[Resilient, striving girl × laid-back, flirtatious boy]

[School life+sweet romance, both leads’ first love+slow-burn daily life+mutual devotion+happy ending]

Her gambling-addict father planned to trade her for a bride price. Xu Yang fled in the middle of the night and sought refuge with her aunt.

The girls at No. 7 High School shared an unspoken understanding:

Jiang Yao was so devastatingly handsome it took your breath away.

But none of them dared get close.

Someone like him wasn’t the kind of boy you could win over by chasing him relentlessly.

Xu Yang thought Jiang Yao only treated her a little differently because of their connection.

Across their desks, he would casually tease and flirt with her, until she gradually found herself unable to resist.

During a game of Truth or Dare, someone asked what kind of boy she liked.

Xu Yang answered without thinking, “A handsome one.”

Everyone teased her, asking how handsome counted as handsome.

Xu Yang stammered, unable to answer.

Jiang Yao leaned back in his chair, a smile on his lips as he gazed at her.

…

In a hidden corner, the boy leaned against the wall, smiling with the corners of his eyes lifted.

“Xu Yang.”

He called out to her, his voice languid and lazy.

“Is this face of mine handsome enough to be your boyfriend?”
