[Second Male Lead Takes Center Stage | Original Title: Bian Ye]
Bian Jing has an exceptionally handsome face, but a fierce, unruly temperament. His seniors are always joking among themselves that there may be no one in the world who could make him back down.
Until that day.
At a gathering with their academic group, the guy who usually showed up at the lab looking completely careless, wearing whatever T-shirt he grabbed, his hair sticking up in a fluffy mess, a backpack slung over one shoulder, and no concern for his appearance, arrived with his hair slicked back in a three-seven part. He wore a youthful almond-white workwear hoodie and looked so ridiculously handsome, all to join them for an ordinary hotpot meal that averaged just 50 yuan a person.
His seniors were stunned and had no idea what was going on.
Then, half an hour after they sat down, they suddenly saw Bian Jing get up and walk over to the neighboring table. When he spoke, his voice sounded as if he were under a spell, impossibly obedient.
"Miss, do you have a boyfriend?"
Two tables, more than ten people, and complete silence.
He alone acted as if no one else existed, slowly sliding his phone over and shamelessly asking, "Then let's add each other on WeChat, Miss."
His seniors had sharp eyes and recognized the woman as Professor Cheng's daughter. The man sitting beside her was the "son-in-law" Professor Cheng had his eye on.
The man was already so furious at Bian Jing that his face had turned ashen.
His seniors were shocked. They had just witnessed some truly explosive gossip.
--
Bian Jing had met Cheng Yingshu long ago.
The day he heard Cheng Yingshu had someone she liked, Bian Jing was in a foul mood. But his frustration lasted only a few hours. When he turned around, he spotted Cheng Yingshu's supposed love interest outside a hotel.
The person walking in beside him, however, was not Cheng Yingshu.
Bian Jing's mood instantly brightened.
From then on, he provoked her at close range and pursued her relentlessly.

Some people fall silent in love, like whales sleeping two miles beneath the sea.
Others raise a grand banner and proclaim to the world that they will love you fiercely.
