Midsummer Longing

Gu Xia, the cherished heiress of the Gu family, is a little rose who has grown up being doted on. The first time she encountered a problem that money couldn't solve was at a bar.

Amid the bar's dazzling lights and drunken revelry, a boy onstage sang a love song while holding a guitar. His eyes were lowered, and he seemed untouched by the smoky, worldly atmosphere, as pure as a little white flower.

Gu Xia watched, entranced, and sidled over to ask, "How much to request a song?"

The boy's voice was cool and crisp. "I don't take requests."

Gu Xia giggled. "Then how much to buy you for the night?"

The little girl's foxlike eyes lifted, brimming with the smug delight of a scheme gone just as planned.

The boy's fingers paused on the strings, and his eyes lifted slightly.

"You can't afford me."

A few days later, at the opening ceremony of Anming High School, the video showed the little white flower from the bar on the screen, with a caption beside him: "Outstanding Student Representative, Sheng Yi of Grade 11, top scorer in Huannan City's 20XX high school entrance exam."

A classmate murmured, "Sheng Yi, Anming's campus heartthrob. He's reserved and low-key, but you can't hide his brilliance."

Gu Xia's eyes widened. What the heck? Did I just flirt with Anming's campus heartthrob?

That afternoon, at the club fair, Sheng Yi, president of the solo gaming club, picked up Gu Xia's club application form and said in a cool, clear voice, "Gu Xia. You're in my group."

A group reputed to be extremely demanding and full of top players.

This was revenge. It absolutely had to be.

The young man's beautiful peach-blossom eyes lifted slightly, his smile full of provocation. "I did it on purpose. What are you going to do about it?"

And so, she deliberately went and got herself involved with him.
