"Matching outfits aren’t the problem… the uglier one is the awkward one."

This phrase had echoed in Tong Yao’s mind for over two months, ever since the start of their tense second semester of senior year.

Unbelievable. He, an ordinary nobody, had been matching outfits with Jiang Jinyue for three whole months.

So tell me, who was the awkward one here?

Tong Yao considered himself the most average person in the world—average build, average looks, average grades, average family. He was so unremarkable that he could walk down the street unnoticed. And yet, lately, he had become the topic of conversation for many, all because of this ridiculous coincidence.

Jiang Jinyue didn’t used to dress like this. He came from a wealthy family, with parents who ran businesses overseas. He was chauffeured to and from school in a private car, and his wardrobe was filled with high-end brands that Tong Yao had never even heard of. In short, he was: cool.

Not that wearing the same outfit as Tong Yao made him any less cool—he was still impossibly attractive—but Tong Yao just couldn’t wrap his head around it. Why had Jiang Jinyue’s fashion sense taken such a drastic turn? Was he deliberately trying to ruin his own good looks?

With his head down, Tong Yao walked into the school building under the weight of countless stares. At a corner, he suddenly bumped into a solid back with a loud "thud."

"Oww!" He clutched his forehead and looked up—his eyes landed on the giant "肥宅" across someone’s chest.

It was Jiang Jinyue.

Jiang Jinyue looked equally surprised. Standing next to him was a girl with a ponytail, holding a heart-shaped box of chocolates. Her face turned beet red as she glared at Tong Yao, clearly mortified by the interruption.

Realizing that he had just crashed into someone's confession scene, Tong Yao hurriedly bolted up the stairs before he could even register Jiang Jinyue’s "Are you okay?"

Jiang Jinyue withdrew his gaze and returned to his usual cold demeanor. "Sorry, but I can’t accept this," he said, turning down the girl’s chocolates.
