Summary
I was a total try-hard, the kind of person who had been dead set on taking first place ever since I was little. Whenever I saw that worshipful look people gave top students directed at me instead, it felt so good my scalp tingled. Then I got to high school, and I became the eternal runner-up. Later, the person ranked first started dating the person ranked third. After the results for yet another quiz came out, I heard someone say, “Why is Zhao Ran always stuck between that little couple like a third wheel? Hahahahaha…” Passing by an empty classroom, I overheard the top student in our grade tutoring his girlfriend. “Baby, if you score just a few more points next time, our names can be right next to each other.” “…” That was when I went full villain mode. You want your names next to each other, huh? Fine. I’ll take first place and make your dream come true!
