An Autumn Without Falling Leaves

A chuunibyou genius heroine who is a master dog trainer x a seemingly aloof but secretly puppy-like male lead with a crush

Ji Yu decided to transfer schools in her senior year of high school.

There were no melodramatic twists in her dull high school life, just five hundred thousand yuan in cash right in front of her.

Known: She had ranked first in the whole city for two consecutive years.

Known: She had turned down a recommendation based on competition results and planned to take the college entrance exam.

Conclusion: A top-scorer in the making!!! A Peking or Tsinghua prospect!!!

As soon as her sophomore year ended, transfer invitations came pouring in from high schools all over. Ji Yu was hesitant, wavering, and uneasy.

But looking at the kindly-faced director in front of her and the contract in black and white on the desk,

Ji Yu found it hard not to smile.

In the information-starved world of high school, there are usually only three ways to become famous:

1. Top the rankings for years, with excellent and consistent grades.

2. Have a face that could earn you a living.

3. Do something so earth-shattering people will talk about it for a thousand years!

As it happened, Ji Yu had excellent grades, was beautiful, and had been disciplined for fighting in her first year. Thanks to her distinctive name, rumors about her were already spreading like wildfire in all kinds of school chat groups before she officially transferred.

Ji Yu... took it very well.

In fact, on the first day of school, she saw a certain desk mate sitting in the classroom with a cool expression, though his ears had turned red with embarrassment, and smiled even more broadly.

Chu Xiu had complicated feelings about Ji Yu.

First came the youthful pride of refusing to lose to her at summer camp, then the embarrassment of being teased and messed with by this shameless person, and later the bewilderment when she got into a fight and ended up in the hospital in her sophomore year to defend her desk mate.

Ji Yu was always vivid and passionate, standing calmly at the very front.

She was at a height no one else could reach.

When he learned she had refused to pursue a competition-based recommendation, Chu Xiu thought she was arrogant, but it also felt entirely in character.

When he learned she was transferring to his school, Chu Xiu... cursed her out, but was also a little happy.

He secretly despised himself, thinking he must have gone crazy to be happy about it.

Only later did Chu Xiu learn that there was an emotion called love.

On the day his confession was accepted, he buried his face against Ji Yu's shoulder and cried uncontrollably, but still clutched the hem of her clothes, not daring to let go even a little.

Basically, the fun everyday life of a liberal arts class + a sweet, comforting romance between a couple.

Please note:

1. The protagonist has a bit of talent, but works even harder.

2. The high school setting is loosely based on four particular provinces, so the protagonists face somewhat heavier academic pressure.

3. The characters are not perfect!!! The protagonist gets emotional, gets too tired to reason, and can calmly declare halfway through studying that she is going to blow up the whole world!!!

4. The male lead falls for the heroine first. They begin dating after becoming adults.

5. One-on-one romance, both leads' firsts.

Theme: Study hard and keep improving every day.
