The Bad-Boy Heartthrob Can’t Forget the New Transfer Student

[School life followed by city life, mutual pining, reunion after years apart, healing, both leads are each other’s first.] Lately, rumors have been running wild around school that Zhang Chenze, the straight-A heartthrob, got into a fight with the school bully over the new transfer student in their class. Apparently, he burned the love letter the bully had written to her right in front of him. Some people even saw them leaving school under the same umbrella on a rainy day. This is huge! Has the super-straight heartthrob fallen for someone? That summer, Zhang Chenze had his heart broken before he could even confess. With red-rimmed eyes, he said he never wanted to see her again. Years later, at a friend’s wedding, their old classmates gathered to play Truth or Dare. Zhang Chenze chose Truth. A friend asked, “What’s the one thing you regret most?” Zhang Chenze’s gaze dimmed. His face flushed from drinking as he said, “I regret not transferring to Haicheng.” Xu Lianrui’s heart gave a faint little tremor. Everyone knew Zhang Chenze doted on Xu Lianrui like she was the most precious thing in the world. Sadly, in the end, she still paid him no mind. When it was her turn, a friend deliberately asked, “Is there anyone here you like?” She replied lightly, “No.” That day, he got blackout drunk. A friend sighed and asked, “Does it have to be her?” His voice trembled slightly. “I can’t be happy without her.” Whenever he saw her, he still lost control. He still fell for her all over again. He would still bend the knee for her once more.
