Xie Cheng, the notorious bully of No. 2 High School, was cocky and foul-mouthed, and dared to mess with anyone. That is, until the new transfer student, Jiang Yan, brought him to heel.
One was rebellious and carefree, the other cool and taciturn. Forced to share a desk, they couldn't stand each other.
Xie Cheng: This guy is harder to deal with than a textbook.
Jiang Yan: This guy is noisier than cicadas.
Then, at an intersection on the way home from school, a group of thugs cornered Xie Cheng. Without a word, Jiang Yan stepped forward and shielded him from their malice.
Only then did Xie Cheng see how fiercely this aloof iceberg protected his own.
Jiang Yan, too, realized that beneath this arrogant school bully's prickly facade was someone who had simply gotten used to hiding himself.
A bickering pair, always at odds.
Two boys carrying their own family wounds slowly heal each other through noisy companionship,
going from clashing at every turn to becoming each other's one and only.
"From now on, I'll protect you."
"Mm. I'll help you with your studies."
Cool, aloof top student × rebellious school bully
