Xu Ci × Cheng Zhousi
At first, he had all the carefree brightness of a young man.
He was full of contradictions. He loved fighting, yet was fiercely loyal. He liked skipping class, even though he was ridiculously smart. He couldn’t stand teachers going on and on, yet when one was falsely accused, he was the first to stand up for them…
He liked picking on her, but before he knew it, he found himself watching her all the time. He loved seeing her smile, loved her innate optimism and cheerfulness, and loved the way she shone.
When she said she was in a bad mood, he stayed up all night with her, feeling the cool night breeze. When she casually mentioned something she liked, he stayed up all night memorizing vocabulary. When she teased him ever so gently, his ears turned bright red.
After the college entrance exams, he disappeared for a month, and she searched for him countless times.
When he finally came back, all he said was, “I’m sorry.”
But she wanted so much more than just an “I’m sorry.”
Later, they both got into the same university, but she found that his personality had completely changed. His face was as cold as ice, and he was like a beast that wouldn’t let anyone come near.
And yet, after getting drunk one time, this very same man cried in her arms like a child.
