“Taotao, first love in your school days must leave a lasting impression, right?”
Bai Tao: “We were young and clueless. It was just a fling. I’ve forgotten all about it.”
Then one day, the ex Bai Tao had called a fling became her client. He didn’t demand any of those impossible designs, like black in every color of the rainbow, but he still nearly drove Bai Tao crazy.
Gu Yan: “Young and clueless? Just a fling? Forgotten? Then let’s play a grown-up’s game.”
Bai Tao, working overtime until midnight every day: One day I’m going to drop dead. Even as a ghost, I won’t let you off.
Gu Yan: I’d love that.
Much later, Gu Xiaochi climbed onto Gu Yan’s shoulders and tugged his hair as she demanded, “Mom says her hair got thinner because you kept making her stay up late back then.”
Gu Yan, looking guilty: “I didn’t. Don’t make things up.”
