Run Again and I'll Break Your Legs

Lin Jiu always thought that after missing her chance back then, she would never see Jiang Jin again.

Until one day, she happened to open the financial news and saw a rising investment banker who had recently returned to China and was already attracting a great deal of media attention.

Lin Jiu had seen him on the news many times. He emerged from a black Bentley, bending down as he got out. Even when reporters swarmed him, he stood tall, not a single strand of hair out of place.

Then, after the police helped Lin Jiu out of a car, a man in a suit dismounted from a motorcycle that had appeared from who knew where, amid the roar of its engine. He strode over to her and yelled, "Lin Jiu, who told you to get in some other man's car?"

After years apart, Lin Jiu ran into an old acquaintance again amid utter chaos, and even got to witness this rising investment banker's rare loss of composure.

School-days version:

Lin Jiu has no great ambitions. For years, she's happily coasted through school in an ordinary class. Then, in her senior year, her parents use their connections to dump her into an unfamiliar advanced class, where she ends up sitting next to the school's top student, who can solve problems faster than she can even with her eyes shut.

The top student, Jiang Jin, has monolids, pale skin, and stands 186 centimeters tall. His blue-and-white uniform is always neatly buttoned up to his chest. He's the undisputed campus heartthrob, but a little cold. Unless he knows you well, he rarely says more than three words at a time. His usual replies are "Mm" and "Suit yourself."

A horrified Lin Jiu: Help, I'm a chatterbox.

Content warning: Reunited after a long separation, the male lead suffers a little! But it's very sweet.

The synopsis may be adjusted slightly.

Theme: Don't shut me up. I'm learning.
