The man raised an eyebrow, a hint of casual, roguish charm in his expression. His tone was languid and self-satisfied. “Classmate, I've seen this tired old pickup line plenty of times. Try something new next time.”

Shen Ci was a notorious playboy and rich young heir. Few people at Jiangyu College knew much about him, except that he was obscenely rich, outrageously wild, and surrounded by gossip. At Jiangyu College, he was someone you didn't dare cross.

At a party, someone teased Shen Ci, asking if he had fallen for someone. With a cigarette between his lips, he put on his usual nonchalant act. “I don't like good girls.”

But after making that bold claim, he panicked the moment he saw that cool, distant figure.

From then on, there was no turning back.

“Seatmate, if you want to get out, you have to kiss me first.”

“Who upset our top student? Tell me, and I'll teach them a lesson.”

“Xu Zhi, I'm begging you, please talk to me.”
