The Love-Shy Coward

Ning Jiu first met Guan Juzhou.

He wore a leather jacket, arms crossed over his chest. With an arrogant grin, he hooked a foot around a chair and tipped it over, making the boy sitting in it land hard on his backside.

Such a jerk.

Later, the two became desk mates.

When Guan Juzhou heard she had left her homework at home, he remarked, "Did you leave your brain in the Pacific?"

Ning Jiu's face flushed red. She weakly protested, "My head wasn't clear this morning."

Guan Juzhou glanced at the corner of her desk and had no intention of sparing her any dignity. "But you still remembered to bring your makeup mirror?"

Ning Jiu: "..."

His tongue was vicious.

Later on.

Whenever people mentioned Guan Juzhou, who was far away across the ocean and only nominally enrolled at the school, all they thought of was the media's much-discussed matchmaking of the Second Princess.

And that shared toast with a bride whose identity was still unknown to this day.

Everyone believed Guan Juzhou would never come back. After all, he did whatever he pleased and never cared about the consequences. Ning Jiu thought so too, but one late night, she received a call from him.

"I miss you so much, Ning Jiu."

His voice sounded as though it had fallen into the depths of despair.
