My Deskmate Is a Tough Nut to Crack

At the start of their second year of high school, a transfer student named Jiang Huai joined Class 21.

They said he had good grades, a good family background, good looks, and a good physique.

Five out of five, except, unfortunately, his temper wasn't great.

Jiang Huai's parents practically dragged him to school. He arrived with his head battered and bleeding, while his classmates crowded around in layers to gawk at him like a monkey.

So when he introduced himself, hardly anyone looked up.

"Jiang Huai. Stay away from me."

"..." Everyone in class immediately looked up.

Chu Ming, who was about to become his deskmate, looked at the cold student with a face covered in bruises and thought:

Jiang Huai, huh?

All right. Remember: don't mess with him.

-

Jiang Huai felt an inexplicable anger whenever he looked at his new deskmate.

How the hell could anyone be so soft? If someone told him to do their homework, he did it. If someone told him to clean, he cleaned. Anyone could order him around...

What an idiot.

But when it came to Jiang Huai, the idiot suddenly grew a backbone.

Tell him to go east and he'd go west. Tell him to do something and he wouldn't do it.

Jiang Huai snapped, "You're tough with me, but when other people bully you, you don't fight back? I hit you once, and you hit me twice!"

Chu Ming pressed his lips together. "Because you're a good person."

Jiang Huai rolled his eyes. "..."

Don't give me that damn friend-zone card.

-

Jiang Huai had always thought he'd found a soft rabbit with a hard bone.

He never imagined that one day that hard bone would be poking him.
