That summer, the whole school was saying that Shen Yu, the top science student, had gone crazy.
He handed in a blank paper at the final round of the physics competition, where he’d been guaranteed a recommendation for university, and sent his control-freak father to the hospital in a rage.
After that, the school’s untouchable prince fell from grace. Assigned to the worst “cattle-herding class,” he became the good-for-nothing everyone talked about.
Lin Zhixia was a perennial bottom-of-the-class student who could score only thirty points in physics.
To repay Shen Yu for his “kindness in sharing a meal” years ago, which actually meant she’d stolen his milk, she impulsively took him home.
And so began their chaotic life together: the top student going off the rails, the struggling student making a comeback, living together, fighting, and doing homework tutoring that consisted of one-sided torment.
“Shen Yu, why is the answer to this force-analysis problem C?”
“Because your brain is the size of a walnut, and the friction is too high.”
“Shen Yu, I want to live in a big house someday.”
“Sure. This ruler is your future home. Now go to sleep.”
The boy who once cared only about formulas and grades, the machine who treated his father’s orders as holy writ, learned for the first time to rebel, to dream, and to love someone in Lin Zhixia’s warm, lively little home, full of the everyday bustle of life.
From neighbors who couldn’t stand each other to comrades fighting side by side.
With three pens, countless books of corrected mistakes, and a castle he built with his own hands, Shen Yu proved that in this complicated physical world, she was the only “negative entropy” and his eternal gravity.
This is a story of mutual redemption, about a “genius gone bad” and a struggling student who rises to the top.
(One-on-one romance, both are each other’s first, sweet campus love story, no melodramatic misunderstandings, just an intellectual mismatch and unwavering devotion.)
