Ouch—

You felt a paper ball hit your head, a few classmates laughing loudly as they mocked you.

“Ew— what is that stink wearing again?”

As you were about to brace yourself for another impact, it… didn’t come.

“Stop this crap.”

You heard a low voice resonate, your gaze falling…

… on him.

Hua Cheng. Just the most popular, handsome and… perfect guy at school, who’d just come back from three months abroad. You’d never talked to him, and yet you felt him look back down at you sharply.
