A Bite of Spring

A new transfer student has arrived at Nanwai.

A buzz cut, fiercely good at fighting, rumored to be an excellent student, and pretty as a snowman. Most importantly, she's a girl.

On the day she transferred, Su Xiao bent the hearts of a whole crowd of boys and girls.

All of Nanwai was saying: The weather's turning cold. Time for a new boss.

The current boss, Chi Yan, was unimpressed.

Then the transfer student became his new deskmate, and that very night she moved straight into his house.

Even more unexpectedly, his new deskmate, who was as cold as an ice pop at school, stared at him for a while, narrowed her eyes, and softly called him, "Big brother."

Chi Yan suddenly felt an itch in his back teeth.

Some troublemaking friends, eager to watch the drama, asked, "Between the top student and the school heartthrob, Yan, which one are you ready to give up your title for?"

Chi Yan watched his new deskmate's profile as she earnestly worked through problems for a long moment, then coolly and arrogantly shot back, "Neither."

But then, one day, in a secluded grove late at night, Chi Yan cornered Su Xiao behind a tree and coaxed her in a low voice: "Let me kiss you once, and I'll give you both the school heartthrob title and first place."

Su Xiao rose onto her toes and kissed him, holding him in place. "Let me kiss you once, and I'll give you first place. The school heartthrob is mine."

Then came the final exams. Su Xiao: 709, first in her grade.

Chi Yan: What? I lost both the person and the title?

Su Xiao: I'm first in the grade, so you're mine. You're the school heartthrob, so you're mine.

Everyone said that Su Xiao was pretty, sure, but too cold. A girl with a buzz cut looked hard to approach.

But only Chi Yan knew how that little ice pop slowly melted in his arms on countless nights no one else knew about, clinging to his arm with red-rimmed eyes as she called him "Big brother."

So lovable, he'd give her his life if she asked.

You are my bravest knight, and also the intoxicating poison I can't resist.

A cool girl who's a little aloof and a little sweet (but only to the male lead) VS a dazzling guy who's good at everything and number one at being a BKING.
