At first, Jiang Ge thought of her only as a pretty classmate who played a hostage in the school performance. He never expected Jian Shutong to be so single-minded about pursuing him.
He'd always had people chasing after him, but this girl was kind of fun.
She played little tricks that he easily saw through, and the way she secretly delighted in herself was adorable.
Once, he happened to flip through her diary and saw how she'd racked her brains for schemes to get his attention. He found it adorable. He couldn't bring himself to expose her, and he enjoyed playing along.
Maybe secretly enjoying it wasn't very decent, but
Jiang Ge: If I call her out, she might cry. Never mind.
Then, one day after they started dating
Jian Shutong knelt on his bed wearing only a skimpy piece of fabric. Her lotus-root arms reached behind her as she struggled to fasten the black clasp. She looked at him with a helpless, pitiful expression and asked him to fasten her bra.
"How dare you, Jian Shutong?"
"You know, everything you do is really obvious," he confessed in her ear.
Jian Shutong didn't panic at all. Bracing one hand against the bed, she leaned in and kissed the corner of his mouth.
Her eyes curved, her expression still sweetly innocent.
"I know."
"I thought you really were that clueless."

1. Being calculating isn't a bad thing. A little self-serving scheming that doesn't hurt anyone can make life more enjoyable.
2. I only happened to see her diary and glanced at a few pages. Anyone who reads someone else's diary will step in dog poop on their way out!
