   Summary

   Step 1: Risk your spot on the basketball team by failing a class.
   Step 2: Flirt with your tutor to try to fix it.
   Step 3: Flunk the flirting and the quiz.
   Step 4: Accidentally fall for said tutor, who looks like he hasn't smiled since dinosaurs went extinct.

   Cheng Xiaoshi didn't plan on catching feelings. He just wanted to pass statistics so he wouldn't get benched from the basketball team. But now, he’s plotting regression equations and calculating the trajectory of Lu Guang’s perfect shoulders— and one of them is certainly his preferred variable in this equation.

   Or, Star Basketball Player: Cheng Xiaoshi’s got a kink for hot nerdy tutors.
