(Optimistic, sunny girl with heart disease x Poor, gloomy academic ace) 1v1

The first time Zhu Yuan'an saw Xu Huaiyan, the boy was weaving through a smoky barbecue stall, his refined air completely at odds with his surroundings.
The second time she saw him was at a cafe near her home. He was making coffee, his movements as serious as if he were solving a math problem.
The third time she saw him was at school. After the students were divided into arts and science tracks, they became deskmates.
The boy was taciturn and kept to himself, never saying a word more than necessary.
Only later did she learn that his father had passed away, leaving behind a huge gambling debt, and his mother had left, leaving him to rely on his seriously ill grandmother for support.
All the weight of the family fell on his shoulders at once, and he could only make ends meet by working several jobs.
Zhu Yuan'an understood. No wonder, every time she'd seen him, he was either working or on his way to work.
As the two grew closer, Zhu Yuan'an looked at the slender boy and found herself wanting to feed him.

At first, Xu Huaiyan thought the young lady was just amusing herself out of boredom. Why else would anyone trade her luxurious lunchbox for his, which had not a drop of oil and was filled with leafy greens?
He'd meant to refuse, but perhaps the girl's smile was too radiant, or perhaps her gaze was too sincere. Somehow, he agreed.

Everyone said Xu Huaiyan, the campus heartthrob at Huai University, was an emotionless robot, programmed only for studying and working. He didn't even have a single female mosquito around him.
But on the first day of classes one year, the aloof heartthrob, whom everyone thought was uninterested in women, held a girl tightly in his arms and wouldn't let go, his eyes full of tenderness.
