Huo Mian froze for a second. Then, memories rushed into her mind. She remembered that because she skipped a grade, she didn't start grade 10 until two weeks into the new semester.
Huo Mian's grades on the middle school entrance examination were one of the highest in the city. Therefore, various prestigious high schools offered her admission.
Finally, she chose Second High School because it was close to home, and the education quality was good.
Back then, when she arrived at the school, the school prepared a banner and the principal himself went to greet her. The school gave her a full-ride, 3-year scholarship.
They even paid for her food and accommodation, and she made it onto the headlines of their local newspaper.
Back then, Huo Mian's mother and Uncle Jing were both incredibly proud of her.
Huo Mian, on her first day of school, heard all sorts of rumors about Qin Chu.
She heard that he was an arrogant individual with countless fans. However, he looked at the girls, who were in love with him, like they were idiots.
She also heard that Qin Chu was extremely germophobic since he always kept people at arm's length.
At school, he had his own desk and maintained a strict distance between the rows. He even had his own table during mealtimes.
This, of course, was because GK donated a huge sum to the school, so Qin Chu received special treatment.
He existed like a god, and even the principal had to treat him with respect.
And that was until Huo Mian appeared in his life…
Huo Mian didn't pay attention to any of the unspoken rules. She was a ditzy girl who accidentally kicked a soccer ball right into Qin Chu's face.
The pretty boy was almost disfigured…
During lunchtime, Huo Mian accidentally slipped on her feet and spilled an entire bowl of vegetable soup right onto Qin Chu.
Most importantly, Qin Chu never got mad at her.
Some of the super jealous girls secretly gossiped that Huo Mian was doing it on purpose and was playing push and pull with him to spark his interest.
They all thought that she wanted GK's prince, but no one knew how fearless Huo Mian was back then.
She didn't care about Qin Chu. Even if it was someone more powerful, she would still ignore them.
She had a lot of attitudes and would even fight against little punks when outnumbered 1 to 4.
She was so fearless that she would beat up the big boys from another class just to protect her class's reputation.
She also had the ability to ditch school and not study, but still get the highest grades in their year.
She was arrogant enough to disregard anyone, even if that person was the prince of GK.
"Ahem, don't include me. I treated you like a passerby. I wasn't your fan back then." Huo Mian dry-coughed.
"Do you know what I was thinking about when I first met you?" Happy memories flooded through Qin Chu as he smiled and asked Huo Mian.
Huo Mian smiled, "You must be thinking, 'how did this little brat get in?'"
Huo Mian was only 14 years old when she began attending 2nd High School, making her the youngest in their year.
The age restriction there was 17 simply because schoolwork was too hard, and the school was afraid that younger kids wouldn't be able to keep up.
However, Huo Mian was different. She got a perfect mark on her middle school examination, so Second High made an exception and offered her admission.
Back then during an interview, Huo Mian also said something preposterous.
A reporter tried to provoke her by saying, "So what if you have got a perfect grade? I got 90% on some of the tests for my middle school examination as well. Truth be told, there's not much of a difference between 90% and 100%."
Huo Mian's reply was audacious and shocking.
She said, "I got 100% because there are only so many points on the test. However, you got 90% because that's all you can get. You can't compare yourself to me."
The reporter was flabbergasted at Huo Mian's reply.
Qin Chu was deeply attracted by her when he saw this interview…
He raised his hand and placed it on Huo Mian's shoulder. Enunciating each word, he said, "When I first saw you on TV, I thought, 'I'm going to make this girl my wife for sure'."
Huo Mian didn't expect that Qin Chu would say that, and her entire face turned bright red.
As Huo Mian was spacing out, Qin Chu gracefully lowered his head and kissed her…
