Word around school was that Shen Mian had fallen for the handsome genius next door, Jiang Chen. After finally winning him over, she was ultimately dumped.

At their class reunion, someone got drunk and confessed to Shen Mian in front of everyone.

Driven mad by Shen Mian's rejection, he blurted out without thinking:

“I've liked you since our first year of high school. You'd rather throw yourself at him than give me a chance?”

As soon as the words left his mouth, a cold, mocking voice came from behind them

“She claimed me when she was six. Who the hell are you?”

P.S. She wasn't dumped! There's more to the story! The male lead is fiercely devoted and would never hurt the heroine, even if it meant hurting himself.

Shen Mian always thought Jiang Chen was a poor boy who had grown up in an orphanage and worked his way through high school.

So he wouldn't have to worry about the cost of dating, Shen Mian pulled out her New Year's money, thumped her chest, and told him, “Don't worry, I'm really rich!”

It wasn't until later, when Jiang Chen handed over his bank card, that Shen Mian realized the truth: Wait, I'm the broke one???

Jiang Chen had been thinking about a girl for years.

Just as he was wondering how to get closer to her,

he discovered that she had fallen for him at first sight.
