Blunt and straightforward heroine x overthinker
A radiant, sunny heroine x an aloof male lead
Jiang Hao had a hard life.
With no parents, she failed the college entrance exam and wound up in a non-elite university's liberal arts program. After finally getting into a top university, she was rejected in campus recruitment for not having an elite undergraduate degree. Even after graduating, she still had the precious status of a fresh graduate.
Nothing ever went right. One night, while sending out resumes en masse, she died suddenly at her computer.
Perhaps the heavens took pity on her, because she became Jiang Jianghao.
She had a wealthy family, loving parents, and an elite undergraduate degree from Qingbei!
Everything was just right.
But what were those calculus and programming books doing on her bookshelf?
She only had the brainpower of a liberal arts student from a non-elite university, after all.
Besides, your undergraduate degree was what really counted.
She'd heard that at Qingbei, failing three courses meant being asked to leave.
Jiang Jianghao stared at the indecipherable text, turning a page and sighing. But I really don't know how to solve this!
So she went to ask Yu Jian, the top student in their year.
But the aloof heartthrob from the computer science department, who kept to himself, was really hard to deal with!
On a rainy day, Jiang Jianghao deliberately got soaked and approached Yu Jian, looking pitiful. "Could you..."
Yu Jian opened his umbrella without a word, cutting her off. "Excuse me, could you move aside?"
On a sunny day, Jiang Jianghao put on a red spaghetti-strap dress and deliberately got close to Yu Jian, speaking in a coy voice. "I..."
Yu Jian didn't even look at her, just pointed in a direction. "The restroom's that way. You're welcome."
Jiang Jianghao had been rejected so many times she was numb to it...
This guy really wouldn't budge.
She gave up.
One night, Jiang Jianghao walked out of the study room, dejected and barefaced, scratching her greasy hair.
She looked down and saw an orange cat circling her.
She had just picked it up when she ran into Yu Jian.
At last, Jiang Jianghao found her chance. "I need to ask you for a favor!"
Yu Jian looked as if he'd expected this. "I'm willing to..."
Jiang Jianghao's eyes lit up. "You're agreeing to tutor me!"
Yu Jian: ...Wasn't she going to ask me out?
[Bonus scene]
Yu Jian posted on the forum: Why has the girl I have a crush on been trying so hard to get my attention lately?
First reply: "Why does my cat keep making noise?" "Is it an ingrown toenail if my cat keeps stepping on my foot?"
After figuring out the joke, Yu Jian looked at the orange cat sleeping soundly in his lap and sighed.
But Jiang Jianghao had such a short attention span that she gave up after being ignored just a few times.
Then he'd have to take the initiative.
