[Complete. The next novel will be Thinking of Us]
Mutual pining|Mutual possessiveness|Childhood friends|School to city life
Proud and oblivious vs. cool and scheming
“Blurb”
Zhou Shixu has been the kind of kid other parents envy since childhood: wealthy, brilliant, handsome, yet never surrounded by a crowd.
His aloof nature keeps everyone at a distance.
Anyone who talks to him is brushed off within three sentences.
The only one who seems to get different treatment from him is Wen Qing, his childhood friend, who has grown up by his side.
But according to Wen Qing, his good qualities barely count:
“He’s such a pain. I can’t stand him.”
Unfortunately,
Zhou Shixu happens to overhear her complaining to her deskmate as he walks by. He glances over impassively.
“Yeah. He’s unbearable.”
Even more unfortunately,
after Zhou Shixu has passed, Wen Qing continues, “He only says a couple more words to me than he does to anyone else. It’s so unfair.”
Already far away, Zhou Shixu cannot hear her. He merely glances at the people gathered around her, his voice no longer as steady as before.
“How many more friends are you going to make?”
*
The college entrance exams are over.
Zhou Shixu and Wen Qing had already agreed that they would apply to schools in City A.
As expected, he is accepted to the best university in the city.
The day the admission results come out, he learns that Wen Qing never applied anywhere and is going abroad to study.
The cool look on his face visibly darkens.
Wen Qing has barely opened her bedroom door when she finds him standing outside, looking displeased.
Before she can react, Zhou Shixu pins her against the doorway.
Burying his face in the hollow of her neck, he speaks in a strained voice:
“Do you hate me that much?”
“What about me? What am I supposed to do?”
“Why didn’t you tell me beforehand?”
“Have you really gotten so sick of me?”
Before Wen Qing can deny it, she feels something hot and wet against her neck.
*
[Little scene]
After their reunion, in the heady, intimate atmosphere of the room, Wen Qing is on the verge of falling asleep.
With the last of her wits, she glares at Zhou Shixu.
“I hate you.”
That had always worked before, and she thinks he’ll stop there.
But Zhou Shixu moves even closer, rubbing her earlobe as he chuckles.
“Hmm? You hate me?”
[Proud, oblivious girl who treasures her friends × aloof, shamelessly lovesick guy]
One-on-one romance, both leads are each other’s first love and have no past relationships
*They fell in love at first sight as children and pined for each other, but they’re both afraid that if they get together and then break up, they’ll lose each other. So the pining stage is a little long. If you don’t enjoy a slow-burn situationship, feel free to skip ahead. The couple confesses and gets together in Chapter 69 (≧∇≦)

Genius girl × golden boy
He falls first|Reunion after years apart
Pei Shuyu has always had an easy, successful life. He has wealth, power, and fame, and yet he can’t stop thinking about one person: Song Jinxi.
Throughout their three years of high school, she outdid him at everything.
The celebrated golden boy became the perennial runner-up.
Even when she chose to pursue an arts track,
she still came back for the last mock exam and took first place again.
Years later, when they meet again, Song Jinxi has become one of the country’s foremost violinists.
At her grandest performance, Pei Shuyu sits in the farthest corner as the spotlight falls on the stage.
Even after all these years, she is still radiant.
Then, entirely unexpectedly, a violin string snaps.
After waiting for years, Pei Shuyu finally gets to see her make a mistake.
What no one expects is that he mobilizes his company’s entire legal team to suppress the trending topic and uncover the truth for her.
He even calls in every favor he can.
People around them gossip, saying that this violinist must be someone special to President Pei.
Pei Shuyu watches Song Jinxi approach him, troubled by doubts.
Is she special?
All he knows is this:
Even if she loses, she can only lose to him.
No one remembers the perennial runner-up who spent his student years on the honor roll.
Even less so when the perennial first-place student was always the center of attention.
Pei Shuyu never expects Song Jinxi to remember him.
He helps her only because he wants her to lose to him fair and square.
Until those clear eyes look at him with a smile.
“Pei Shuyu, you looked better back when you didn’t wear glasses.”
“I thought there was far more hate than love. But when you finally looked back at me, I realized there was never any hate at all. I was only hurt that you didn’t turn around and look at me sooner.”
*One-on-one romance, both leads are devoted to each other and each other’s first love
*The title and tagline are from Wang Sulong’s “Thinking of Us.”
Theme: Be your own kind of high achiever
It's really sweet. It's been two weeks since school started. I'm so tired. The third year of high school is indeed the third year of high school.
Looking forward to it!!!! I'm really looking forward to other people's stories
It's very strong, continue to grow this length [hug the thigh][hug the thigh][hug the thigh]
I'm curious to ask if the author will write a side story about Zhou's parents 🥺
It's great to see each other's faults and share our likes and dislikes.
Hey, look forward to thinking of us!
These two people are also very sweet, 1 million. What a great meeting, happy
Alas, school is about to start in the next two days, and my senior year of high school is about to begin. I feel really worried about college, even though I may not have a good future after going to college. But it's hard to get into college because I just don't have enough grades and I feel like it's hard to work hard. BJM is really popular recently, but I still don't have a real feeling about it. I just feel like it's going to be college entrance exam very soon. I don't know whether I will be happy or sad today next year. I hope everything goes well. I feel like I'm really awesome. A person who doesn't like to read novels can finish a novel. This is the first serialized novel I've followed. I'm looking forward to the stories of other characters. School starts on the 16th, so I've almost finished it.
Will there be extra episodes with male and female protagonists later?
When will it be updated today?
