Lin Zhao has three major regrets in her life: she will always be one place lower than Jiang Chi in exams, she will always be pushed to the ground and rubbed by him in debates, and - three days ago, she slipped an 800-word love letter written to her crush on her senior classmate and sent it to this nemesis who had been crushing her in all aspects since the first year of high school.
What made her even more horrified was that Jiang Chi didn't ridicule, didn't post screenshots to the group, or even reply with a few words. He just smiled at her at the school gate. Just that light, non-aggressive smile caused the whole school forum to explode for three days and three nights, with everyone saying "Jiang Shen was abducted by aliens".
Lin Zhao lives on thin ice every day. Jiang Chi went to class as usual, answered questions, and got first in grade. The only exception was that he would occasionally appear in her sight, look at her with a look that she couldn't understand, and then walk away as if nothing had happened. What does he mean? Did he read that love letter? When is he going to make a big move? Lin Zhao felt like he was being driven crazy.
Until one night after self-study, Jiang Chi blocked her in an empty corridor, looked down at her, and said in a calm tone as if he was stating the answer to a math problem: "Lin Zhao, I read your love letter."
Lin Zhao's legs went weak and he almost knelt down on the spot.
He paused, and finally the corner of his mouth curved into a curve that she was familiar with, but this time it seemed so bad: "What's so good about Gu Mingyuan? You might as well like someone else."
——Like him.
