[Arrogant Rich Boy Who Grows Increasingly Twisted x Cold-Hearted Girl from a Single-Parent Family]
Lu Hanzhou first really got to know Xia Ye on a filthy, run-down old street.
Smoke billowed from the cooking oil, and the iron wok rumbled. Still in her school uniform, she stood in front of her mother's mobile stall, sleeves rolled up, tossing fried rice with practiced ease.
"Want some fried rice, Lu Hanzhou?"
"…Are you treating me?"
"Sure."
The ten-yuan ham and egg fried rice was heavy on the oil and salt. There was no sea cucumber or abalone in it, much less wagyu or lobster, just a few pitifully thin strips of meat.
The rich boy had been spoiled since childhood, and never ate a meal that cost less than two thousand yuan. For the first time in his life, he sat on a plastic stool by the roadside, finished the fried rice the girl set in front of him, and didn't leave a single grain.
Falling for Xia Ye was outrageous and undignified.
He would often stare blankly at her face during class, and couldn't stop himself from throwing a spoiled-rich-boy tantrum when she ignored him.
Though their flirtation never got so much as a response, Lu Hanzhou stubbornly kept testing her feelings again and again.
Until one day, he suddenly discovered that Xia Ye already had a boyfriend.
But how could that be allowed?
His heart was about to burst with how much he liked Xia Ye. His feelings kept corroding him, caught between reason and self-respect.
The more he held back, the deeper they seeped in.
The clearer his mind, the more they ate away at him.
Note:
1. The male lead knowingly becomes the other man. After he wins her over later in the story, he's already a twisted, brooding ghost of a man.
2. The female lead may seem passive, but she is the one in control of the relationship.
3. A 1V2 relationship along the way, with a 1v1 ending.
4. Gender-bender, no children.
Thesis: Stay clear-headed and true to yourself.
