[Gentle, Resilient Wallflower x Reclusive, Obsessive Ice-Cold Beauty]
Yan Man thought that after submitting her university applications, she would never see Si Jinan again.
Then, at the start of the school year, she arrived alone at Hualan University and spotted that fresh-faced, immaculate figure in the crowd at a glance.
He stood straight as a pole, like snow in early spring, seemingly handing out flyers, surrounded by girls. Just as in high school, wherever he went, he was the brightest star, even when he was quiet and sparing with words.
"You know Si Jinan from Class A in the physics department?" her roommate asked curiously after watching him for a while.
Yan Man shook her head and turned back toward the dorm. "I don't know him."
Seeing how indifferent she was, her roommate hurried after her and continued, "He's usually quiet and reserved, but they say he's an outstanding student."
"The campus beauty came to school a week early for him. I think she's already pursuing him..."
Just like before, he was always the moon around which all the stars revolved.
But...
But with his grades, he could have gone to a much better university.
Why did he insist on coming here?
Yan Man couldn't figure it out.
She took things as they came, living the same dull, solitary life as before, hoping to coast through university like a lazy fish.
She had no idea how her casual answer had reached his ears.

One day, Yan Man was cornered in a nook of the library and driven to the brink by the campus heartthrob, Si Jinan.
"You said we don't know each other?" Si Jinan gripped her shoulders tightly, asking in disbelief.
When she said nothing, his eyes suddenly reddened. "How do you explain that whole drawer full of notes?"
Still getting no answer, he tightened his grip slightly, both hands trembling. "Yan Man, what exactly am I to you?"
"Just a classmate." After thinking it over, Yan Man gave him that answer.
She hesitated, then added, trying to be more precise: "At most... a former deskmate."
As soon as the words left her mouth, a shadow fell over her.
She watched helplessly as he leaned down, then kissed her until she could barely breathe.
In a secluded corner, the two of them nearly knocked over a bookshelf.
After a brief silence, Si Jinan asked hoarsely,
"What about now?"
