[Gentle, Strong Little Sun x All-Rounder Campus Heartthrob]
At the end of her first year of high school, Cheng Yuxia made a decision that stunned everyone: despite having grades good enough to get into an Ivy League school, she transferred from an international school to a regular public high school. She gave up her billionaire father and chose her mother as her guardian.
At the end of his first year of high school, Zhao Yuji also made a decision that left everyone dumbfounded. Born into an artistic family, he abandoned art for science. His artistic talent was such a loss that his father flew back from Europe and nearly strangled him.
The two became deskmates.
One day, they were both stumped by a physics problem. They looked up and met each other's eyes: stubbornness met defiance, and both looked like they were about to cry.
Zhao Yuji: "With grades like yours, why not just go to an Ivy League school?"
Cheng Yuxia: "With your artistic talent, why not just become a great artist?"
Zhao Yuji said smugly, "My talent for science is even greater."
Cheng Yuxia agreed. "Same here. The international class couldn't bring out my talent for Chinese."
At midterms, the two landed in last and second-to-last place in their class. They ran into each other outside the homeroom teacher's office.
"I've got a headache."
"What a coincidence. My stomach hurts."
"..."
Later, they accidentally discovered each other's secrets.
Cheng Yuxia came across Zhao Yuji crying as if his heart were breaking. Zhao Yuji turned to leave, but she pounced and knocked him down onto the green grass. "Sorry, I know I'm supposed to comfort you right now. But, well..."
Zhao Yuji: "?"
Cheng Yuxia bit her lip and said bashfully, "Seeing you like this makes me really want to bully you."
