.

Awarded Best Deskmate, Ying Lin and Xu Xiao give their opinions of each other.

Xu Xiao says, "If I had to compare you to a flower, I'd say a rose."

Ying Lin is surprised. "Are you saying I'm delicate, beautiful, and lovely as a flower? Thank you, thank you."

Xu Xiao: "The rose with a tiger in its heart."

Ying Lin smiles. "I'd describe you differently. You're a cute and charming..."

Xu Xiao: "A campus celebrity? You're too kind."

Ying Lin: "...villain, President Xu."

.

Xu Xiao runs into trouble and is saved by a beautiful cosplayer passing by. He is instantly smitten, can't forget her, and makes her his idealized crush.

After doing a good deed, Ying Lin changes out of her cosplay outfit, only to turn around and see Xu Xiao glaring coldly at her. ...You don't recognize me just because I'm wearing a different secret identity?

Xu Xiao, student council president at No. 3 High School, is talented and arrogant. He used to look down on everyone. Unfortunately, he failed to recognize his idealized crush and had to endure a grueling pursuit. The specks of dust that once got in his eyes all became stones in his way to winning the girl of his dreams.

.

When he was young and reckless, Xu Xiao laid down three rules for Ying Lin: "Let's stay out of each other's way. Don't meddle in my business."

When he said that, Xu Xiao never imagined that one day he would cling to Ying Lin and refuse to let go. "Ying Lin, your beloved boyfriend is so jealous he's about to burst. If you don't do something, someone is going to die."

Next story: "The Sunset We Share"

.

Jiang Sitang has worked on problems until she's barely conscious and has lost all hope. Anger gives her courage, and she demands of Chen Ziyu, "Tell me, how much would it take for you to transplant your brain into me? I've got plenty of money, so name your price."

With his head buried in a mountain of problems, Chen Ziyu doesn't even look up. "First, we'd have to clear out all the useless mush in your head. Otherwise, there'd be nowhere to put the knowledge I'm transplanting."

Unless she could be remade from scratch, there was no hope at all! Jiang Sitang lets out a despairing sigh and bangs her head on the desk.

.

"Chen Ziyu, I'm three hundred points behind you," she says. "I'm trying, but it's too hard, and it's too late. I make a little progress, and you get even further ahead. It feels like I'll never catch up."

Chen Ziyu keeps writing, his voice calm. "I'm also three million behind you. The gap is huge, and time is running out. Even if I slow down just a little, I feel like I won't make it in time."

.

Ah.

Jiang Sitang shakes her head. "But I don't have those three hundred points, or those three million. Our family..."

"I know." Chen Ziyu cuts her off, eyes lowered to the exam paper. Calmly, he says, "But I want you to have all of it."

.

One evening at seventeen, before night study, Jiang Sitang lies on her desk and sees the most beautiful sunset of her life.

The slanting rays bathe Chen Ziyu in a warm glow. He leans toward her, carrying the future with him, his pen blossoming into flowers across the exam paper.

.

A brilliant student from a poor family x a rich, struggling student; everyone else's good kid x the rumored bad girl.

An innocent age, a slow passage of time, stories from a small town. They make it through turbulent youth and join hands to share all their days and nights.
