Protagonist:

Lin Xiyu

Noon was the hottest time of day; even holding a Big Cattail Fan to fan herself, she was still drenched in sweat.

At home, she dressed casually.

Her black, soft hair was braided into pigtails. She wore a washed-and-faded artificial cotton short-sleeved blouse with small floral prints, paired with loose exercise shorts, revealing her fair, slender calves.

When Wang Fan rode his motorcycle around the alley entrance, he caught sight of the girl sitting under the eaves at a glance.

Her smooth, tender skin was white enough to dazzle; her eyes seemed scorched, leaving him momentarily dazed.

After a moment of stunned silence came endless regret.

Was he blind!

How had he not noticed the Study Committee Member was so beautiful before, letting his Lao Pengyou get there first?

"Wang Fan? Why are you here?"

Hearing the motorcycle's engine roar, Lin Xiyu instinctively looked over, and sure enough saw Wang Fan's face—usually not serious in the least, slick and greasy.

Wang Fan was unlike Guben; though his looks were top-notch, the kind that made girls scream and chase after him, his conduct was truly hard to describe.

Compared to Guben, they were two extremes, worlds apart.

Guben had been a good student since childhood, top of his class, courteous, radiating scholarly refinement; whoever saw him would praise him as a refined gentleman, a gentle and handsome youth.

Wang Fan, however, was the bottom of the class; even attending No. 1 High School was thanks to his father pulling strings, using the backdoor, spending a fortune on banquets and gifts to secure him an auditing quota.

She truly couldn't understand: someone as smart as Guben, why on earth would he become Lao Pengyou with Wang Fan?

One a study god, one a study dunce, inseparable—truly baffling.

"Guben sent me..."

Wang Fan was a Person of Influence; how could he miss her surprise? To avoid too much awkwardness, he swiftly took a Kraft Paper Bag from the motorcycle's rear compartment and tossed it over.

"What is this?"

Lin Xiyu opened the Kraft Paper Bag, looked inside, and her pretty face changed color.

"Maney."

Wang Fan, thinking himself very trendy, said an English word, then turned the handlebars around.

"Don't go."

Lin Xiyu grabbed his clothes and returned the money: "If you don't explain clearly, I can't take this money."

"Guben gave it to you."

Wang Fan glanced at the small hand clutching his clothes—fair and pink—and his heart grew warm; he seized the chance to get off and get close to the beauty.

Lin Xiyu didn't believe him: "Where did he get so much money? You're not tricking me, are you?"

"Why would I trick you?"

Wang Fan, harboring his little scheme, waved his hand in front of her eyes and showed off: "You don't know Guben and I are business partners? We opened an Internet Cafe; our monthly net profit is at least this much..."

"He'd go into business with you?"

Lin Xiyu widened her eyes, incredulous.

"Is that the point?"

Wang Fan looked at his five outstretched fingers, somewhat at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

"To me, that is the point."

Lin Xiyu muttered softly: "A study god and a study dunce—how did they end up together?"

"So that's what you care about?"

Her muttering was a bit loud; Wang Fan heard it, and the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily.

"Uh."

Lin Xiyu, belatedly realizing she had accidentally spoken her mind, blushed at the Ear Root, somewhat embarrassed.

"That's right; he's a study god, I'm a study dunce."

Wang Fan had a thick face; embarrassment lasted only a moment, and he quickly resumed his usual carefree expression: "The two of us can be Lao Pengyou only because our tempers click and our souls resonate—in short, we're the same kind of person."
