This book is about: [A wealthy Cantonese socialite x A reclusive top student]—a very chatty, well-to-do girl and a very aloof, small-town academic. This book is also known as “Solitary Bamboo,” and here is the synopsis:
During the second semester of her junior year, a new transfer student arrives at Sanhai High School. The class group chat is buzzing with discussions about her. Rumor has it that this new student is from an aristocratic school and is adorned from head to toe in high-end brands that are out of place in their small, backward town. Her hair clip is studded with diamonds, her clothes are LV, her perfume is Prada, and even her slippers cost four figures.
The group is abuzz with awe and wonder at the wealthy socialite.
After a typhoon, Gu Zhu wades through the water to get to school. As she closes her umbrella while passing the Academic Affairs Office, she bumps into the transfer student, who is wearing a white tracksuit. The transfer student points at the water stains on her clothes, which were accidentally splashed on her, and says with a light laugh, “Hey, pretty, could you deal with this?”
Gu Zhu looks up at the person in front of her: her hair is covered by a green baseball cap, she’s wearing a baggy tracksuit and shorts, and on her feet are… a pair of Crocs that cost an average of 30 yuan.
She blinks. The gap between rumor and reality is sometimes deeper than the Mariana Trench.
While everyone expects the socialite to struggle to adapt to life in the small county, Bai Tan has already put on a helmet, hopped on her electric scooter, and taken their beautiful, aloof academic for a ride.
At most, the socialite would only ever complain that the cafeteria chicken didn’t taste like chicken. And she’d ask when she could become Gu Zhu’s roommate.
On the first night of being Gu Zhu’s roommate, the socialite climbs into Gu Zhu’s bed. When Gu Zhu’s eyes widen in shock and she exclaims, “Minors can’t!” the socialite bursts out laughing and says, “Sweetie, I’m already eighteen! Call me ‘jiejie’!” (older sister).
Gu Zhu: “…”
Bai Tan’s pure shadow falls upon the solitary bamboo; as the gentle breeze sways, I hold you in my arms.
