During the summer break in high school, Qin Jiming was carrying a basketball when he spotted Lin Yueying beneath a Chinese scholar tree. She was just a tiny little thing then, crying until her face was a mess. She peeled back the candy wrapper, lowered her head, and sucked on the half-melted candy, looking so silly and pitiful.

The curtains were half drawn, the room dim, and he was half awake. Qin Jiming scolded her in a low voice for acting recklessly. Lin Yueying said, “Don’t lecture me from your high horse. I hate how you act superior about everything.” “You put that well.” Qin Jiming half reclined on the sofa and looked up, meeting Lin Yueying’s gaze as she tugged hard on his tie. Calmly, he said, “Now could you get off the person who’s supposedly on a high horse?” Reader advisory: 1. Ten-year age gap. The heroine falls first, and there’s some pursuing by the heroine. 2.
