"Xia Li, next time you leave, remember to tell me. Don't make me wait again."
*An energetic, unruly art student who is anything but graceful VS a cold, rebellious science genius

The word "quiet" has never seemed to describe Xia Li. As her dad puts it, she acts like her butt is on fire, as if there are fleas running all over her.
To cure Xia Li of her habit of climbing all over the house, her parents decided to give it a try. When she was four, they sat her down in front of a piano.
Amazingly, Xia Li was unexpectedly well-behaved and showed remarkable talent for playing the piano.
She told her parents that one day, she would become a pianist!
Before long, Xia Li gained her first audience member.
The boy next door was called Jiang Yiming. Xia Li noticed that whenever she practiced piano, he would quietly climb over from his balcony and crouch by her window to listen.
But Xia Li didn't like him very much.
How could someone so young already have a poker face? Why was he pretending to be an adult?
But his whole family was like that, gloomy all day long, with faces longer than a donkey's, as if someone owed them millions.
Until one day, Xia Li discovered Jiang Yiming's little secret.
-
To keep his secret safe, Jiang Yiming dutifully bought Xia Li breakfast for eight years to keep her in his good graces.
He couldn't think of a better way.
Jiang Yiming prided himself on being rational and composed, always able to solve every problem without breaking a sweat.
But later, he realized that whenever Xia Li was involved, he became flustered and clueless, completely unable to control how things unfolded.
