For Ou Jue, the best way to love someone is to spoil her like a little child.

Third High School, Class 6, First Year
The warm breeze lifted the curtains in the classroom, creating soft, wavy arcs.
The classroom was quiet, with a hint of laziness lingering in the air.
At the podium, the math teacher pushed up the glasses on his nose and spread the textbook out on the desk. "Today, we'll be learning a new formula. Everyone, please turn to page 32 in your textbooks."
Sounds of flipping pages filled the room…
In the second-to-last row by the window, Xia Xiyan rested her head on her arms and yawned out of boredom.
Math class is the most boring ever...
Formulas and all that—them knowing me doesn't mean I know them!
Her deskmate lowered her voice and said, "Xiyan, keep an eye on the teacher for me. I'm going to play a quick game."
Xiyan leaned closer. "Wilderness Showdown again?"
"Yeah, yeah!"
Wilderness Showdown was a game that, within just six months, had taken all of Country L by storm. It had already surpassed hundreds of millions of downloads in the app store and led the mobile gaming trend.
Twenty minutes later, her deskmate successfully got "chicken dinner" and took a deep breath, looking at Xiyan with satisfaction. "By the way, did you know this game belongs to the DT Group? You've heard of the DT Group, right?"
Xiyan shifted her position lazily and replied, "Nope."
"What the heck, how can you not know the DT Group! You're so clueless. The DT Group's young master, Ou Jue, is a total IT prodigy! Rumor has it, he was one of the main developers of this game! He's only 19 this year! And, most importantly, Ou Jue is super, super handsome!"
Ou Jue?
The name did sound vaguely familiar.
Xiyan's mind started to drift, and her eyelids grew heavy.
She buried her face in her arms and said to her deskmate, "Alright, now it's your turn to watch the teacher for me. I seriously need a nap—I'm dying over here."
Her phone in her pocket suddenly vibrated.
Ugh...
Without opening her eyes, Xiyan fumbled for her phone. She squinted one eye open to check the screen.
The caller display read: Dad.
Dad...
Xiyan froze for a second, pouted her lips, decisively hung up, shut off the phone, and returned to her pseudo-dead position.
The classroom was so quiet, the only sound left was the scribbling of notes by her classmates.
Who knew how much time had passed…
Bang—
The classroom door was suddenly pushed open with force.
What the heck?!
Xiyan snapped out of her drowsiness, nearly jumping out of her seat in fright!
Quickly, she followed the gaze of her classmates and looked toward the door.
Oh my gosh.
Standing at the doorway was an unbelievably stunning boy!
The boy was tall, slender, and upright. His uniform was neat and tidy, though unbuttoned, revealing a spotless white shirt underneath.
His handsome face had sharp features, as if carefully sculpted by the divine hand of the heavens.
And his cold, black eyes—oh, those eyes—were like an endless galaxy, impossibly deep and mysterious.
Just standing there, he exuded an aura that seemed to dominate everyone in the room, carrying an unmistakable air of nobility.
Seriously… way too handsome!
Xiyan was so awestruck, she forgot how to function.
The boy's thin lips parted slightly, and in a cool yet commanding voice, he spoke, "Where's Xia Xiyan from this class?"
What??
Xiyan's heart skipped a beat, and a look of pure panic spread across her face.
Some star-struck classmate eagerly pointed at Xiyan. "That's her! The one sitting by the window in the second-to-last row!!"
The boy's gaze swept through the room and landed squarely on Xiyan.
Those icy eyes!
One glance, and it felt like they were brimming with frost, chilling her to the bone!
He strode over with his long legs, exuding a dominating presence, heading straight for Xiyan.
Xiyan stared, wide-eyed and speechless, as the unexpected boy grabbed her wrist without warning and dragged her out of the classroom!
Ahhhhh! Handsome guy—who on earth are you?!
