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

EXACTLY A DAY LATER, Laia was still pondering over what she had just learned from the questions thrown in Samuel's way.

Then why didn't he explain his side to her the moment the news spread on local and international media?

Amethyst merely used the rumor to increase her fame.

So why did he not do anything to cease those rumors immediately? Why did he let the rumor be?

He's not on talking terms with Amethyst?

So why did he come home for her? Why return from Germany to see her again?

Why go back home to a woman that he's not even able to talk to?

"Has his feelings for her never faded despite everything that she did to him?" Laia whispers to the silent room. Her mother was out as usual, probably either on her second job of the week or going on another date with Daniel. "Is it really possible to love someone that much?"
