[Cool, cerebral science genius × bubbly arts girl | Childhood friends | One-on-one sweet romance | From school uniforms to wedding gowns]
On the first day of high school, Su Nianwan dropped all her books in the hallway.
A reserved boy helped her pick up One Hundred Years of Solitude and said just three words: “Your book.”
Then he walked away without looking back.
Su Nianwan thought, “Sure, he's handsome, but he's got a terrible attitude.”
Only later did she learn he was the new neighbor who lived across the hall.
He was also her new deskmate, Lin Yuzhou, a transfer student with perfect scores in science.
He never started conversations, but whenever she couldn't find a worksheet, he quietly handed her a spare.
He told her, “Do it yourself,” but at night he sent her pages of densely written, handwritten solution notes.
He kept a poker face in front of the class, but slipped a White Rabbit candy onto her draft paper.
Su Nianwan always thought Lin Yuzhou was just nice to his deskmate.
Until much later, when she opened his old notebook and found a line written in pencil on the inside cover:
“Su Nianwan, from the moment your books scattered across the floor, I knew I was done for.”
Twelve years, from school uniforms to wedding gowns.
At last, she realized that the person she had thought was “the hardest to get along with” was the one who treated her best in the world.
