Chapter 1

It took me three whole years of chasing Jiang Bai before I finally got him.

Everyone said he only agreed to be with me because I’d pestered him into exhaustion.

Personally, I think he must have discovered my hidden charms!

I’m smart, lovable, cute, and beautiful-how could Jiang Bai possibly find me annoying?

So, I pressed him on why he liked me.

He looked like he was struggling to find an answer. Putting down his pen, he thought for a long time before saying, “I was moved by your impoverished yet unyielding spirit.”

I was completely stunned. If anyone else had said that, it might have been a lie.

But looking at Jiang Bai’s expression, I knew it was the truth.

He was the type of person who never lied to me.

Well, damn. This was going to be a problem.

It turned out that in Jiang Bai’s eyes, I had always been a resilient, cheerful, and broke little idiot.

It was all my fault. Over the past three years, I’d played the part of the poor student so well-constantly mooching meals and acting broke-that I’d overdone it.

I looked at the notification on WeChat. My dad had just transferred 100,000 yuan to me for living expenses.

Big Tycoon: “Daughter, your mom said your ban is lifted starting today. Your allowance is restored!”

If this were the past, I would have taken that money and treated everyone to three days and nights of non-stop partying.

But now, I didn’t dare.

I silently tapped ‘Refund’ and swiftly deleted the transfer record from our chat history.

Seeing my silence, Jiang Bai sighed and said softly, “Finish these two pages of problems, and I’ll take you out for Mao Xue Wang.”

Since our junior year, Jiang Bai had spent every day buried in the library, and he’d been forcing me to study for the postgraduate entrance exams with him.

As for me? I was the definition of inconsistent. I’d study for a bit and then slack off for days. The moment I opened a book, I wanted to sleep. Jiang Bai was often at a total loss with me.

I looked at him gloomily and said, “I don’t want to eat Mao Xue Wang. I want to eat you.”

The tips of Jiang Bai’s fair ears turned red, bit by bit. He gave my hand a firm squeeze.

He had cold, sharp features and looked every bit like an unattainable Flower on a High Peak.

But once you got close to him, you realized his ears turned red incredibly easily.

Jiang Bai had a cold exterior, but his heart was even colder. It hadn’t been easy to warm him up.

Looking back at my three-year history of chasing him, anyone would sigh and say that if I’d put that much effort into my studies, I could have gotten into Tsinghua University or Peking University.

Everyone thought I chased Jiang Bai because I was shallow and obsessed with his looks, but in reality, I had been plotting this for a long time.

Because Jiang Bai was a student from a poor family whom my father had been sponsoring, his name had been the backdrop of my entire high school career.
