The Carbonated Crisis Clinic Log

In early spring, Wen Zhao, reading in a corner, happened to see Jiang Jun getting into a brawl.

Cruel and vicious.

After it was over, the man walked over and snatched her book.

"If you don’t want trouble, stay away."

The next day, Wen Zhao went to Jiang Jun to get her book back.

The man narrowed his eyes and gave her an amused look for a while, then tossed her a hundred yuan. "Go buy another one."

Wen Zhao said, "You read my book, so you owe me interest."

Jiang Jun snorted. "Let’s hear it."

Wen Zhao said, "You protect me."

Jiang Jun thought, Where did this clueless idiot come from?

At the end of winter, the wind behind Jicheng Vocational and Technical College was sharp and bitter, like a knife against the face.

In the dim light of the thin moon, the man lowered his head.

His voice was soft, amused. "There you go, being fierce again."

Wen Zhao rolled her eyes at him, slapped a bandage onto his forehead, opened a bottle of soda, and sat down on the stone steps.

The fizz in the night air made her blood inexplicably boil.

Jiang Jun sat beside her, grabbed the drink, and took a gulp. "You really plan to transfer to Jiaotong University? Can you get in?"

Wen Zhao said, "I can."

Jiang Jun said, "If I don’t..."

Wen Zhao looked at him, not a trace of hesitation in her icy eyes.

"If you don’t get in, we’re through."

"Will you find someone at your new school to protect you?"

"Yes." Without the slightest hesitation.

He smiled. "Good. Then I can relax."

His long fingers crushed the can. He tossed it into a distant trash can, and amid the clanging impacts, Jiang Jun said:

"Fine. We’ll each have to prove ourselves."

"Wen Zhao, even if we end up apart, don’t forget to crawl your way upward like a dog."

A scheming, selfish, crazy beauty × a cold-faced, madly devoted, insecure man

Two rebels collide, striving their way upward, and flowers bloom in the mud.
