Mu Huaichen always thought that he and the airborne student council president Gu Yunshen were two different types of people.
One relied on his strength to secure the top spot in his grade, while the other relied on his background to land easily.
After being forced to live together, he saw with his own eyes that the other party used the competition questions that he had pondered over on instant noodles and wrote down three better solutions.
Mu Huaichen's hand holding the perfect score paper felt a little shaky for the first time.
On the battlefield that he was so proud of, the opponent seemed to be fighting effortlessly.
What made him lose control even more was that late one night, Gu Yunshen took away the wrong question book that he had stayed up late to sort out, and pointed his fingertips on the question that he repeatedly made mistakes.
"This question," the man's voice sounded slightly hoarse as he just woke up, and his breath fell on his ear, "the idea is wrong. Also, the way you grit your teeth -"
"It's ten thousand times more interesting than pretending to be lazy."
From being "forced to live together" to "voluntary accomplice", Mu Huaichen only spent seventy-three days - and countless pretended to look at each other casually.
Later, the whole class got used to it: the notes of the first grader were always in the second hand, and the back of the president on the lock screen could only be that idiot pretending to sleep on the basketball court.
Intention: Growth and redemption, you give me sunshine, I give you back the stars
