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

THE NEXT DAYS WERE BIZARRE, to say the least.

After the kiss between him and Sophie (that Samuel desperately tried to bury at the back of his mind) saying that Sophie had been clingy was an understatement.

The girl would always find a way to make her way to where Samuel was and would always ask him to accompany her everywhere, whether it be to the cafeteria or at the cinema to watch a martial arts movie that Samuel tried his best to not yawn loudly at all the mediocre acting and bad dialogues.

He also couldn't ignore the glares that the girl with him would direct at those who would spare him a simple glance. If those glances would turn into stares, Sophie would loop her hand around his arm and pull him closer.

Did she perhaps misunderstand because he didn't push her away after that kiss?
