No Pouting

Blurb One

A soft-spoken girl named Chu Xinyao transfers to Nancheng High School. By coincidence, she becomes deskmates with the school genius, Ji Yucheng.

Looking at the sweet, slightly spacey girl in front of him, Ji Yucheng sighed inwardly. She tears up at the slightest scolding. What am I supposed to do with her?

Then one day after school, he saw with his own eyes his supposedly "too weak to swat a chicken" deskmate take on two people at once, beating a gang of delinquents until they were howling. In her sweet voice, she threatened them: "Call me Daddy!"

And yet, after beating them up, the girl ran over to him, blinked, tugged at his sleeve, and said with tearful eyes, "They were bullying me."

Damn! She's so freaking cute!

Ji Yucheng growled, "...No acting cute!"

Blurb Two

Rising young star Chu Xinyao appeared on the livestream show A Day in My Life. Without any preparation, she brought the crew into her home and spoke easily in front of the cameras, gentle and sweet.

Unexpectedly, a handsome man in a sharp suit slowly came down from the second floor. As he passed Chu Xinyao, he smiled. "You carry on."

For a moment, Chu Xinyao's gentle expression cracked. When did this shameless bastard sneak into her house?

Watching him walk away, she snapped in exasperation, "You old sleazebag."

The comments exploded, and Chu Xinyao's sweet fairy image crumbled.

It didn't take long for netizens to identify the man behind Chu Xinyao as Ji Yucheng, CEO of Baijia Media: a refined, aloof, handsome millionaire who frequently appeared on financial news programs and in business magazines.

Countless haters seized the chance to drag her through the mud. The next day, a flood of scandals surfaced, accusing Chu Xinyao of chasing clout, sucking up to powerful people, and sleeping her way to the top.

That evening, Ji Yucheng posted a clarification on Weibo.

Ji Yucheng V: Pout at me and I'll give you my life @Chu Xinyao

Below it was a photo that looked like it had been taken years ago. The sun was shining, and the girl nestled sweetly in the boy's arms, her smile radiant. It was a picture of peaceful, happy days.
