[Reserved, abstinent captain of the criminal investigation team × Sweet reporter with self-respect]

When they first meet, the man is icy and distant. Chu Yi takes one look at him and is instantly captivated by his handsome face.

She pursues him; he runs.

Later, the tables turn. Like a big wolfdog, he keeps wanting more until he has completely claimed her.

Cars pass back and forth, but Cheng Ran has yet to leave. A stretch of road lies between them.

“Don’t you still have something to take care of?”

Chu Yi toys with the ornament at her waist.

“I’ll leave once you’re in the car.”

Cheng Ran watches the girl. She lowers her head and doesn’t look at him.

“Didn’t you say you didn’t believe in Buddha? Who were you turning that prayer wheel for?”

Cheng Ran doesn’t answer. Instead, he asks, “What about you? Who were you turning it for?”

Chu Yi looks up and meets his gaze. His eyes seem to hold a vast sea of stars.

She doesn’t know that he was turning it for her.

The man, eyes closed beneath the cold shower, suddenly stills and turns to look at the girl who has burst into the bathroom.

His brow furrows, his deep, dark eyes shadowed.

Chu Yi wraps her arms around his lean waist, and his body goes rigid.

But afraid the cold water will chill her, he instinctively reaches up to turn it off.

Chu Yi clasps both arms around his firm waist, abandoning her usual reserve.

She rises onto her toes, opens her mouth, and boldly kisses him.

The man is stiff with tension, afraid to move.

Tears stream down the girl’s face as she curses at him.

“Cheng Ran, you’re a coward.”

His heart catches.

Then he takes the lead and kisses her.
