First, he talked nonsense in front of the whole school, then adopted every possible means to compel her to submit. This pretentious and imperious man could not be her Mr. Right!

If anyone, Yu Qing high school's perpetually indifferent genius was the (second - after the emotion-fearing captain, and maybe even after Yan Zhiming) least expected to be romantically involved with a girl, much less actually desire to pursue a romantic relationship with said girl. And yet, despite all odds, Zhuo Zhi found himself falling in love with the school's Tang Zhihao. Tang Zhihao (meaning "intellect" and "brave" - according to this one website idk), has always found herself in the romance aisle at libraries (unless they were the school libraries, then she'd find herself drowning in math), but never expected to actually be involved in a romance story herself. So when a friendship - and a romance - began to bud with her high school's legendary tennis prodigy, she was at first in disbelief. Zhuo Zhi x Tang Zhihao (female oc)
