Quirky rich heiress who thinks outside the box x sharp-tongued, money-loving Taoist exorcist
Hilarious campus antics || Yicheng No. 1 High School rulebook editors || Desk-mates on the opposing team
1. During the summer vacation before her first year of high school, Yun Yi transferred to Yicheng.
Before school had even started, she got into an argument at the police station with a future classmate over who would get to keep a husky.
At the station, the boy asked lazily with his hands in his pockets, "You look like it, so does that mean it's your dog?"
At that moment, Yun Yi and Jiang Yuhuai became sworn enemies.
"Jiang Yuhuai, I've got a lot of work lately and no time to take your case. You'd better climb up to the seventh-floor roof yourself."
After that, Yun Yi discovered that even "assassinating" Jiang Yuhuai required taking a number.
She should have known. A detestable person was bound to have enemies everywhere.
She'd picked a bad time to show up.
2. Everyone knew Jiang Yuhuai had a terrible temper.
Once, someone managed to join Jiang Yuhuai's gaming team. After one match, they cautiously sent him a friend request, only to be rejected.
"Happy Double Ninth Festival. The way you played as the enemy team's grandson was deeply moving."
But during a school underground tournament one winter break, the lone-wolf player spent an entire afternoon supporting his deskmate without a single complaint.
The No. 1 High School forum erupted: "It's not even Ghost Festival. Why's he possessed?"
Meanwhile, Yun Yi happily paid the balance and gave him a glowing review after seeing the message, "Happy Consumer Rights Day."
Hah, people don't just turn over a new leaf for no reason.
She'd simply paid him too much.
3. Yicheng No. 1 High School had many alumni who had profoundly influenced the school, and a few of them were especially famous.
They had single-handedly pushed the boundaries of the school rules to the limit and warped the school's culture in the process.
"Posting big-character posters on campus to incite students is prohibited."
"Sneaking into the broadcasting station to delete the morning exercise bell is prohibited."
"Using electric wheelchairs on campus is prohibited."
"Stealing any and all cafeteria secrets is prohibited."
"Disguising yourself as a security guard at the school gate is prohibited."
"..."
Don't ask why the rules are so strange.
Someone really did all those things.
At the school anniversary celebration, a new student pointed without hesitation at the distinguished alumni who had just been speaking confidently onstage and said to the camera, "There, I heard those two editors are up onstage."
The handsome young man put an arm around the radiant woman beside him and waved casually at the interview camera. "In the face of these cruel school rules..."
He smiled. "Our Miss Yun always has a way."
Yun Yi punched Jiang Yuhuai without hesitation, then faced the camera with a smile that didn't reach her eyes. "I just spent the time other people used to break the rules studying them."
4.
"Thank you for pulling me out of that endless summer. I don't have to keep walking under the blazing sun, stepping on my own dirty shadow."
"Jiang Yuhuai, am I a shadowless lamp or something?"
