Yi Shu fell in love at first sight with the new boy next door when she was sixteen.
She followed him around every day, even patiently listening in her most hated math class.
Bai Wen was an exceptionally gentle and refined person. As soon as he transferred to No. 6 High School, plenty of girls considered him a romantic prospect.
Yi Shu first realized how popular Bai Wen was when she saw a girl gazing at him with stars in her eyes. A sense of crisis quietly rose in her heart. So she privately sought him out and earnestly said, "Brother Bai Wen, you're in your final year of high school. You need to focus on your studies. You can't date, understand?"
He smiled and agreed, making Yi Shu happy. It never crossed her mind that those words would later become the very ones Bai Wen used to reject her.
Bai Wen finished his university entrance exams just in time for Yi Shu's seventeenth birthday. She worked up the courage to confess her feelings to him, only to receive a cold response: "You're in your final year of high school. You need to focus on your studies..."
After that, they vanished from each other's worlds.
Later, at a university orientation event, someone asked Yi Shu, "Bai Wen just spoke to you. What's your relationship?"
"Bai Wen? I don't know him..."
Bai Wen happened to hear her say she didn't know him, and a wave of anger surged in his heart. He pulled her into an empty corner, his expression dark, and gritted his teeth. "You don't know me? Yi Shu, you've forgotten me so quickly! You're so naughty..."
Yi Shu only smiled and used the same commanding tone Bai Wen had once used to reject her. "Do we know each other, senior?"
He held her pinned against him. His soft laugh sounded above her, and when she looked up, she saw his dark, bloodshot eyes.
- Male lead's perspective -
Bai Wen thought that after all this time, he had long since stopped caring. But when he saw Yi Shu again, love grew wildly in his heart, and he realized that what he had thought was in the past had merely been something he had buried deep inside to deceive himself.
When he heard her say, "I don't know you," a demon started howling in his mind. In the end, unable to hold back, he kissed her with red-rimmed eyes...

One day, Yi's mother called: "Sweetheart, if calculus is too hard, go ask your Brother Bai Wen for help."
Bai Wen leaned over her, speaking softly into her ear. "Sweetheart, tell your mother you understand."
Yi Shu: "O-okay."
Bai Wen picked up a copy of Advanced Mathematics from the bedside table and brought it over. He made her tilt her head up to look at him. "Come on, sweetheart. Learn with me..."
SC, 1v1
The male lead has a reason for rejecting the female lead, which will be explained later.
High school in the early part, university later. Their relationship is undefined during high school.
