36.9 Degrees Celsius

A female lead who seems like an iceberg but is actually a fragile, pitiful little thing x a male lead who seems like an iceberg but is actually domineering, childish, and clingy

Stream-of-consciousness blurb:

Ice melts into water at 0 degrees Celsius. How long will it take us to truly fall in love?

If a person's body temperature during passionate love is 37.2 degrees Celsius, the upper limit of normal human body temperature according to medicine, then I hope our temperature when we're in love is 36.9 degrees.

I hope our relationship will be a normal, vibrant love.

I look forward to seeing who I become when you love me, and to loving you.

The proper blurb:

This is a love story about two fake icebergs. More or less, it's also about healing.

Ever since getting into Qingshui No. 1 High School, Lu Rendong has consistently ranked second in her grade, year after year.

The top spot is just as firmly held by Lu Weiran, the top student and school bully in the class next door.

She doesn't see him as her archenemy in life or anything, but his presence is so strong that she can't help following him with her gaze.

At the start of their second year, Lu Rendong knocks on the door of the next-door classroom. "Excuse me, is Lu Weiran here?"

Lu Weiran is just about to put on his headphones and play a game. Hearing her, he stands up, his eyes cool and brows knitted, looking a little impatient. "You're looking for me?"

With an equally icy expression, she nods. "Yeah. There's a relationship I'd like to discuss with you."

The next day, all of Qingshui is shocked: the two famous icebergs are together!

[Reader's Guide]

1. This isn't a typical school story. Though it's short, the setting changes often.

2. Overall, it's a sweet little story. A tiny bit of angst is no big deal (runs away).

3. The female lead has psychological trauma, so she's a little awkward.

4. Some supporting characters have a boys' love storyline, but it won't be covered much here and won't affect the main plot.

5. Apart from definitions everyone knows, the psychology-related plot points are things I looked up on Baidu and then made up (scholarly readers, please spare my life).

6. The supporting characters are generally lovable plot devices. Everything serves the story and the padding (?).

I hope you little darlings enjoy this idea!
