Xia Ying falls in love at first sight with a handsome, aloof boy from the class next door.
Knowing her personality, she has to make the first move!
After running into a wall eight hundred times, their stalemate finally takes a turn!
That evening, Xia Ying gathers her girlfriends to discuss.
"Help, help! Xu Huizhou said that if I make the top 100 in our grade on the next monthly exam, he'll say yes!"
"But there's only two months at most. How could I possibly make the top 100? What do you think I should do..."
She suddenly stops.
Her friends assume she's about to study with renewed determination, burn the midnight oil, strive for the top, and fight tooth and nail to make the top 100! And if all else fails, she'd bargain with Xu Huizhou and try to get him to lower the bar to the top 200!
Instead, she asks very seriously, "Do you think I should consider finding someone else to like?"
"..."
-
Xu Huizhou has never met a girl like Xia Ying before.
It seems like there's not a single honest word in her mouth.
For example, just yesterday, she told him, "You're so interesting. Being friends with you would definitely be a lot of fun!"
Then the very next day, he overhears her telling her friends, "Forget it. Being friends with him has probably saved me a fortune on air conditioning this summer!"
"..."
And for example, she told him, "I don't like people who talk too much. You're just right!"
Then he turns around and hears her complaining, "So rude, so rude, so rude. I say ten words and he says one. Even a rock has more warmth than you."
"..."
Xu Huizhou puts up with all of it.
But one day, he suddenly hears her say sadly to her friends, "He's so cold to me. I don't want to like him anymore."
For the first time, Xu Huizhou panics.
The next time he sees her, he can't help promising, "If you can make the top 100 in our grade on the next monthly exam..."
Xia Ying immediately makes a bold declaration: "Trust me!! Starting today, I'll pay attention in class, study hard, burn the midnight oil, strive for the top, and fight tooth and nail to make the top 100!"
He believes her and spends several nights putting together a pile of study materials for her.
But just a few days later, he catches her skipping class with her friends to sneak out to the back gate and buy takoyaki...
Xu Huizhou thinks glumly that he'll never believe her again.
[Xia Ying: Help, help! Why can't I get through to him?]
[Xu Huizhou: She doesn't like me at all.]
-Short skit-
Friend: "Why haven't you come over to play with my cat lately? Didn't you love it?"
Xia Ying, sadly: "It's so cold to me. I don't want to like it anymore."
Her friend sighs: "It's cold to me, its owner, too, sob TvT"
