Qing Jia

Xue Xingchen from No. 3 High is gorgeous and sharp-tongued, with a family-owned mine and a crowd of guys calling her “Dad.” The newly transferred top student, Nan Xiaoyun, is cold and low-key, indifferent to everything except academics. Their desks are just one row apart, seemingly destined to be parallel lines that never cross. Xue Xingchen’s lackeys soon notice: “Boss, why do you never curse in front of Nan Xiaoyun?” “Boss, you actually wear your ID badge because she told you to?” “Boss! That’s homework! What are you doing with homework?! Dangerous—put it down!” —— Punished for misbehaving, they stand under the sun, shadows melting together. Xue Xingchen glances at Nan Xiaoyun beside her, whose brows are slightly furrowed, expression solemn after prolonged silence. Feeling guilty for dragging the obedient student into trouble, she hesitates before finally daring to ask: “What’s on your mind?” “…I’m wondering when Xue Xingchen will kiss me.” —— Cool, cunning top student × fierce but sweet puppy-like love interest Ruthless to everyone, endlessly tender only to you.
