Childhood friends.

A tsundere princess and top student who secretly harbors a crush x a social recluse around strangers, cheerful and outgoing around close friends, and clueless about romance

On the day of the class-placement exam, Ding Sishi knew Qiao Sui'an's mediocre grades wouldn't get her into the advanced class, so he racked his brains to get a few questions wrong and leave a few blank.

When the results came out, Qiao Sui'an raced to his house. "Great news! I did way better than usual and got into the advanced class!"

Ding Sishi: "..."

When she found out he hadn't made it into the advanced class, Qiao Sui'an gave him a puzzled look.

Ding Sishi kept a straight face. "I wanted to go to the regular class and crush the competition."

Then he ignored her for three hours.

After school started, Ding Sishi tutored Qiao Sui'an for two months. Once he was sure her grades wouldn't drop out of the advanced class, he gave the midterm everything he had, while Qiao Sui'an accidentally fell asleep during the English listening test.

In the end, Ding Sishi ranked first in the entire school, took Qiao Sui'an's spot in the advanced class, and made a grand entrance.

Then he ignored her for a whole day.

At last, they were in the same class. One day during a lesson, Qiao Sui'an discreetly turned around and made a hand sign to Ding Sishi.

Ding Sishi's deskmate was baffled. "What does that mean?"

Ding Sishi: "She wants a soft-serve cone, but she's too lazy to leave the classroom, so she wants me to buy one at the school shop after class."

The next day, Qiao Sui'an secretly made the exact same gesture.

His deskmate was confident. "Does she want another soft-serve cone?"

Ding Sishi gave a soft snort, lowered his head, and went back to taking notes. He murmured, "No. She's asking if I want to get milk tea with her after school."

His deskmate scratched his head, baffled. "..."

Back in middle school, Qiao Sui'an found a stray cat and left it at Ding Sishi's house. Seeing its orange fur, she named it Big Yellow. After the cat protested with a chorus of meows and Ding Sishi firmly objected again and again, she finally renamed it Qiuqiu.

One day, the two of them were giving each other the cold shoulder.

Ding Sishi couldn't take it anymore, so he sent her a picture of Qiuqiu.

Qiao Sui'an: "?"

Ding Sishi: "Qiuqiu misses you."

Qiao Sui'an: "And?"

Ding Sishi: "It told me to ask when you're coming to see it."

I heard she's planning to start a band, and they still need a lead singer.

I heard the school is holding a singing competition at the upcoming arts festival.

Wen Zhi dusted off his sleeves, cleared his throat, and took the microphone, ready to show off his singing: It's time to reveal my true skills.

When the competition was over, she had her eye on him, just as expected.

-

To get Wen Zhi to join her band, Tao Shi asked everyone about his interests and tried all kinds of ways to win him over. She chased after him for four or five days, but Wen Zhi remained neither warm nor cold toward her.

Tao Shi lost heart.

There are plenty of other fish in the sea. Why pin all your hopes on one?

But the very next day after she decided to give up, Wen Zhi spent the entire day appearing in front of her as if he were haunted.

Wen Zhi: Why hasn't she come to see me today?

Wen Zhi: ...Wait, something's off. I think I've been acting too aloof.
