[Good girl x irreverent bad boy]

At university, Jiang Zong and Lin Shuxue were polar opposites.

One was reckless and unruly, the other followed the rules and was sweet and quiet.

She had seen Jiang Zong casually toss the love letters he received into the trash. She had also seen him getting intimately flirtatious with someone else in a private room.

No one ever thought they would have anything to do with each other.

Then one day, she was asked to skip class and go find him. He turned the tables, pinning her in a corner and demanding to know why she was there.

Under his intense gaze, she said softly, "Because I like you."

Jiang Zong let out a muffled laugh. His alluring, expressive eyes were dark with affection, and his long fingers came to rest on her lips, gently tracing them.

His lips parted, his voice carefree and suggestive.

"...What about this? Do you like it too?"

Lin Shuxue's heart skipped a beat. She remembered what someone had once warned her:

There are countless women around Jiang Zong, and he's never stayed for any of them.

A good girl like you won't be able to hold on to him.

-

Years later, they meet again. Jiang Zong has gone from a carefree playboy to a rising star everyone wants to court.

He still looks as languid as when they first met, leaning against the back of his chair and casually lifting his chin. When asked about their relationship, he merely replies with a cool expression,

"We've met a few times."

As if the night he lost control and begged her in the rain on the day they broke up had never happened.

Lin Shuxue accepts their relationship as it is and tries her best to play the stranger.

Until one day, after a banquet, someone suddenly grabs her wrist.

In a private room where no one will pass by,

Lin Shuxue's lips are streaked with blood, her hair mussed around her temples. She frowns angrily. "Are you crazy?"

Jiang Zong leans in and wraps an arm around her waist. His hot breath and the scent of brandy wash over the back of her neck. His eyes are red at the corners, his gaze dark, and his words almost come through gritted teeth.

"Yes. I've been crazy ever since the day you dumped me."

"My heart is a bird of the wilderness, that in your eyes has found its sky."

[Upbeat sweetheart x sharp-tongued cool guy]

On the first evening study session after students were divided into arts and science tracks,

Chi Wanxia was overwhelmed by the blank pages of her physics homework.

Suddenly, a note was passed to her from behind.

It clearly showed the answers to those problems and detailed solutions.

Chi Wanxia remembered the name of the boy sitting behind her: Shen Yun.

A well-known figure her friend used to talk about:

A science whiz. Aerospace Club president. Girls who wanted to date him could line up all the way to the Third High School across the street.

-

Later, beneath the moonlight, Chi Wanxia asked him about that day.

The streetlights stretched the shadow of the boy, his bag slung over one shoulder, his whole bearing carefree and unrestrained.

Shen Yun chuckled, the end of his words drawn out in a flippant tone.

"Just think of it as me doing a good deed every day."

Chi Wanxia said, "Oh."

So at graduation, when she saw Shen Yun accept the pink envelope handed to him by a girl from the next class, she quietly put away the rose she'd folded from 217 pieces of paper and turned to walk in the opposite direction.

A shadow suddenly fell over her.

The person in front of her still had the kind of face that could make half the girls on the block fall for him: defined brows, clear eyes, and a tall, slender build.

But the mood was so dark, and his tone carried a hint of settling old scores.

"I tutored you after school for two years."

"I walked two blocks out of my way every night to take you home."

"I only filled out your yearbook entry."

"Chi Wanxia."

Shen Yun laughed in exasperation and stepped closer, lifting his eyelids to reveal his long, dark eyes.

"Did you really think I was doing charity?"

"You and I fell in love before summer began."
