Xianxie

Laia is a straight-A student. Her goal is to be the best among everyone else and would do everything to achieve that, just to graduate as class valedictorian. However, behind her helpful and kindhearted persona is a tired young girl who just wants to make her mother proud.

Albeit some hindrances, her life's quite smooth sailing. No competitor for the top spot, and she's ready to be valedictorian. NOT. Everything changes when Samuel, a transferee, suddenly disrupts Laia's peaceful life, steals her top spot, and spites her to no end. How is that going to end well?

Please note that this is a slow-burn romance! If you're not into characters who would take LONG to actually kiss and get the whole romance getting it on, then maybe this novel isn't for you OR maybe it could be, depends on your taste but I do PROMISE to make it worthwhile if you decide to buckle up and stay for the romance you're looking forward to. Have a fun read, everyone!

Laia & The Transferee

Laia wasn't able to sleep yesterday, with the guilty feeling that she had from keeping her real thoughts and how she felt about the whole situation from her friends and the idea of Samuel having to ghost her to keep her from his father's clutches or whatever bad plans the Senator had in store.

Or maybe Laia's just trying to make the asshole the good guy in her train of thoughts-- hoping that he will return to her one day and explain everything because as silly and naive as someone may call her, the girl is sure that if he came back to her she would still end up welcoming him back with open arms.

"I see her over there in the departure area!" Brie exclaims, pulling Laia by her wrist towards the direction of where she presumably saw Vivi.

The two were currently in the airport and had been trying to find Vivi for the last five minutes after they arrived just ten minutes before Vivi's flight.
