Ridiculous dysfunctional high school romance. Thanks to oliviacirce at Dreamwidth for the beta and strobelighted and lovesongwriter at LJ for brainstorming with me.

An explosive misunderstanding leaves Jiang Cheng assuming he's escaped matchmakers forever and Yu Ziyuan assuming she can solve her son's singleness with the right young man. Only one of them can be right. But what will Jiang Cheng do when the last name on the matchmakers' new list is his friend, Nie Huaisang?

He has never taken a disciple before this one, that is true, but Yin Chen has long been enlightened as to what such an arrangement entails.

"Tell me, sirs, was it not bravely done?"
