Cold, aloof, secretly flirtatious, sharp-tongued fake underachiever x arrogant, flamboyant, conceited class-bottom student
After transferring schools, Cheng Jinse is placed in Class 5 of his sophomore year, the "loser quarantine zone." He's a top student among top students, but because of a scandal about hitting a teacher, everyone mistakes him for a deadbeat. When he gets a high score, they suspect him of cheating. The teacher summons him to the little black room for questioning and threatens to call his parents.
The school bully who sits beside him keeps telling him to stop pretending to be a good student. "It's no use. Quit putting on an act. The teachers know what you're really like. Why get up so early to go to class? It's not like you study."
Cheng Jinse: "I'm going to practice the flower-hand dance in class."
He remains trapped beneath the word "wronged" until the school hangs a banner reading, "Cheng Jinse wins the XXX Award and is admitted to Tsinghua University."
The top student's excessive attention to his new deskmate makes his lovesick underling suspect he's been turned by good looks.
School bully: Is your head full of shit? I'm made of iron, and I'd rather break than bend...
But later, the school bully starts spending his days flirting in all sorts of ways.
Cheng Jinse: We're people with important things to do. Don't let good looks distract you.
Sheng Huainian: You're my important thing, a very important thing. You're the thing I want to devote my whole life to.
Cheng Jinse: ...Then you can think about it.
One-on-one + happy ending. Please read respectfully, and don't flame if it's not your thing!
