On the first day of school, I got a new deskmate: a transfer student who was not to be messed with.
Luo Qinghe had golden eyes and a cold, commanding air. The moment she arrived in class, she set her sights on me.
I thought we’d just be ordinary classmates.
Until the next day, when her mother came looking for me.
The formidable businesswoman I’d rescued in an alley half a month earlier.
Mature and reserved, with influence that reached everywhere.
She glanced at the red string around my wrist and smiled meaningfully. “Young friend, it seems we’re fated to meet.”
Luo Qinghe immediately stepped in front of me, refusing to budge.
Before long, my high school life was turned upside down.
The two of them competed with each other openly and behind the scenes, trying to outdo each other at every turn.
No one knew the red string on my wrist was connected to Luo Qinghe.
I could also hear the thoughts she hid beneath her defiant exterior. The wildly unexpected contrast between her thoughts and demeanor caught me off guard every time.
But it was fine.
Let them stir up all the storms they wanted. I’d stay as steady as a mountain.
Keeping it cool, easy.
