[The whole novel is already written, so you can add it to your reading list now!!!]

The first time Chu Xia met Lin Yang, she thought he was a sweet guy who couldn't say no to girls.

But after class, she saw the so-called "sweet guy" in her eyes coldly toss another girl's love letter into the trash.

Chu Xia: "???"

The second time Chu Xia met Lin Yang, the boy was wearing a school uniform washed so many times it had faded. She felt sorry for him and decided she would pay for his meals from then on.

Then one day, she saw Lin Yang step out of a stretch limousine. The butler behind him respectfully handed him a lunchbox. "Young master, here's your lunch."

Chu Xia: "..."

The third time Chu Xia met Lin Yang, a group of delinquents had cornered him at the mouth of an alley. The boy coldly pulled out a few hundred-yuan bills and handed them to the person in front of him.

Chu Xia's sense of justice flared. She grabbed a stick and charged forward. Just as the other person's fist was about to land on her, everything blurred before her eyes. By the time she came to her senses, Lin Yang had one foot on the delinquent and was saying coldly, "Get lost."

Chu Xia: "???..."

Lin Yang thought life was meaningless. After an argument with his parents, he boarded a bus alone.

Suddenly, a head popped in from the seat beside him. The girl asked what she should do about her bloated stomach.

Later, he took off his headphones and put them on the ears of "that strange girl."

His diet was strictly supervised by the butler, so he rarely ate at the school cafeteria.

But one day, "that vaguely familiar girl" suddenly set a tray of food on his desk and said, "Lin Yang, I'll look after you from now on. Just tell me what you want to eat."

After that, all sorts of snacks would often show up on his desk.

Lin Yang hated violence, so when delinquents cornered him, he usually paid them off to make them leave.

But that day, the girl named Chu Xia was clearly terrified, yet she stood in front of him with a wooden stick and shouted, "Don't be afraid, Lin Yang! I'll protect you."

In that moment, he seemed to see a light shining around her.

Chu Xia thought Lin Yang had been acting strangely lately.

He used to ignore her, but suddenly he wanted to treat her to a meal.

After downing a few cups of milk tea, Chu Xia felt she had reached the peak of her life.

Then the boy suddenly asked, "What kind of guy do you like?"

Chu Xia tilted her head and thought for a moment before answering seriously, "I like guys who get good grades."

Later, the boy who used to rank near the bottom of the school showed up in front of her holding a perfect-score test paper. He said gently, "Chu Xia, I heard you like me?"

Chu Xia: "???"
