My Poor Deskmate? Watch Me Save You for Good!

[Sweet Campus Romance + One Female Lead + Pure Love + Mutual Healing]

That September, as he started his second year of high school, Jiang Chi, the school's notorious "big shot," thought the days would pass just like before, one day at a time.

He never expected Sister Pan, the homeroom teacher, to seat him next to the grade's famously "aloof" top student, and even tell him to help her out more.

He'd thought she would be another quiet, withdrawn type, but gradually he realized his deskmate seemed a little different.

She was always so quiet, barely ate at mealtimes, and no wonder she was so thin... Even when she smiled, she seemed so cautious.

Well... he might as well do what Sister Pan said and take good "care" of his deskmate.

"Hey, deskmate... why did you borrow my homework?"

"Hey, deskmate, your face is so red."

"Thanks, deskmate. Why are you so nice to me? What am I supposed to do if I fall in love with you?"

Whenever he teased her, her ears turned red, and she would mutter, "You meanie..."

"Hmm? What was that?"

"Nothing..."

He'd thought he and this somewhat shy, adorable deskmate would go on like this forever, with him saying something and her replying. But it seemed she'd wanted to cling to him all along.

"Hey, deskmate, what would you say if I told Sister Pan I wanted to switch deskmates?"

It was just a joke, but as soon as he said it, the girl in front of him bristled.

"N-no, you can't!"

Perhaps realizing she'd overreacted, the girl shrank back again.

"You said... I could rely on you... Y-you can't take it back..."

Well... if she wanted to cling to him, he would let her.

For the rest of their lives.
