On the day the students were reassigned to classes in her second year of high school, Lin Chuxia made a decision that shocked the entire class: clutching her schoolbag, she walked over and sat beside Shen Tingzhou, the cold-faced genius no one in the school could get close to.
In her previous life, he had endured poverty and rejection from his family. But when she failed the college entrance exam and her family was thrown into turmoil, he silently did everything he could to protect her for years. This time, Lin Chuxia was determined to set every regret right.
She saves her mother's health, tackles the hardest physics problems, faces down her provocateurs, and, while she's at it... makes sure the aloof beauty beside her is well-fed and thoroughly spoiled!
The boy coolly criticized her: "Full-sugar milk tea is full of trans fats." Yet his Adam's apple bobbed, and the tips of his ears turned red as he bit down on the straw she offered him.
When his vicious stepmother confronted him in the street, trying to tear apart his dignity, Lin Chuxia, usually so gentle and sunny, stepped in front of him for the first time. Her gaze was as sharp as a blade. "Watch your mouth when you're out in public!"
From that day on, the genius who had never so much as blinked after getting a perfect score in a competition tightened his grip around her wrist, the corners of his eyes red. "Lin Chuxia, until we get into the same university... you're not allowed to smile at anyone else."
