A secret gossip forum at No. 1 High School The top student Si Jiang and the honor student Bei Sisi have long dominated the list of topics: The two people at No. 1 High School least likely to become a couple As soon as he started at No. 1 High School, Si Jiang made Bei Sisi the model of what not to do during military training. In quizzes, monthly exams, major exams, every kind of test, he kept her firmly in second place. He never even let her get her head above the water. From then on, pushing Si Jiang down to second place became Bei Sisi's goal for all three years of high school.

When Si Jiang went to great lengths to find the collection of practice problems Bei Sisi had been longing for and tried to give it to her, Bei Sisi: Are you mocking me for knowing nothing but how to do practice problems? Bei Sisi: Or are you so confident that even after I finish them, I still won't be your match? Si Jiang: ... Everyone thought Bei Sisi and Si Jiang couldn't stand each other.

The eldest daughter of the Rong family, Rong Zi, is a joke at No. 1 High School. Her grades are awful, and she got into school by donating a building. She has no ambition or shame, and chases after the aloof genius Jiang Cheng like a fool. No matter how coldly or hatefully Jiang Cheng treats her, even if he openly despises her, she'll smile as if it doesn't matter and cling to him again the next day. Rong Zi: Jiang Cheng, I brought you breakfast. Fried dough sticks and soy milk, steamed buns and congee, sandwiches, anything you want. What would you like? Jiang Cheng: Thanks, I don't eat breakfast. Rong Zi: How can you skip breakfast? Just have a little~ Jiang Cheng: No, thanks. Jiang Cheng took a step back to avoid Rong Zi, then walked away coldly. Later, the Rong family declared bankruptcy, buried in debt. Overnight, Rong Zi fell to the lowest point in her life and experienced the harsh realities of human nature. Only then did she realize that, whether in the past or now, she had never been worthy of chasing that unattainable moon. When she saw Jiang Cheng again, everyone waited to see whether Miss Rong, with no family wealth left to rely on, could still throw money around to make the unattainable flower speak to her. Instead, all they saw was Rong Zi bowing to Jiang Cheng and apologizing. I was too young to know better. I won't bother you again. I'm sorry. Nobody who had seen how desperately and obsessively Rong Zi loved Jiang Cheng believed it. But in the end, they really never saw Rong Zi approach Jiang Cheng again. Instead, the aloof flower began finding excuses to run into Rong Zi again and again. Later, someone saw Jiang Cheng clutching Rong Zi's hand, his eyes red as he begged her: Zi Zi, please look back at me. Rong Zi refused coldly: Mr. Jiang, please don't get in the way of me earning money to pay off my debts. The people at No. 1 High School realized Jiang Cheng had gone mad. The way Miss Rong had once tried every means to cling to him and chase after him, he now pursued her and clung to her ten or a hundred times as fiercely. But Rong Zi's answer was always the same cold turn of her back. Theme: In high school, young men and women pursue their dreams and realize their own worth
