A clueless girl vs. a grouch
A stingy, wooden part-time worker vs. an arrogant, rotten elite
Blurb:
He Miaomiao is an orphan who worked hard to get into C University. She makes ends meet with financial aid and part-time jobs.
The first time she saw Xie Xi, the famous rich kid at her school, was at her part-time job. She was a waitress, and he was a super-VIP customer who spent money like water. The amount he spent in one night was an astronomical sum she wouldn't even dare imagine.
Xie Xi is an elite born into power and privilege, and he has an exceptionally handsome face. Plenty of people want to get close to him, but his gloomy, arrogant personality and his icy manner toward strangers send them all packing.
He Miaomiao is honest and shy, and has never dreamed of cozying up to the powerful. After she personally witnessed Xie Xi expressionlessly shoot someone in the head, she wanted even more to avoid him.
One day, it poured as she was leaving work. He Miaomiao debated whether to use her new umbrella or her new raincoat, then happily opened her new umbrella. Suddenly, a cool, pleasant voice sounded behind her.
Xie Xi appeared behind her, his refined, handsome face in view. Seeing her in her uniform, he lazily asked her for her umbrella.
After a moment of hesitation, she timidly pulled a plastic bag out of her backpack, the one she'd brought to cover a shared bike's seat. Keeping her head down and not daring to look at him, she quietly told him to hold it over his head.
Xie Xi paused as he reached for his phone to transfer her money, then raised his eyes and gave her a long, searching look.

One day after she quit, He Miaomiao was crouched by the roadside, teary-eyed and mourning the hideous haircut she'd spent a fortune on, when she ran into Xie Xi again. She never expected the high-and-mighty young master to speak to her first, though his attitude was awful.
He Miaomiao was a little afraid of him, but, emboldened by the fact that he didn't know who she was, she worked up the nerve to curse him. She even accidentally got her tears on his Adam's apple.
Xie Xi's gaze suddenly froze on her. He Miaomiao seized the chance to wrench herself from his grasp and ran off.

She thought it was just a minor incident. But a few days later, as she was happily eating in the cafeteria, she turned around and saw Xie Xi watching her with an unreadable smile.
From then on, Xie Xi began taking revenge on her. He bullied her at every turn on campus, forced her to report everything she did to him, and became so domineering that he even tried to control her social life. He also forced her to attend his birthday party.
He Miaomiao was furious but didn't dare say so. She didn't want to spend a cent on someone she hated, so on the way there she picked fruit from the greenery strip, stuffed it into a plastic bag, and gave it to him as a birthday present with a fake smile.
Even when she swallowed her anger and played the submissive, Xie Xi only went further, even threatening her and forcing her to move into his house to look after him.
She hated Xie Xi. She was sure Xie Xi hated her too.

Until one day, she accidentally walked into his room and saw Xie Xi with his eyes closed, murmuring her name again and again. A pink flush tinged the corners of his lovely, aloof eyes. Beneath the blanket, which hid everything from view, something rose and fell rapidly like ocean waves.
Her mind went blank, and she instinctively asked what he was doing.
Xie Xi let out a muffled groan. The waves beneath the blanket stilled. He opened his eyes and sat up languidly, casually pulling a hand out from beneath the covers. His long, beautiful fingers were stained with some unknown liquid, glimmering in the light.
He stared at her, curled his lips into a smile, and held that hand out to her. His voice was hoarse. "Come here, and I'll tell you what I'm doing."
