38.6 Degrees

Cool and aloof on the outside, flirtatious and talented teenage boy VS cold, withdrawn, disillusioned girl

[Blurb 1]

On the first day of her second year of high school, Lin Qi watched a boy leaning against the doorway, his whole being radiating a faint air of indifference. He lazily cleared his throat. "Present." His voice was clean yet magnetic. She paused, her heart stirring, then calmly looked away. She never imagined that one glance would give him free rein to run wild in her world.

On the second day of their second year, Miao Jin happened to glance at the girl diagonally in front of him. Her little head rested on her arm, and, afraid the teacher might catch her sleeping, she fluttered her eyelashes consciously. Without meaning to, she made a small ripple in his heart. His gaze lingered for a moment, then he lowered his eyes as if nothing had happened. He never imagined that one glance would make him fall for her.

It was a national youth basketball tournament, but the atmosphere around No. 1 High School's basketball team was very strange. The players stared blankly at the two people approaching them, their mouths hanging open wide enough to fit an egg. The boy wore a sleeveless team uniform, leaving the contours of his arm muscles on full display. His loose-fitting jersey did nothing to hide his fine physique, and it was hard not to admire him. A small spot on the corner of his lip had been split. He showed no sign of it on his face, but his eyes gleamed with smug amusement. Everyone followed their interlaced fingers and shifted their gaze to the girl standing beside him. Her face was so red it looked ready to drip blood, and the flush reached all the way to her ears. Their eyes naturally fell on a little red mark on the fair skin of her neck beneath her earlobe. Her lips were red and swollen, like a blooming rose in all its vivid glory.
