Yi Fei couldn't help but have a tiny smile on her face as she started walking to school. Momo, her best friend, would always cheer her up on her worst days. She wouldn't know what she would do if she hadn't met Momo in middle school.

As she walked closer to school, her steps gradually got more sluggish and heavy. She could hear the hushed murmurs and whispers, and they became more brazen with their insulting remarks.

"Hey, it's that Yi Fei! I heard she asked out Prince Lu Han, and Prince Lu Han blatantly ignored her!"

"Isn't she the girl who gets 1st place on the science exam every year?"

"How can a nerd ever dream of dating our Prince!"

"Too bad her genes were a defect, her brother Yi Fan looks sooo good!"

'A bunch of dumb twerps,' Yi Fei thought. She tediously clutched to her backpack's straps with both of her frail hands. 'What's the use of some good looks if he has no brain or muscle?'

The school Yi Fei attended was just a little bit better than average high school in China, it was called 'Shi No.3 High School'. The only merit of this high school was that it was in the big city and a few celebrities graduated from here. However, many students strived to go to this school because of the fact their favorite celebrities attended this school. Thus, the competition was very tight and more than 60% of the school were girls because it was easier for parents to approve of a girl following a celebrity's footsteps than a boy.

Slowly, the school got better results than an average high school because of the countless fans that tried to attend the school. However, the school was worthless compared to the top high schools in the country, including the arts and the academics.

The reason Yi Fei wanted to go to the school because it was the closest school nearby, and she wasn't willing to take a bus. She had grown used to walking from a young age and most of the other high schools were an hour away. Perhaps she was also a little biased at the fact her precious Lu Han was going to attend the school. However, certain things become of the past.

"Hey, isn't that the girl who tried to ask you out yesterday?"

Yi Fei's ears suddenly peaked, remembering this familiar voice. Low and thick, yet her ears recognized every word that came out of his mouth as plain screeching. She abhorred the voice and always went to drastic measures to avoid the owner.

'His lackey,' thought Yi Fei, unwillingly looking up.

Then, she found a beautiful group of three, waltzing around a shady apple tree. She first recognized the voice's owner, Xiao Ming. His playful eyes whimsically stared at Yi Fei while Bai Murong has a disdainful look on his face. Bai Murong was the exact opposite of Xiao Ming. Rumored to be gay, the unapproachable, cold, and mean Bai Murong only criticized and avoided the girls. Yi Fei wanted nothing but to arduously avoid boys like Bai Murong who acted above everyone else and wouldn't spare a single glance towards a drowning grandma. Having his intimidating gaze on her, Yi Fei felt awkward and increasingly timid.

Beyond the two was... Lu Han. His mesmerizing gaze shocked Yi Fei; his eyes were so solemn and noble that one could just stare into his eyes for days without a trace of boredom. His soft, long fingers that were holding a small book were positioned outwards while his mouth was giving off a seemingly displeased look. Xiao Ming noticed this subtle action and chuckled, starting to make his move. Yi Fei instantaneously couldn't see Lu Han anymore and couldn't help but focus on Xiao Ming's tall silhouette that started to overshadow her small figure as he gradually walked up to her.

"What made you think you could ever think of dating Big Bro Lu, Little Shrimp?" Xiao Ming coyly tilted his head, dismissively looking at Yi Fei up and down.
