Heaven's Favored One

At No. 1 Experimental High School, Tao Zhi, a figure of renown, had long dominated both the area beside the school and the final examination hall.

One day, a rumor spread: Miss Tao, for some unknown reason, had taken a fancy to that legendary academic overlord—the great hope of No. 1 High to defeat Affiliated High—the soon-to-be provincial top scorer in the college entrance examination—Jiang Qihuai.

Tao Zhi investigated from many sides and inquired into what kind of girl the overlord liked. First, she had to be obedient, must listen; second, her studies must be good—basically, anyone under seven hundred points was not worth discussing.

Tao Zhi possessed neither of these, and thus, for love, she began doing Five Three, transformed into a ruthless problem-solving machine, and studied from dawn to dusk for half a month. Then, on the monthly exam, she scored three hundred fifty.

When the results came out, Tao Zhi cornered Jiang Qihuai in a small alley. On the surface, it was negotiation; in truth, it was a threat:
“Look, I like you so much. Either you make an exception and let me take the exam twice?”

The youth lazily lifted his peach blossom eyes, gaze indifferent:
“Twice, and you think you can score seven hundred?”

Tao Zhi, extremely perfunctory and utterly insincere, said:
“I score three hundred fifty once, if I take it twice, isn’t that seven hundred?”

Jiang Qihuai: “…”

——“Follow me, ah. Big Sister will spend money on you.”

The day Jin Zhao reunited with Meng Yanxi, her students had just been egging her on in class, asking whether she had ever had a secret crush.

The wind flipped the pages of the book. Jin Zhao smiled faintly and nodded. “Yes. Tall and handsome. He looks cool and aloof, and his mouth is sharp enough that you’d worry he could poison himself just by licking his lips, but actually his heart is very warm, very soft. Aside from occasionally being a bit silly and having poor alcohol tolerance, he doesn’t really have any flaws. He even has exceptionally good luck.”

After class, she waited by the roadside for a DiDi. A black sedan stopped in front of her, unlocking with a “click.”

She was lowering her head to reply to a message and, without thinking, pulled open the door and sat inside.

The car drove off. At the same time, her phone rang, and the DiDi driver’s booming voice echoed in her ear: “You got into the wrong car! I’ve been honking like crazy behind you and you didn’t hear me? That’s a Maybach—over ten million! How did you dare?”

Jin Zhao froze in shock and was just about to confirm with the owner when the man who had been silent in the driver’s seat suddenly lifted his gaze.

Through the rearview mirror, Jin Zhao was caught completely off guard, meeting a pair of pitch-black peach-blossom eyes.

Jin Zhao: “……”

Help! She got into her secret crush’s Maybach by mistake!

[An absurd, silly story that’s sleazy yet faintly tinged with pure love]

As the college entrance examination approached, third-year high school students pulled out all sorts of tricks to release their academic pressure. Xiang Di was no exception—only her way of decompressing was very… peculiar.

——yy her crush (sleazy version).

The number-one academic god of their grade, who also happened to be an iceberg school heartthrob, Bai Jiangxin.

yy makes people happy.

Xiang Di’s mock exam scores shot up by leaps and bounds, and she didn’t notice at all that her crush—who could read people’s thoughts—had been tormented by her sleazy fantasies to the point of being unable to sleep all night, his mock exam scores plummeting disastrously.

Finally, one day, Bai Jiangxin couldn’t take it anymore. He threw down his pen and walked over to Xiang Di’s desk.

The girl had a harmless, sweet-looking face. She blinked, her delicate, cute features filled with innocence.

“Do you need something, Classmate Bai?”

Bai Jiangxin: “Let’s talk.”

“Ah, that wouldn’t be very appropriate, right?” The girl looked cautious about avoiding suspicion. “What if the teacher misunderstands and thinks we’re having an early romance?”

Early romance? She actually had the nerve to say early romance?

The corner of Bai Jiangxin’s mouth twitched.

When clearly, in her head, he had already made her cry who knows how many times.

Later, Bai Jiangxin discovered that she really was a great prophet.

• The writing style is exaggerated and crude, with a large number of vulgar jokes. If you can’t handle the protagonist’s crude inner thoughts, please read with caution.
• The male lead is a sharp-tongued, snarky commentator. If you can’t accept the male lead roasting and mocking the female lead, read with caution. If you can’t accept the female lead having her privacy exposed by the male lead reading her mind, also read with caution.
• Before the college entrance exam, it’s only yy, no dating
• Complaints like “if the female lead were male, she’d just be a sleazy yy guy” are not accepted. Our girl is really great besides being sleazy!
• Not pure romance, and not pure sleaze either—sometimes very sleazy, sometimes very pure romance. The composition is complex
