Hold On Tight

[One-on-one, both devoted to each other: a refined, scheming, troubled man × a graceful, elegant, adorable woman]

“If my dad wanted to marry you one day, what would you do?”

“Either he’d gone crazy, or I had.”

Vows of eternal love can’t stand up to a change of heart.

So Ruan Lian’s motto was: torment Song Yu until he fell hopelessly in love with her.

Song Yu had always kept Ruan Lian like a caged songbird.

He thought she was charming and pretty.

But one day, the songbird flew away.

Panicked, he shouted after her, “Who said I wasn’t willing to marry you? I am!”

Later, Ruan Lian sat on the sofa, smiling as she looked at Song Yu. “Teacher Song, I still don’t understand that problem you taught me last time. Could you teach it to me again?”

Song Yu tugged at his tie. “No rush. We have all the time in the world.”
