In everyone else's eyes, Yan Qingci is a celestial being, devoted to nothing but the books of the sages.
Yet he makes exception after exception for the new student, An Shu. Watching the transfer student get dragged into the little black room, everyone feels sorry for her. But the usually aloof Yan Qingci pins An Shu against the door and says, "One point off."
An Shu glares at the culprit, who pretends to be harmless while secretly being cunning. She grits her teeth, her ears turning red. "You jerk! If it weren't for you last night, would I really be unable to get up today?"
Yan Qingci bends down, drawing closer to her. His low voice coaxes her: "Then... let me kiss you now, and I won't take off a point."
Hey, that's abusing your power for personal gain!
Yan Qingci: "An Shu, you have to love me. No exceptions."
"I love you more than everything in this world, even more than I love myself."
"I'll work hard to make myself clean, so I can accept someone as spotless as you."
"An Shu, I feel filthy through and through. You're the first person who hasn't loathed my filth, the first to embrace me. I want to hold on to your hand."
Your love for me came out of nowhere, but I've been plotting to love you for a long time.
