Chen Yang is beautiful and the whole school knows it.
Chen Yang's grades were bad, and the whole school knew it.
She skipped classes, was forced to stand, had disheveled hair, and made money by working as a model. The whole school knew that she was "ignorant and incompetent."
No one knows that the money she earns is saved one after another for one purpose only - to get out of here.
Lin Zhi is her childhood sweetheart, whom she has known since they were six years old.
He helped her organize her desk, wrote notes for her, and brought mung bean soup to the corner of her desk.
Everyone thought he would pull her up.
But the thorns all over her body hurt him the most.
"We're not that familiar yet."
It's not that she doesn't want to be close to him.
When she stood in front of him, she always felt that she was covered in mud and was not worthy of his clean body.
The closer he got, the more irritated she became.
She lied to herself that she was annoying him.
She had lied for so long that she almost believed it.
It was very hot that summer and the cicadas were chirping very noisily.
