On her first day at her new school, Lin Wan announced loudly, “I have a boyfriend. We’re in a long-distance relationship.”
That successfully put off every boy who might have pursued her.
Gu Chen, asleep in the back row, lifted an eyelid. Interesting.
Later, he beat her score by exactly one point on every practice exam. He went through girlfriends like outfits, while she could take down three thugs by herself after school.
For a composition assignment, he wrote “On the Art of Being a Pretender,” while she wrote “On Peacock Displays and the Nature of Teddy Boys.”
Then, on graduation night, he pinned her against a wall in an alley.
“Heh. Your disguise is flawless, but it can’t fool me.”
