A Summer Planned in Advance

[Good-girl top student x green-tea, growing-up school bully]

In her second year of high school, well-behaved Lin Nanzhi is sent back to the rural town where her grandparents live, where she accidentally offends the town’s most fearsome gang member.

The first time they meet, Xie Yu says, “You owe me one.”

Lin Nanzhi thinks: He says I owe him a favor and wants me to pay him back.

The second time they meet, Xie Yu glances at Lin Nanzhi in his ripped jeans.

Lin Nanzhi thinks: He’s mad that I haven’t paid him back and wants to knock out my front teeth.

The third time they meet, Xie Yu slaps his textbook onto the desk.

Lin Nanzhi thinks: He’s going to torture me until I wish I were dead.

The Nth time they meet, Xie Yu is wearing the little hair tie he snatched from Lin Nanzhi’s hair on his wrist.

Lin Nanzhi, whose reactions are always a little slow: Does he like me?

Much later, Lin Nanzhi finally learns that every chance encounter that summer was part of a carefully planned scheme from the very beginning.

Content warnings:

1. There are no scenes promoting violence as a solution to problems. This is an uplifting story, and the male lead becomes a better person because of the female lead.

2. A story of mutual healing. There is no intimate content before the characters become adults.

“Chase Away Your Bad Weather”

“If your life is an endless rainy season,”

“then I’ll chase away all your bad weather.”

In the second semester of her first year of high school, Sang Yu meets Jiang Rang.

He’s a well-connected new student in her class, with a handsome, decent-looking face, but he skips class and gets into fights.

Sang Yu thinks she’ll never have anything to do with a rich, spoiled delinquent like him.

Until one day, Jiang Rang points at her in front of their homeroom teacher and jokes mischievously, “Find me a quiet desk mate who’s good at studying like her, and maybe I’ll turn over a new leaf.”

The day she’s forced to become his desk mate, Sang Yu is so angry her teeth ache.

She’s never met such a shameless scoundrel in her life.

Then one day,

Jiang Rang catches Sang Yu hiding in the stairwell and crying after an argument with her family.

“Do you know where my name comes from?”

Sang Yu sobs softly. “The ‘yu’ means ‘extra.’”

Jiang Rang has long since shed his delinquent label and become the brightest star among his peers.

But for the first time, Sang Yu sees a serious, almost timid expression on his face.

“No.”

“It’s the ‘yu’ in ‘Though the mulberry tree is old, its sunset glow still fills the sky.’”
