The day her secret crush came to nothing, Su Lüzhu clutched the love letter she hadn't managed to give him and cried her heart out on the rooftop.
Halfway through, a figure emerged from a corner, startling her so badly that the letter fell from her hand.
The boy looked cold and indifferent. He glanced down, then pushed open the door and left.
Su Lüzhu came to her senses and picked up the letter, only to find a clear footprint on it.
*
After the classes were reshuffled, Su Lüzhu's new deskmate, He Qing, was a prodigy coveted by every school. In everyone's eyes, he was accomplished, gentle, modest, and too perfect to be real.
But what surfaced in Su Lüzhu's mind was how maliciously he'd stepped on her love letter.
She quietly kept her distance from her new deskmate, but He Qing acted as if nothing had happened that day and continued to look after her.
Su Lüzhu: "...?"
Could it have just been a misunderstanding? Was her perfect deskmate really just like the rumors said?
Su Lüzhu knew her place and didn't mistake her deskmate's intentions for anything more.
When someone in class started gossiping, she immediately cleared things up: "Classmates should look out for one another."
Later, in the empty classroom, the boy lowered his eyes, concealing his deep possessiveness. He reached out to touch Su Lüzhu's flushed earlobe and asked in a restrained voice, "When are you going to show me some of that care, too?"
#A masterful flirt, a cold high-S who turns into a green tea boy for love, the most patient young hunter in the galaxy#
#A self-aware master, a clueless natural airhead, a white rabbit girl who'd flee all the way to the Earth's core if you touched her#
1. A sweet high school romance, focused on cozy, funny everyday moments.
2. The leads grow over time and aren't perfect, so please be patient with them.
