Mint Allergy

◎ Cool, brilliant academic goddess x an arrogant, puppy-like delinquent

◎ Fake soft girl x pretend school bully | Cool and aloof x fiery and passionate

Gu Yuan is a beloved prodigy, excelling at both academics and the arts. To many, she is their unattainable ideal.

Chi Yu is a troubled student who skips class, gets into fights, and takes time off school. To many, he is a bad kid.

No one would ever connect the two of them.

But on the evening study period when students were filling out their subject selection forms, Gu Yuan was cornered by Chi Yu on the rooftop.

The young man leaned against the railing, his expression unreadable and his gaze fixed on Gu Yuan. His lazy, hoarse voice mingled with the evening breeze. "My rumored girlfriend, are you choosing arts or science?"

Gu Yuan froze, her heart giving a hard thump. She clenched her fingers and said coolly, "Don't start rumors."

.

Rumors about Gu Yuan and Chi Yu began spreading on the day of the class meeting.

Chi Yu knew Gu Yuan never took them seriously, but deep down, he hoped time and again that they would come true.

Until one day, Gu Yuan lured Chi Yu home and pinned him to the sofa with a kiss.

She said, "My rumored boyfriend, you're officially promoted."

Summers in Ningyi are always scorching. No one knew when it started, but two mints would always appear in Gu Yuan's desk cubby.

Then one day, Gu Yuan saw the boy bend down in the still, stifling classroom, clutching the candy wrapper she'd accidentally dropped on the floor.

That summer, Gu Yuan was allergic to mint.

He kept his feelings hidden in his heart, but could not conceal the surging love in his eyes.

People who are sensitive and tangled up inside need a lover who is direct about their feelings and impossible to drive away., Source: Online

Shen Xingwei's first impression of Pei Wang was not a good one.

He wore a baseball cap pulled low over his face. His chin was scraped, and bruises showed on the skin peeking from beneath his sleeves.

Shen Xingwei glanced his way in secret. His sharp gaze seemed to pierce her heart.

Yet she was drawn to the bad seed hidden beneath that handsome exterior.

On the night before they parted, Shen Xingwei was pressed against the window. Rain pelted her heart, and lightning split the sky.

Pei Wang's eyes were red, his voice hoarse and trembling. "What I just said doesn't count."

Shen Xingwei looked away and replied calmly, "It's over, Pei Wang."

Years later, in a damp, shadowy alleyway.

He was still dressed in black from head to toe, his hair cropped close. His features were sharper, and the scar at his temple gave him a menacing air.

Shen Xingwei heard someone call him Captain Lin. Seeing the tension between them, the person asked with a smile if they knew each other.

He didn't even glance her way as he strode off, his voice carried back on the wind. "We don't know each other."

Within three days, the man came begging to make up.

Shen Xingwei sent him packing in the middle of the night, then thoughtfully transferred him the money for a hotel.

When Shi You was five, she followed her mother into the Lin family. After her eighteenth birthday, she returned to Jiangnan to escape her stepbrother.

The rainy season back home was always damp and long.

As Shi You worried about her arranged marriage, an umbrella suddenly appeared over her head.

The man exuded a wicked air. Looking languid and bored, he tilted his head at her, amusement in his eyes.

Shi You gazed into those extraordinarily beautiful eyes. Her lust overruled her reason. "How about we get married?"

Xu Zhouye had been a born winner since childhood. He did whatever he pleased, with no rhyme or reason. He was a complete menace, and no one could control him.

Plenty of girls had been brought to tears by his sharp tongue and put him on their permanent blacklist.

What a pity that the Lin family's stepdaughter had no choice but to enter the wolf's den.

At a get-together one day, Xu Zhouye sat in a corner taking a call. The dim lights couldn't hide the delight on his face, and his syrupy voice was enough to make anyone cringe.

"I'm drunk... My head hurts... I need a hug..."

Thinking of his jerkish behavior the night before, Shi You blushed and ignored him.

A smile played at the man's lips as he toyed with the jade pendant in his hand. His voice was despondent and aggrieved. "Fanzi, Fanzi, all you care about is Fanzi..."
