Cool Guy x Sweet Girl | The Ice-Cold Beauty Comes Down from Her Pedestal
[Blurb]
With senior year approaching, the leadership at Ling'an High School made the unprecedented announcement that its north and south campuses would be merged.
As the only high school in the city to rank among the best in the nation, Ling'an High was known for its fierce competition.
The students all groaned when they heard the news. Only Huo Ning cheerfully packed her books, remembering the boy she'd met at summer camp while attending with her aunt. She muttered, "I was just worried he wouldn't remember me. Looks like fate is coming right to my door."
.
Two months earlier, Xu Sijue was the only Ling'an High student representing the second-year class at summer camp. What he thought would be a lonely trip was thrown into disarray by a girl who claimed to go to his school.
Huo Ning: "Hey, handsome! We're from the same school. Want to get to know each other?"
Xu Sijue: "..."
He was the only person from Ling'an High at camp. Where had this supposed schoolmate come from?
Xu Sijue had no interest in dealing with this outgoing girl who was clearly lying, and did his best to avoid her.
Then, during a camp dinner, he got unlucky while they were playing a game and drew a task to tell one of the girls present, "You're really ugly."
It was a simple sentence. He could have just said it.
But everyone there had known each other for less than half a month, and Xu Sijue didn't dare act rashly in case he offended someone.
As he hesitated, someone quietly said to him, "I'm Huo Ning. I don't mind. Why not say it to me?"
Only then did he look up and really see the girl for the first time.
She had watery almond-shaped eyes and a heart-shaped face. Not a single feature was remotely ugly, but the sincerity in her eyes made it impossible to refuse her.
So, under everyone's gaze, Xu Sijue said those words.
.
After dinner, Huo Ning tidied up the equipment on her own and got ready to return to the hotel.
But on her way back, she spotted a familiar figure in the distance.
Huo Ning: "Xu Sijue, everyone else has gone back. Who are you waiting for?"
Xu Sijue: "You."
Huo Ning: "Me...? Oh, did you drop something?"
Xu Sijue: "No. About what happened just now, you... I..."
Huo Ning understood and smiled. "Oh, don't worry. I know my own worth. I won't take what you said to heart."
Xu Sijue was surprised by her confidence, but quietly noted that he owed her one. All he said was, "Thanks."
Huo Ning didn't think anything of it and asked, "So, are we friends now?"
