A puppy has eyes and a heart only for you

A puppy wouldn't change its heart. Even if it did, it'd only grow into a big dog.

Xie Zhixing is arrogant and unruly, and no one dares to mess with him.

In her first year of high school, Jiang Baimo was unlucky enough to become his deskmate. Everyone silently lit a candle for her: She's doomed.

But Xie Zhixing secretly asked her, "Do you know what my nickname is?"

The cut at the corner of Jiang Baimo's mouth hadn't healed yet, and she didn't feel like talking, so she shook her head.

Xie Zhixing glanced around, then whispered his nickname in her ear when no one was looking.

Jiang Baimo smiled, even though the corner of her mouth still hurt. The boy was so worried about her that he didn't know what to do.

Later, the naive boy who'd tried so hard to make her laugh grew into someone who could do his best to protect her.

Flashy, unruly playboy who doesn't study × cool, quiet girl who loves to study

Cocky king × sweet girl who's very sweet to him (Cocky king: Don't ask.)

*The legal concepts in this story may differ from real life because legal systems vary. This isn't about legal practice, just theory, so don't take it too seriously. The author isn't trying to push any particular views, either. Most importantly, I hope you enjoy reading. Mwah!

*The high school years are told in flashbacks, from the beginning to the end of high school, but the leads don't date in high school. Their romance is mainly set in college. (High school is about friendship first and studying.)

*I hope you and I both do well on our exams!

A little skit

Jiang Baimo was holding hands with Xie Zhixing when her aunt pointed at him with a trembling finger: "You're so unfilial!"

Xie Zhixing looked at his aunt in disbelief. "What are you laughing at? Trying to laugh yourself to death?"

Jiang Baimo: "..."

[He secretly loves her]

[Romantic idealist, seemingly aloof but truly devoted male lead × realist, seemingly icy but actually adorable female lead]

On the day Duan Yan officially became captain of the criminal investigation squad, he received a Buddhist prayer bracelet from Lin Mansun for his safety. He also received the news that she had passed away.

A person receives all kinds of news in life. Duan Yan knew this all too well when he woke from a grief-stricken nap:

Good news: He was back in high school, and Lin Mansun was still alive!

Bad news: She docked him points for being late.

Good news: He'd come back wearing the gift she'd given him!

Bad news: Had someone set him up? How had she gotten the idea he was going to become a monk?

Good news: He'd made every effort to avoid regrets, and she'd finally introduced him to someone!

Bad news: It was her future "rumored husband."

Duan Yan: Slowly collapses.gif

Lin Mansun: "He's just here to join us."

After graduation, everyone was astonished to hear that Duan Yan and Lin Mansun had finally gotten together. They were both quiet and slow to warm up, and there hadn't been any signs at all! Could they have been communicating telepathically? (The male classmates were already lining up on the roof.)

An insider revealed that the two were childhood friends, neighbors since they were little, and classmates throughout middle and high school. They'd even stayed in the same class after advancing to the next school level. It was practically a match made in heaven! (The male classmates were already looking for the physics teacher to calculate free fall.)

Lin Mansun, passing by: "...Does being neighbors who nod to each other when opening and closing the door count as childhood friends?"

Duan Yan, reluctantly satisfied: "That definitely counts as childhood friends."
