Blazing Flame

Everyone at No. 17 High School knows Xu Jiahui is not someone to mess with. Beneath her polite, well-mannered exterior lies a hair-trigger temper. She can smile while splashing someone's face with Sprite, and she can stand her ground against the boss of Jinnan High without batting an eye, a broken bottle in hand. Until one night, when she met Zhu Ci at a barbecue stall. The boy lounged in a plastic chair, his peach-blossom eyes half closed, an air of weary gloom around him that warned strangers to keep their distance. Xu Jiahui didn't hesitate. She grabbed a bottle of mineral water and hurled it at him. Only later did she learn that he wasn't just the mysterious transfer student from Jinnan. He'd also just moved in next door to her. Even more absurdly, her unreliable childhood friend had written Zhu Ci a love letter in her name. Jiang Zhi'ao stood outside No. 17 High School, clutching a pink, rhinestone-studded hair clip. "Xu Jiahui! You like Brother Ci too?" Xu Jiahui: ??? Jiang Zhi'ao wept like a flower in the rain. "Let's compete fairly!" Zhu Ci sauntered over, his peach-blossom eyes curving into a smile. "There's no need to compete." He looked at Xu Jiahui, the corner of his mouth lifting. "Your name was signed at the bottom of the love letter, so I accepted." Xu Jiahui took a deep breath and picked up the beer bottle beside her. "Accepted my foot."
