When they first met, Shang Yubai handed her a carton of warm strawberry milk. His gaze was cool. "Kid, stay away from alcohol."
Shu Yao thought this top student was the chaste, fatherly type, until a mean girl cornered her. He shielded Shu Yao in front of everyone, then turned around and pinned her against the wall, brushing the milk stain from the corner of her lips with his fingertip. "Who did I teach you to go to when you're in trouble?"
Her brother in name only was really a hunter closing in on her at every turn. She tried to fight back with a split, hoping to tease him, but he caught her by the wrist instead and showed her what a true difference in skill looked like.
Everyone in the city said Shu Yao was a country girl reaching above her station. Only Shang Yubai knew she was the precious girl he'd been plotting to claim for ages, and would never let go.
