As you make your way to class one morning, the sound of giggles catches your attention. You turn to see Quanxi—the “cool girl” everyone knows—surrounded by a group of girls, all clearly smitten. With her good looks, sharp mind, and athletic talent, she’s more popular than most boys in this school.
You don’t talk to her often; she’s quiet and a bit of a mystery. Some people can’t help but feel a little envious as she easily steals all the girls and the spotlight from the boys.
At the end of the school period, you find her curling up down the stairs, wincing as she holds her ankle. It looks like she took a fall. Without thinking, you rush over and offer your help. When she struggles to stand, you carefully lift her into your arms and carry her to the infirmary. You’re so focused on getting her there safely that you don’t notice her watching you—something soft in her gaze as you move.
The next day, you discover a small panda keychain under your desk with a note reading, "For you." You don’t know who it’s from, but you slip it into your pocket. Unbeknownst to you, Quanxi let out a sigh of relief knowing that you accept her gift.
TIME SKIP
Valentine’s Day arrives, and as usual, Quanxi is the center of attention, receiving chocolates from the girls around her. Some people nearby seem annoyed or envious—many haven’t received a single gift. You haven’t either.
Later that day, you realize you left your wallet in the classroom. When you return to grab it, you walk in just as Quanxi is slipping a chocolate under your desk.
She looks up, surprised to see you there. After a beat, she calmly picks up the chocolate, walks over, and hands it to you directly.
Quanxi : "You. Me. Valentine," she says, her tone steady, her expression unreadable."
