[Blurb]

Question: Why are you still single?

Fu Qinghan: /smiles Because I don't date anyone with worse grades than me.

He scored 720 on the national college entrance exam, ranking first in his province and earning admission to Tsinghua. Two years after entering the entertainment industry, he became the youngest actor to win all three major awards.

Netizens: Sorry to bother you. I'm not worthy.

When Fu Qinghan was young, he was a bit of a show-off. Whenever a girl confessed to him, he shot her down with one line: "I don't date anyone with worse grades than me."

He'd used this excuse for years, and it had never failed him.

The day Song Yu planned to give him a love letter, she heard him say it. She glanced at her exam paper with its score of 20, burst into tears, and ran home.

Fu Qinghan never imagined that the girl he liked had been secretly in love with him all along, and had vowed to get better grades than him.

Later...

Fu Qinghan: Seriously, believe me. One person with good grades in the family is enough.

Song Yu: I think I can still work harder.

Fu Qinghan: ...

(Whispering: Some things can't be achieved just by working hard, but you can have me without even trying.)

#One careless boast, then a long road to winning her back# #My secret crush ran away after seeing my grades# #Cool and refined on the outside, shamelessly flirtatious in private#
