Background / History

Jiang Xueli knew Lin Zhengran from first grade and considers herself his childhood sweetheart. Before becoming close to him, she had no friends; her strict manner as a disciplinary committee member made her unpopular with classmates. She later credited Lin Zhengran with changing that trajectory. 24 347

As a child, she served as a disciplinary committee member. Though outwardly stern, she repeatedly became flustered and fled whenever she encountered Lin Zhengran after an embarrassing exchange, establishing the gap between her strict public image and her easily embarrassed private self. 8

In elementary school, Xueli was targeted by rumors that she liked Lin Zhengran, then by a theft accusation. Ostracized by classmates, she resolved to clear her name after Lin Zhengran supported her and helped investigate. She confronted her deskmate Jiang Xiao after learning Jiang Xiao had implicated her because she disliked seeing Xueli and Lin Zhengran together. 9 17 20

Xueli eventually confessed her feelings for Lin Zhengran in front of her class. Her classmates subsequently stopped teasing her and treated the matter with greater maturity. 21 Lin Zhengran later reciprocated her feelings after she brought him lemonade, making their relationship explicit. 86

She is deeply devoted to Lin Zhengran, having loved him for more than ten years by her own account. Although his relationships with other girls regularly make her jealous, she ultimately accepts a shared relationship dynamic and treats He Qing and Han Wenwen as sisters. 119 211 332 346
