After the college entrance exams, the class held a farewell party. During Truth or Dare, Cong Shuyue chose Truth. The question on the card read:
Name the person you hate most.
She blurted out, "Duan Xunyan."
-
Cong Shuyue first met Duan Xunyan at her first-birthday grab ceremony. According to the elders, when she was just one year old, she saw the red envelopes in the middle, smiled brighter than the sun, and made a beeline for them.
Only some hateful guy got there first.
That was Duan Xunyan.
Duan Xunyan was a year older than her and had already learned to walk. He was fast, too. She heard that she cried for a long, long time that day, while Duan Xunyan just sat in a corner holding the red envelope and watched her cry.
Though she had no memory of it, she was firmly convinced that even if she couldn't remember it then, that incident was the reason they started fighting every time they met.
They were neighbors and childhood friends.
Everyone around them knew they were "mortal enemies."
Those two were a pair of little tyrants. Even though they got on each other's nerves every day, they still went to and from school together.
As they put it:
"Even if we can't beat each other in an argument, we'll annoy each other to death."
-
After the party, just as Cong Shuyue parted from the others, a powerful grip pulled her into the stairwell.
Cong Shuyue looked up at him with a bright smile. "Since when do you smoke?"
"I don't smoke." Duan Xunyan's eyes burned with barely restrained anger. "Someone else did."
"Still, it's not good to get the smell on you."
The next moment, he moved closer. Cong Shuyue's smile grew more brazen as she rose onto her toes and leaned toward him of her own accord.
Duan Xunyan asked, "Who do you hate?"
"You," Cong Shuyue replied, as always.
She had hated him since they were children.
But the fact that she loved him was just as undeniable.
"Then I don't mind giving you even more reason to hate me."
"Go ahead."
--Perhaps ever since the day of the grab ceremony, he had wanted to draw this moon close to his heart and love her without restraint.
*A gorgeous little princess who acts on her whims and doesn't play by the rules (not really) × a hateful guy who loves teasing her
*One-on-one romance, both leads are virgins
*Mostly set in high school; no breakups between the leads
