Background / History

Xue Yuantong is a Class 8 student at Yuzhou No. 4 High School. Teachers regard her as the school’s strongest science genius since its founding and a serious candidate for top scholar; they avoid disturbing her sleep and personally bring documents to her classroom instead. 966

She shares a close, frequently playful bond with Xue Chuchu and spends substantial time with Jiang Ning, who accompanies her on outings, brings her food, and looks after her during mishaps. 192 198 233

Xue Yuantong is confident, competitive, and highly self-assured. She challenges Jiang Ning at arcade games, argues with him over her height, and seeks others’ opinions of her badminton ability. 421 752 1026

She is also clever and opportunistic. She bargains independently at the market, retrieves forgotten red envelopes before leaving a feast, and tricks Bai Yuxia into fetching water for her. 248 515 717

Her confidence can become childish possessiveness or manipulation. She treats Jiang Ning as her “servant,” jealously guards food, persuades Xue Chuchu to clean her room under the pretext of searching for missing sugar oranges, and enjoys trying to scare Jiang Ning. 583 937 748

Despite this, she shows empathy and loyalty toward those close to her. She feels sorry for rabbits being sold at a market, shares money she earns with Xue Chuchu, and grows more assertive when facing Bi Yue’s taunts. 464 516 719
