Chapter 1

"Ding ding ding," a series of urgent bell sounds rang out, and the previously quiet campus suddenly burst into noise.

The final class before the college entrance exam had ended. It was an unusually hot summer day, yet the students chatted and laughed as they flooded out of the school, completely unfazed by the scorching sun.

However, no one came out of Class 18 of Grade 3.

A tall, handsome young man wearing a high-end shirt, standing at 1.8 meters, was forcefully pounding the desk at the front of the classroom.

"Everyone, please be quiet."

At this moment, the homeroom teacher of Class 18 had already left, and the students of Class 18 looked curiously at the study committee member, Zhang Jin, wondering what he was about to say. Some of the girls in the front row looked at Zhang Jin with admiration.

Zhang Jin was handsome, tall, and it was said that his family owned over a dozen restaurants in County A, with assets worth tens of millions, making him a typical rich and handsome guy.

Seeing that everyone's attention was on him, Zhang Jin wore a self-satisfied smile. He slowly took out a red square piece of paper from his pocket, covered with hearts. It was clearly a love letter.

Is Zhang Jin going to confess? The students thought.

At this moment, no one noticed that a large, fat boy sitting in the far-right corner by the wall had suddenly turned pale.

"Hello, Qin Yuxuan. Ever since I saw you at the opening ceremony in the first year of high school, you have been in my heart..." Zhang Jin, the life committee member, read the love letter with deep emotion, but his gaze occasionally swept over a position to his right front, with a hint of mockery at the corner of his mouth.

"Wow! So romantic!"

"If the person he's confessing to were me, that would be great."

Some girls whispered, their gazes directed at a girl sitting in the middle row.

Wearing a simple light white shirt, with a simple ponytail, her face unadorned but exceptionally beautiful and pure, this was Qin Yuxuan, the class president of Class 18 and the school beauty of County A High School. Moreover, it was rumored that Qin Yuxuan's family was even wealthier than Zhang Jin's.

At this moment, Qin Yuxuan's brows slightly furrowed. She was naturally aloof and received countless confessions every day, so she didn't stand up to say anything.

Outside the window, people had gathered, and some even ran into Class 18. Those who were close to Zhang Jin teased him, "Hey, Zhang Jin, not bad, confessing to the goddess now?" Their gazes swept over Qin Yuxuan but quickly retreated, not daring to look directly. It was said that among the 1,100 boys in the senior year of County A High School, more than half liked Qin Yuxuan.

On the podium, Zhang Jin had almost finished reading the love letter. He looked at the students outside the window and said with a mocking smile, "The writer, Yang Tian."

Boom!

The crowd erupted. All eyes involuntarily turned to the wall.

Who is Yang Tian? He was well-known throughout the senior year.

Fat!

One word was enough to describe him!

Standing less than 1.8 meters tall but weighing nearly 300 pounds, his body was all fat, and his cheeks were covered in excess flesh. It was said that when he first started school, he even made several girls cry.

However, despite his "terrifying" appearance, Yang Tian's academic performance was excellent, consistently ranking in the top ten of the entire senior year.

After a moment of silence, the crowd burst into laughter.

"Oh my God, it's actually the fat guy Yang Tian, so disgusting!" A girl with average looks said, looking at Yang Tian and then making a disgusted face.

"Hahaha..."

Yang Tian tried to suppress his anger and looked at Qin Yuxuan with a hint of expectation.

At this moment, Qin Yuxuan was calmly reading a book, her face showing no emotion.

Yang Tian's heart sank. Although he had expected this result, he still harbored a sliver of hope, which was why he didn't immediately snatch the love letter when Zhang Jin read it.

It's over!

Yang Tian sighed softly in his heart. He remembered the first time he saw Qin Yuxuan in the first year of high school, pure and beautiful. This was the first time he had liked a girl.

He struggled to stand up, left his seat, and walked to Zhang Jin, who was smirking, and said coldly, "Give it to me!" His body, covered in fat, looked terrifying.

"Heh, here you go!" Zhang Jin sneered and threw the love letter on the ground, "A toad dreaming of eating a swan!"

Yang Tian bent down with great effort, panting as he picked up the love letter. He didn't care about the gazes of others, carefully folded the letter, blew off the dust, and carefully put it in his pocket. Then he looked at Zhang Jin and said, "Yes, I am a toad, but you are even worse than a toad!" He picked up his schoolbag and slowly walked out of the classroom. As he reached the door, his gaze still lingered on Qin Yuxuan.

Unfortunately, Qin Yuxuan never looked at Yang Tian.

In her heart, he was probably just an insignificant passerby. Yang Tian thought.

Zhang Jin's face turned cold. He knew what Yang Tian meant. Although he was better than Yang Tian in many aspects, his academic performance was always inferior to Yang Tian's. Even though he was the study committee member, his grades were always lower than Yang Tian's, and the teachers always praised Yang Tian after each exam.

Holding the handrail, Yang Tian slowly descended the stairs, rubbing his chest and taking deep breaths.

My body is really in bad shape. Yang Tian thought bitterly.

When he was a child, Yang Tian was not a fat boy. At the age of ten, he fell seriously ill, and his weight quickly increased, growing every year.

Yang Tian's parents took him to many doctors and tried various medications, spending all their savings, but to no avail.

"With my weight, I don't know if I can even live past 30!" Yang Tian thought pessimistically, panting after just a few steps.

He had read many reports about people with severe obesity, and their lifespans were often short.

Yang Tian was just 18 years old, in the prime of his youth, but due to his physique, no one wanted to be his friend.

The love letter Yang Tian wrote, which was clearly in his schoolbag, ended up in Zhang Jin's hands. Who else could have taken it besides the few people around him? And the girl who mocked him, saying he was disgusting, usually relied on him for help with her studies. Now that the semester was over, he had lost his value.

Yang Tian walked toward his home, though only 18, he had experienced much of the warmth and coldness of human relationships, and his mind had matured.

As for his secret love for Qin Yuxuan, Yang Tian had originally planned to keep it buried in his heart, but Zhang Jin had exposed it, making it known to the entire school.

Whatever. Yang Tian thought. There were only three days left until the college entrance exam. He had worked hard for so many years, and now he needed to adjust his mindset and actively prepare for this significant exam.
