During summer vacation in eighth grade, his mother sent him to a poor rural village for some hard labor and discipline. Little did anyone expect him to become the village kids' fearsome leader in no time, with a whole gang of underlings. He never picked on girls, but his underlings didn't know better. After causing trouble for a few days, they set their sights on Zhu Wan, a quiet, soft-spoken, petite girl. Zhu Wan was easily frightened. A few threats were enough to make her faint from nerves. When she woke up, Zhou Yuchen was sitting beside her. Zhu Wan trembled with fear. "D-don't bully me..." Zhou Yuchen casually picked up the blanket she'd shaken off and tucked it around her again. With a roguish grin, he said, "How did I bully you? Don't you know I carried you back from outside? You little brat." Their reunion in high school The cool, rebellious, aloof heartthrob everyone at No. 3 High talked about seemed like a completely different person. Zhou Yuchen got jealous, and Zhu Wan went home by herself, leaving the little tyrant behind to sulk in class. Zhou Yuchen: "I'm writing up a breakup contract tonight! Tomorrow, I'll make her sign it, even if I have to hold her head down!" His buddy tried not to laugh. "Hey, Brother Chen, don't be mad, don't be mad, you little brat." A minute later, Zhou Yuchen's temper had completely cooled. "I'm going to check on her. I don't feel right letting her walk home alone." He followed behind her, holding back all the way. Unable to resist any longer, he pulled the little thing into his arms and kissed her as if venting his frustration, holding her close as they both panted softly. Zhu Wan's eyes turned red with embarrassment. Her voice was soft. "Be gentle..." Zhou Yuchen's voice was hoarse. "I can't help it." Whenever a passing boy so much as glanced at her, he immediately wrapped her up in his arms so no one could see her, then snapped, "What are you looking at? This girl is mine!" tips: 1. A roguishly handsome, tough, top-student hero X a delicate, soft, top-student heroine 2. No angst throughout the story, no melodramatic separation, and no breakup after graduation. The parents only help them get together, never get in the way. They'll be sweet and happy right to the end. 3. The main story is set at school, a sweet romance with plenty of flirting.

[Suave, wicked top-student childhood friend X spoiled, scatterbrained childhood sweetheart] Mutual crushes A chatty junior girl started sitting beside the aloof student council president, who kept everyone at arm's length. She pushed all the worksheets she couldn't do in front of him, then started snacking as if no one else were there. Their classmates were stunned. "Where did this little menace come from? Doesn't she value her life?" His friend teased, "Yeah, she's his own daughter." "No, she's obviously his child bride!" Shi Luo looked embarrassed on the surface, but secretly couldn't stop grinning. They were engaged, after all, and she'd been clinging to his side since they were little. - On her birthday, her ears red, she made a wish: "I hope Tang Qishen grabs me by the waist and pins me against the wall to kiss me!" Tang Qishen: "...Get a grip." The little menace held a grudge and loudly declared that she wanted to break off their engagement and stop hanging around him. Their classmates noticed that the aloof big shot looked lost, and personally came to pick her up after school every single day. Later, the big shot was invited to share his study tips. A younger student asked, "Now that you're a college freshman, what's been your biggest challenge?" Tang Qishen: "Trying to tutor the little menace in her senior-year studies, and having to beg her to let me." Everyone in the audience turned to look at Shi Luo, whose face had gone bright red, and quietly started shipping them. Tang Qishen stepped down from the podium and asked softly, "When the college entrance exams are over, shall I take you to an island?" Shi Luo blushed. "I'm not going!" Tang Qishen: "My roommate said we should bring our significant others, so I..." Shi Luo: "Fine, I'll humor you and play along!" After the college entrance exams, in the student council office. Tang Qishen pulled her into his arms, his voice low and husky. "There's something I've wanted to do for a long time." He lowered his head and gently kissed her lips, then said calmly, "I'm making your birthday wish come true." Outside the door, a younger student dropped what he was holding. "Sorry to interrupt. Didn't see a thing. I'm gone." That night, the school forum exploded. #My friend says he wants to see a picture of the president kissing someone!!# #Aaaaaah, my ship is real!!!!# #My ship is the sweetest in the world!!!# Theme:
