After Jiang Die came in last place for the seventeenth time, she was assigned to sit with Sang Chen, the transfer student who always came in first.
Their homeroom teacher told Sang Chen to help Jiang Die study and get her out of last place as soon as possible, so she would stop dragging down the class average.
A novel-obsessed girl, Jiang Die was completely uncooperative. She cared only about her novels, reading them during breaks and even in class.
Whenever Sang Chen tried to explain a problem to her, she would be bursting to share the story and chatter on and on.
"The heroine and the CEO get into a car accident while traveling in France, so the CEO takes his private jet and flies her straight to First People's Hospital in Los Angeles!"
Sang Chen kept a straight face and tapped his pen against her test paper. "You got thirteen points in math this time. The teacher said..."
Jiang Die cut him off. "Let me finish first."
Sang Chen: "..."
"The CEO killed a panda to give its rare blood to the heroine, who was losing a lot of blood!" Jiang Die choked up with emotion. "Damn, that's so touching. Sob sob sob..."
Sang Chen frowned as he listened. "No wonder you come in last every time. What kind of brain do you have?"
Jiang Die: ?
He took the novel from her hands and skimmed it in a flash, reading aloud a line: "Woman, will one million buy you?"
Looking at his incredibly handsome face, Jiang Die answered without hesitation, "Deal."
Sang Chen: "...?"

Jiang Die found an anonymous love letter in her desk and mistakenly thought Sang Chen had left it there. Her mind wandered, and she couldn't focus on his explanation.
It was a simple problem that only required plugging values into a formula, but Sang Chen explained it six times.
She shook her head each time and said she didn't understand.
Sang Chen: "I'll explain it one last time. If you still don't get it, go ask someone else."
Jiang Die: "..."
Doesn't he like me? Why is he being so mean?
Then they started arguing.
She even got physical.
The discipline director opened the back door and saw her tackle Sang Chen to the ground, straddling his shoulders while the whole class egged them on.
The discipline director sent them to the hallway and told Jiang Die to ride him to her heart's content.
In the busy hallway, Jiang Die sat on Sang Chen's shoulders. He held both her ankles, and she rested her hands on top of his head.
In their eyes stretched the same June sky in midsummer.
Sunlight shone down, making everything bright from top to bottom, from head to toe.

After the college entrance exams, Jiang Die received an acceptance letter from the university of her dreams, along with two text messages from Sang Chen:
"Los Angeles isn't in France. There is no such thing as First People's Hospital overseas. Panda blood refers to the Rh blood type. Killing pandas is illegal, and I don't have ten million."
"But Jiang Die, someday I will."
