The Genius Girl and Her Childhood Pal: From Rivalry to Mutual Love

share time: 2025-10-25 00:30:22

Zheng Wenyan, a genius girl, was Zhou Shichao's "natural enemy" since childhood—always outscoring him in exams, winning countless math Olympiad awards, even skipping grades faster than him. Zhou refused to lose, chasing her to compete for years, but gradually turned his "need to win" into a longing to "stand beside her". After college entrance exams, Zheng went abroad for a PhD, and they lost touch. Five years later, they reunite: Zheng is a core researcher at a top institute, while Zhou becomes the partner in charge of her new project. The former rival now sits across from her discussing plans. When Zhou finally musters the courage to confess his decade-long crush, Zheng takes out a yellowed primary school notebook—inside are the candy wrappers he secretly gave her, plus a scribbled note: "When you catch up, I'll say I like you too."
