What does it feel like to fall in love with someone?
Xue Mian thought about it. Perhaps it's knowing full well you shouldn't, yet doing it anyway and being perfectly content with it, like drinking poison to quench your thirst until the poison becomes an addiction.
Chu Ling was that poison for her.
For Chu Ling's sake, she feared neither gossip nor the difference in their seniority. Again and again, she told him: Xue Mian likes Chu Ling.
Fortunately, the person she loved happened to love her, too.
