1.
Top student Chen Ji always carries a notebook with him.
His classmates have all sorts of theories. Some think it's cram-school materials for exam prep; others guess it's a collection of mistakes compiled by some genius. Some even suspect it's stuffed with all the love letters he's received over the years.
Then one day, someone accidentally found it.
The first page read, in plain sight: "Tsk. Annoying. Why is she ignoring me again?"
2.
Everyone in Class One knows that Xiang Yu and Chen Ji grew up together.
If you want his study notes, you'll find them in Xiang Yu's desk. If you want to get in touch with him, messaging Xiang Yu works better than messaging Chen Ji himself.
Then a transfer student arrives.
Class One notices that the top student has stopped going to the classroom next door. They peek through the door and see his childhood sweetheart sitting there, heads together with the transfer student.
A busybody exclaims, "The grudge of having your girl stolen is irreconcilable!"
3.
Ever since he was old enough to understand things, Chen Ji had included Xiang Yu in his plans for the future. He would go to the same middle school as her and help her with her studies so they could attend the same high school. He even researched the admission scores and distance for all the universities they might attend someday.
He'd planned for everything.
The one thing he hadn't expected was that Xiang Yu would fall in love.
And not with him.
