Cold-faced, scheming top student X bold, flashy blond troublemaker
One girl, four guys | Both inexperienced | Campus | Mild coercion | Female-led
What was the relationship between Shi Mosheng and Lu Ang, students at Nanshi No. 8 High School? They had nothing to do with each other.
Shi Mosheng ranked first in her year. With her icy expression that kept everyone at a distance, she was the perfect student. Lu Ang ranked near the bottom, got into trouble with his blond hair, and was the subject of endless love letters and rumors. He was every teacher's worst headache.
Nobody thought the two of them would ever have anything to do with each other.
Then the college entrance exams were over, and all the pent-up seniors started dyeing and perming their hair. Lu Ang, however, dyed his blond hair black.
The boy in the photo had thick brows and bright eyes. Without his frivolous blond hair, he looked strikingly dashing. The beauty mark beneath his eye lent him an extra air of arrogance, making him even more outrageously handsome.
"Bro Ang, giving up the blond hair and turning over a new leaf?" a friend teased in a private message.
Lu Ang didn't reply. Instead, he posted another photo of the two of them on his social media, with the caption: I listen to my girlfriend.
Their WeChat accounts were immediately bombarded with messages.
Shi Mosheng looked through Lu Ang's phone. The messages were all pretty much what she expected:
"Bro Ang, how'd you win over the goddess? Give us a tutorial!"
"What the hell! When did you get together with Shi Mosheng?"
"Man, you're incredible. There really isn't a woman you can't win over!"
And, of course, there were a few messages of "brotherly affection":
"I #%￥ you &@#! You knew I've had a crush on Shi Mosheng for three years!"
She turned her head. Lu Ang was beside her, crying and trembling.
That was his punishment for announcing their relationship without asking her.
Shi Mosheng smiled, her expression calm as she pressed the remote and turned the dial up another notch.

Actually, there had been signs of their relationship all along.
After the New Year's Eve party during their senior year, the four girls in Dorm 453 couldn't sleep and chatted about this and that.
"What kind of girl do you think Lu Ang will end up with? He's so handsome, and his family is rich."
"Who knows? His grades are awful, and he doesn't seem to have much of a future. But he's a rich kid, so maybe he'll just play around forever?"
"With that face, tons of women must like him! Let's just hope he doesn't make some honest girl take responsibility for his mess!"
Shi Mosheng lay in bed reading an e-book, paying no attention to her roommates' gossip.
One of them looked up and asked, "Mosheng, what do you think? What kind of girl will a rich, handsome bad boy like Lu Ang end up with?"
"Lu Ang?" Her lashes lowered slightly, her tone casual. "A rich kid like him, who has no ability to hold on to his money, should just marry a capable woman and live comfortably, shouldn't he?"
Her roommates all said Shi Mosheng had a sharp tongue. Someone as arrogant and brazen as Lu Ang would never agree to be under anyone's thumb.
Everyone assumed she was joking and let the subject drop.
They just never expected that the capable woman Shi Mosheng had mentioned was herself.
In fact, before she'd even said those words, she'd already set her sights on that flashy, brazen bad student.
But nobody would ever know that this notorious blond troublemaker had once been bullied beneath the school's great banyan tree by this model student until he was sobbing uncontrollably.
