Bright, sunny girl vs. gentle, easygoing boy
[From school to adulthood / mutual firsts / love at first sight / a mix of sweetness and angst (80% sweet, 20% angst) / two wealthy families]
A transfer student arrived in Class Three, Grade Eleven, at Shangshan High School. Rumor had it that on her very first day, she had swooned into the student rep’s arms because he was so handsome.
Everyone thought it was just gossip and hurried to set the record straight.
Until one day, Xiao Zhihe brought a box of cookies to share. Song Yu rested his chin on his hand at his desk and smiled. “If you give them all away, you won’t have any left.”
Xiao Zhihe didn’t mind. “I’m tired of these anyway. Let’s try another flavor.”
Song Yu nodded, his indulgence barely perceptible. “All right.”
The others stared at each other over their cookies. “Are we part of some kind of play here?”
Later, someone discovered they lived in the same villa.
An unexpected upheaval tore them apart. When they met again, six years had passed.
Xiao Zhihe had meant never to see him again, but Song Yu kept engineering chance encounters, appearing in her life again and again.
One day, Xiao Zhihe calmly looked at the fireworks over the river, a gift from her suitor.
Everyone assumed she would be moved to tears, but she simply turned and walked away, without a hint of regret. “I saw all this when I was eighteen.”
The media followed that remark to Song Yu, the man in control of the Song Group.
Though they seemed to run on parallel lines, the two were utterly entwined after dark.
Years later, Xiao Zhihe, president of the Xiao Group, gave an entertainment interview.
The reporter asked, “What are you most satisfied with in your life?”
Xiao Zhihe looked up at Song Yu, her lips curving into a smile. “My husband.”
Song Yu, I knew from the first moment I saw you that I would marry you.
I know, because I felt the same.
