A Tangled Relationship

Xie Tao, an S-rank math prodigy, was admitted to a prestigious high school, but his parents transferred him to an ordinary one. He had no idea what they were thinking.

He quickly settled into his new school. Xie Tao was handsome and a good student, especially in math, so everyone in the class gathered around him, except Jiang Ao.

From the first moment Xie Tao saw Jiang Ao, he couldn't stand him. "Tch, what's with the cold act?"

Jiang Ao was the top student in the whole school, handsome and aloof, with an air that seemed to say, "Look at me again and I'll eat you alive." No one could figure out what he was thinking.

What goes around comes around. Xie Tao had forgotten his meal card and didn't know what to do, but Jiang Ao showed up and got him out of trouble. He actually helped me!

Maybe he's not that annoying after all.

"What bad luck, having to share a dorm room with him. The teacher really knows how to make things difficult," Xie Tao complained about being assigned to the same room as Jiang Ao.

"That's great! Two top students together. If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask him. So many people wish they could room with him, but they don't get the chance," said his good friend Zhou Zhixiang enviously.

"Heh. Who wants him to teach me?"

Qixi Festival should have been a happy day, but while accompanying a girl on a shopping trip, Xie Tao encountered something that changed his life.

"What happened to you two?" Zhou Zhixiang was shocked.

"It's my fault. It's a family matter."

"Your relationship is way too complicated. So what are you and Xie Tao now?"

Xie Tao looked at Jiang Ao in the hospital bed, unable to name what he was feeling. "I don't know."
