Orange Ice Soda

[Small town + staying with someone + heiress + sweet flirtation + happy ending + two top students]

When the Yu family went bankrupt overnight, they sent Yu Sui to a tiny town far off the beaten track in the middle of the night.

*

Yu Sui, who had spent more than ten years living in a big city, had never seen anything like it.

The green train reeking of cigarette smoke and instant noodles, the three-wheeled motorbike ride under the blazing sun...

Every little thing drove her to despair.

Nothing in the town was convenient, except that one person was always making things easier for her.

*

Lu Ye had never met a girl as spoiled as Yu Sui.

She cried when it was hot, cried when bugs bit her, and even cried when she couldn't understand the lessons.

It was as if Yu Sui would cry enough tears here to last a lifetime.

Every day, Lu Ye was either comforting his princess or on his way to comfort her.

*

One night, Yu Sui ran to Lu Ye's room, clutching her pillow.

Lu Ye was fiddling with something under the covers.

When he saw her, his expression stiffened. "What is it this time, Your Highness?"

Yu Sui: "There's a bug on my bed. I'm afraid to sleep."

He sighed. "Come sleep over here with me."

*

Years later, at a gathering, someone asked Yu Sui why she'd chosen Lu Ye.

This was her answer:

"Lu Ye would chase away the mosquitoes for me, fan me at night, put up a mosquito net, and do so many other things."

Only then did Lu Ye realize she remembered all those nights.
