[The delinquent Jian Lin has long been fed up with the discipline committee member who keeps writing down his name.]
Jian Lin was caught up in his family's internal power struggle and exiled from Haidian, Beijing, to Yanjiao, Hebei.
...Well, fine. Far from the emperor's reach, he could be a delinquent.
The boy was handsome, cocky, and unruly, and everything went smoothly at his new school.
The only person who got on his nerves was the discipline committee member at the school gate.
Chu Ying.
A cool, composed girl with long, straight black hair. She always wore her uniform properly and was the very picture of an excellent, sensible student.
Unlike everyone else, who earnestly urged him to mend his ways, Chu Ying would only raise her amber eyes, devoid of emotion, and look at him without a flicker of expression.
Then she'd lower her head and write down his name.
By the end of the month, Jian Lin's class of underachievers had lost thirteen thousand points. Their homeroom teacher couldn't catch his breath and had to be rushed to the hospital by ambulance.
For the sake of their teacher's physical and mental health, Jian Lin decided to bribe the discipline committee member who loved writing down names.
Under the wisteria trellis on campus, the cocky boy cornered the girl against the wall. He braced one hand against it, lowered his head slightly, and breathed into her ear, his voice magnetic and his tone casual:
"No point pretending anymore. I'm actually the heir to a powerful Beijing family. Stop writing my name down. When I go back and inherit the family fortune, I'll make it worth your while."
"..."
Chu Ying stared at him as if he were an idiot for a long moment, then said coolly:
"Ten minutes ago, your class representative told me he's the illegitimate child of a high-ranking official. If I stop writing his name down, he'll pull strings for me when I take the civil service exam.
"Last night, your class's PE representative wanted to copy my homework. He told me a talent scout had picked him and that he was going to become a top-tier star. He said I could have as many autographed photos as I wanted.
"Last weekend, Zhen Miaomiao said she's the real heiress of a wealthy Shanghai family. She borrowed eight hundred yuan from me to go to Shanghai and reclaim her birthright. In return, she'd set me up with a rich husband.
"Half a month ago, the girl who's always ranked last said she'd saved a Buddhist heir from Beijing when they were children, and he'd promised to marry her. By the way, since you're the heir to a powerful Beijing family, do you know him?"
Jian Lin: ...Nice.
This school was full of hidden talents.

Jian Lin grew more and more annoyed with Chu Ying, provoking her every few days, but she never even bothered to respond.
Then one evening during self-study, Chu Ying came to find him of her own accord.
"Come with me. Don't ask questions."
She took him out of class, over the wall, and into the roughest part of town, before turning into a dark, narrow alley with no security cameras.
The alley was cramped, and a chilling wind swept through it.
A drunken middle-aged man lay in the corner.
Clouds drifted across the night sky, and the moonlight illuminated Chu Ying's pale, impassive face.
Jian Lin watched as she expressionlessly swung a steel pipe and smashed the man's leg!
Jian Lin: "!!"
Wife, you're so badass!!!
That night, good student Chu Ying and delinquent Jian Lin did every kind of illegal and unruly thing imaginable.
Jian Lin was lovestruck, his heart pounding with excitement. He couldn't sleep all night.
So the next day, he was late again.
As usual, Chu Ying stood at the school gate, holding the discipline book in one hand. Her uniform was buttoned neatly all the way to the collar.
She ignored his passionate gaze and glanced at him coolly, as if he were a complete stranger.
Then she lowered her head and wrote his name down once again.
Jian Lin: "???"
Was last night a dream, then????
