The Struggling Student and Her Icy Top-Scoring Boyfriend

Also known as: Orange Light on the Inkstone

"Got nothing better to do?" he asked, his voice low and cold.

"Nope," Su Wancheng replied with a bright smile. "I'm busy with something important."

"What's that?"

"Pursuing you."

She said it briskly, in a voice just loud enough for the few people nearby to hear.

The air fell silent for two seconds.

Su Wancheng, a cheerful underachiever from Xikou Town, took one look at Cheng Yan, the famously aloof top student at Tongxi No. 1 High School, and set her sights on him.

Thick-skinned and lively, she pursued him with unwavering, straightforward persistence. He was quiet and cool, used to living alone and never opening his heart to others.

In the gentle rhythms of small-town life, the spirited girl gradually made her way into the loner's world, healing the lonely past he carried. From their first year of high school through all their years at university, they stayed by each other's side.

Underachieving girl x reserved, stoic top student. A slow and steady romance, sweet from beginning to end, with a happy ending.
