『Slow Burn / Kuudere / Perfect Deskmate』
“Does not relying on your deskmate count as growing up?” “It counts as your deskmate being useless.” (gritting teeth) ⊹ ★ ┈┈ 𓏴 𝒫𝒾𝓃𝓀 𝒱𝑒𝓁𝓋𝑒𝓉 𓏴 ★ ┈┈ ⊹ GL / Student / Guiding Lover / Kuudere / Salvation Romance / Formatting by Cealis Assistant & Little Meow Assistant Lin Shuangxu is an undefeated legend, holding the number one spot at Minghai No. 1 High School.
