The year Chu Xi turned sixteen, she became the talk of the whole school after attracting a swarm of admirers. Everyone knew about it.
Her "younger sister" poured it on: "Dad, you have no idea. The guy chasing Sister is not only handsome, tall, and dashing, he's also a useless bully who throws his weight around!"
Her stepmother offered "kind" comfort: "You should say a little less. Can't you see your sister already knows she was wrong?"
Her father lamented: "Xixi, you've always been smart and sensible. How could you lose your head right when you got to high school?"
Chu Xi "admitted her mistake" and sensibly suggested, "Then why don't I transfer schools?"
And so, an unknown transfer student appeared out of nowhere at the best high school in Province B, assigned to Class One of Mingli at Chongde High, where the strongest students gathered. A gust of wind stirred the waters, sending ripples across the pond.
Later, malicious rumors spread by people with an agenda claimed that Chu Xi, the class beauty of Mingli, had transferred from Jiahua because she cared more about romance than her studies. Chu Xi just smiled and paid no attention.
But the boys in Mingli Class 1 were up in arms!
"Since when does some school bully get to claim a connection to our little angel? Does he think our very own Cowherd doesn't exist?"
"Even Mu Mu wasn't interested in him. Is that person who says she's busy dating a school bully kidding?"
After school one day, the legendary Cowherd finally swallowed his pride and blocked his little angel at the gate, refusing to let her leave.
"I heard you weren't interested in me?"
The little angel blinked, then smiled with her lips pressed together.
"Didn't you hear? I only date school bullies!"
The boy suddenly leaned closer, pressing his forehead against hers. His refined features held a smile, and, for once, there was a hint of roguishness in his eyes.
"What kind of bullying do you like? Tell me..."
She had always thought she would never find love, until that clamorous midsummer, when a radiant young man came into her life, bringing warmth with him.
In that moment, the colorful world turned gray. All she could see was the golden light around him, as if he were one with the sun.
This is a sweet little story dressed up in a fresh, lighthearted style. It's shamelessly sweet, sweet enough to make your teeth ache.
The heroine isn't a pushover or a naive, sugary sweetheart.
The hero isn't a puppy-like bad boy or a school bully. He's a rich, handsome young man who keeps a low profile, but can't quite manage it because of his circumstances. (Of course, when it comes to spoiling the heroine, he makes no attempt to be subtle.)
