Childhood friends | A secret crush comes true | Reunited after years apart | University debate
A pretty, tsundere sweetheart who gets away with anything x a refined, wicked, scheming bad boy

Xu Tinghuan hates summer.
But summer always arrives uninvited.
Like a certain someone.

Three years after blocking Chu Weizhou, Xu Tinghuan never expected to meet him again like this.
During the start-of-term season, Beijia University's debate team's exhibition match is packed to the rafters.
The handsome, sharp-tongued fourth speaker on the opposing team is the undisputed best debater, a poor but popular campus heartthrob at the center of everyone's attention.
And yet Xu Tinghuan can't bring herself to act casual.
The rain at this time of year is just as sudden, pouring down in torrents, just like her turbulent emotions, threatening to drown everything.
But the unexpected visitor is something else entirely.
He catches up to her and coaxes her, his breath cool and clear, his clothes plain, yet still dazzling. The only thing different is that he seems like a completely different person from the young master of the Chu family who had been preparing to study abroad.
"Hey, junior, can I get your contact info?" In full view of everyone, Chu Weizhou speaks in a detached tone and simply holds out his phone to her. "If you need anything, just come to me."
He pauses, then adds, "For a small fee."
As if this were nothing more than an ordinary poor student's attempt to drum up business.
But the QR code still shows the profile picture and nickname she chose for him.
He has never changed them.
Chu Weizhou is still Chu Weizhou.
Just as annoying as ever.

Chu Weizhou knows himself well: he's no good person.
A handsome face, good grades, and a privileged background might make him shine on the outside, but they can't change his nasty nature.
He also knows that Xu Tinghuan is the complete opposite of him.
Tough on the outside, soft-hearted within, bright and passionate, a true child of heaven.
Xu Tinghuan is simply Xu Tinghuan.
Just as expected.
Three years have passed, but with the groundwork laid, Xu Tinghuan manages to speak first, even if awkwardly.
"If you're really short on money, I've got a job for you. The pay..."
As expected, Chu Weizhou raises an eyebrow and chuckles, quickly picking up the thread. "I am a little short. As for the pay, a small fee will do."
Then he goes and locks all his sports cars and proof of assets away in his estate.
After that, he naturally falls in with Miss Xu.
He becomes her mock-debate opponent, her teammate on the debate team, her errand runner for dates, and even helps her get rid of a few rotten suitors along the way.
A childhood friend they share notices and can't help cursing him out: "You're way too possessive."
Tsk.
Chu Weizhou knows he's no good person, but he won't accept that accusation.
Clearly, someone else is the truly domineering one.
As a child, she only gave him verbal orders: You have to listen to me!
Then, when they grew up, she took it back on her own authority.
So afterward, when Chu Weizhou holds her close and says "a small fee" in all those moments when Xu Tinghuan wants to run but can't, and wins another burst of her sweet scent, it's only fair :-)
