A refined, scholarly top student with old-fashioned manners vs. a haughty, scatterbrained girl
[Staying under the same roof + Living together + Healing each other + Love at first sight for the heroine]
Teng Junzhi had lived in Jingbei since childhood. She was an only child, and both her parents were executives at major overseas companies. The three of them were lucky if they saw one another a few times a year.
She had lived this dull life on her own for over a decade. She thought she would spend her whole life this way, but then, during the stretch between the end of the college entrance exams and the start of university, a taciturn boy barged into her quiet life.
His name was Jian Yao. It was quite a nice name, but he was so strange. The first word that came to Teng Junzhi’s mind when she saw him was “taciturn.” This guy was a real closed book.
Her mother said Jian Yao’s family situation was a little unusual, and he didn’t want to live in a university dorm any more than she did. So he would stay with them until he found a suitable place to rent. In other words, she would have to put up with this quiet guy for at least three years.
Even worse, her parents wanted her to call this taciturn boy “big brother.” As if she would!
