The Loser

[My writing isn't good enough. I'll talk about this another time.] Ultra-A badass queen · B-king, sweet on the outside and dark within 1. Lu Rong was the big bad of Yucheng No. 1 High: dazzling, bold, and wild. No one had seen her fight, yet legends about her were everywhere. Xie Ran was a professional player in the spotlight: handsome, elegant, and born into privilege. After being driven into retirement by online harassment, he faded from public view. Late at night, in an internet cafe in Yucheng, two kings crossed paths. The delinquents ran their mouths, and Xie Ran fanned the flames with a taunt: "You're so tough. Picking on the cute girl at the front desk?" The atmosphere froze in an instant. A dozen heads in every color turned around at once.

Just then, her underling pushed the door open. Lu Rong hurriedly tightened the tape measure and snapped, "This is what happens when you don't behave!" Xie Ran looked at her with utter fondness. "Yes, yes, my fault." The underling wailed. From then on, rumors spread around Yucheng High that Miss Lu had renounced love and affection. 3. A snowy winter night. After a competition, Xie Ran returned to Yucheng and teased the gorgeous girl lounging casually on a motorcycle by the roadside: "Deskmate, need a personal mudguard?" Lu Rong smiled sweetly. "That's all you've got?" At their class reunion that year, everyone agreed that the biggest poser back then had always been that fox, Xie.
