Good girl x fake bad boy, mutual pining comes true
In college, Meng Beichuan was famous for his good family background, excellent grades, and wild ways.
He was roguishly handsome and unruly, carefree and unpredictable,
always defying convention and doing whatever he pleased.
Boys were naturally drawn to someone like him, and girls adored him too. All four years of college, he remained the center of every storm and every conversation.
Tang Xueji was nothing like him. To earn money for tuition, she worked almost every weekend and holiday. She was either at a part-time job or on her way to one.
Though she was quite pretty, she lived an utterly unassuming life. In every way, she was Meng Beichuan's opposite.
She thought the two of them would never cross paths.
Even though she had secretly fallen for him before he even knew she existed.
Then one evening, under the dim lights of a KTV, someone casually asked him to pick a person for a game of Truth or Dare. He pointed to her in the corner, leaving everyone stunned.
For that moment, their eyes met, just like the hero and heroine in a movie.
But amid the teasing, Meng Beichuan tugged at the corner of his mouth and said, "Come on, don't mess around. I don't even know her. It's too awkward to play with someone I'm familiar with..."
After the game ended, Tang Xueji's heart raced and her cheeks burned. She was still feeling flustered when she came out of the bathroom and heard him talking with his buddies at the corner of the hallway.
"Brother Chuan, what, into good girls now?"
"Get lost."
"Exactly. Since when has Brother Chuan ever liked boring good girls?"
"Maybe he's tired of big fish and rich meat, and wants to switch to some light porridge and side dishes, hahaha?"
The group walked off laughing and joking. Meng Beichuan barely said a word the whole time. Tang Xueji only heard his laugh and one casual "Get lost," but the bits and pieces of their teasing rang painfully in her ears.
It was true. She and he belonged to two different worlds.
He was a darling of the heavens, adored by everyone.
She was just an ordinary person lost in the crowd, struggling to make ends meet, a boring good girl whose world consisted of studying and part-time jobs.
That night, Tang Xueji resolved to give up on her impossible dream.
But not long afterward, Meng Beichuan started pursuing her.
"We're not cut from the same cloth."
"Who says people who aren't cut from the same cloth can't be together?"
"I do."
"How will you know if we don't try?"
Their mutual pining comes true.
You pretend not to notice, yet steal a thousand glances from the corner of your eye.
You are my sunshine,
and my sweetest dream.
