Shi Jing, who runs off after flirting and pretends to be unfazed, vs. Zhou Chu, the playboy who turns over a new leaf
At eighteen, Shi Jing was helpless and lost, at her very worst. In the youth she most wanted to forget, the one person she could never forget was a boy named Zhou Chu.
He helped her grow, led her toward the light, and told her that after cloudy days, the sun would always shine again.
Her feelings grew without restraint, and Shi Jing said, “Zhou Chu, I think I'm falling for you!”
Zhou Chu paused, then replied calmly, “Shi Jing, I'm not right for you!”
Years later!
In a bar booth, a woman wears a sultry red pout, her eyes alluring as smoke curls from her lips.
A man corners her against the wall with forceful, domineering intensity. The fury he struggles to suppress in his eyes looks ready to consume her at any moment. “You got all dolled up like this?”
Shi Jing looks at him coldly. “It's none of your business!”
“How is it not my business?” Zhou Chu grabs the arm she's trying to pull away, his eyes faintly red. His voice is full of gritted teeth. “You flirt with me and then refuse to take responsibility. You treat me like a wildflower by the roadside, stepping on me whenever you feel like it!”
Shi Jing: “...” What kind of comparison is that!
After a long pause, his voice softens. “I turned you down, but couldn't you have tried harder? Why did you run away?”
Shi Jing sneers. Who does he think he is?
