Xie Linyuan recognized Xu Wanzhou on the first day he transferred to another school.
The person who was always number one is now his deskmate.
He plays the role of a blameless academic scumbag: he controls the test papers, clumsily solves the problems, and all his sharp edges are properly hidden.
Until that night of self-study, Xu Wanzhou accidentally left a pencil mark that was almost wiped off.
That was the simplest solution to a Mathematical Olympiad problem that Xie Linyuan accidentally wrote down when he was hit.
Xu Wanzhou saw it.
He looked at Xie Linyuan's "wrong" test paper and the indentation of the genius, and confirmed one thing: this person was putting on a flawless disguise in front of him.
"For this question, you chose C on the test paper."
The tip of Xu Wanzhou's pen touched the red fork, and his voice was as calm as a knife.
"Wrong option. But in your draft three days ago, you wrote B - the only correct answer."
He raised his eyes and revealed the smallest cracks under the other party's perfect mask:
"So, Xie Linyuan. How long are you going to keep pretending to me?"
Xie Linyuan thought his secret was impenetrable until he was forced to the edge of the rooftop.
Behind him, Xu Wanzhou's voice fell, calm and cruel:
"Jump down and try."
"If you jump, I will keep this boat empty forever."
At that moment Xie Linyuan understood——
Xu Wanzhou is not a boat for ferrying people.
He was an empty ship, drifting for half his life, but when he saw that he was about to fall, he decided to sink it for him.
"People thought he was my shore."
"Actually, he is the only anchor that I am willing to carry in my empty life."
