Sunny, puppy-like athlete × introverted, cool top student
"Gu Yan, you're not being honest. People who insist on having the last word end up losing a lot."
Zhou Die's persistent persistence will break through Gu Yan's hard shell, and the stubborn Gu Yan will find a place where he belongs.
The two had never been in the same class before, but in their second year of high school, they were assigned to one together.
Gu Yan is the textbook good student in every parent and teacher's eyes. If Zhou Die hadn't grown up with him, he might almost have believed it.
To Zhou Die, Gu Yan is just a guy who puts on a front. No matter how well the top student Gu Yan acts, he can't fool the rival who grew up with him and knows all his embarrassing secrets.
The whole school knows they're rivals. Zhou Die is the source of his teachers' headaches, while Gu Yan is the cure.
They thought things would go on like that forever, until Gu Yan confessed to Zhou Die. Then everything changed.
Gu Yan was rejected, and Zhou Die did his best to avoid running into him. But he never expected his own mom to play matchmaker!
"Holy crap! Gu Yan, calm down! Forcing your way in won't work!"
"I'm not being stubborn this time. I'm being direct."
