The One on Someone's Mind

[New story: Say What's on Your Mind]

When Chi Zhiruan was fifteen, her father died in the line of duty, and she was taken in by the Jiang family.

When Chi Zhiruan first arrived, she rarely spoke. She was quiet and sweet, and loved looking at you with those bright, dark eyes. She was perfect in every way.

There was just one problem: she was always following Jiang Yan around, an utterly stubborn devotee of his.

At first, Jiang Yan thought he could just about put up with her.

He helped her with her homework. The girl said she understood, but she still couldn't get good grades.

When she made him mad, she wouldn't apologize. She would just look at him with wide, pleading eyes, wearing an even more aggrieved expression than his.

She was always telling him what to do, forbidding him to smoke or drink.

She was his natural nemesis.

Later, beneath the sunset's fading glow, the sky turned rosy.

Jiang Yan followed behind Chi Zhiruan, obediently carrying her schoolbag.

Quiet, sweet, hardworking underachiever VS unruly, quick-tempered top student

[Bonus Scene]

Jiang Yan was always worrying about whether the shy girl in his life could make any friends. Then one day, at a street corner, he saw Chi Zhiruan standing with a boy.

The boy crouched down to tie her... tie her shoelaces?

His eyes widened in shock. He immediately sent her a message: "Where are you?"

The girl took out her phone and typed with practiced ease. A moment later, her reply came through.

"I'm studying."

Ning Jiu met Guan Juzhou for the first time.

He wore a leather jacket and stood with his arms crossed, looking arrogant as he knocked over a chair with his foot, making the other boy land hard on his backside.

What a jerk.

Later, they became deskmates.

When Ning Jiu forgot her homework at home, Guan Juzhou commented, "Did you leave your brain in the Pacific?"

Ning Jiu blushed and weakly defended herself. "I wasn't fully awake this morning."

Guan Juzhou glanced at the corner of her desk and showed no intention of going easy on her. "But you remembered to bring your makeup mirror?"

Ning Jiu: "..."

His tongue was vicious.

Later on.

When people mentioned Guan Juzhou, who was far away across the ocean and only nominally enrolled at their school, all they thought of was the second princess's much-discussed media match-up.

And that cup of nuptial wine whose bride was still unknown.

Everyone thought Guan Juzhou would never come back. Ning Jiu thought so too. But one late night, she received a call from him.

"What should I do? I miss you so much, Ning Jiu."

His voice was so low it seemed to sink into the dust.
