A Fine Night and Warm Wine

A gentle, soft-hearted beauty who comes into her own × a business-world tycoon Wen Sheng’s youth was lonely and filled with self-doubt. Caught up in the pressures of exam-oriented education, she was suffocated by her relationships with other people and her parents. After repeating a year, she chose to leave it all behind and go to college in Nancheng. The first time she met Shen Yanchu, she was dragging her luggage and looking rather disheveled, while he sat inside an expensive car, elegant and refined. The second time they met, she caught a ride with him back to school. Chance encounters kept coming, and the flirtatious push and pull of adulthood broke down their defenses. The two of them seemed to be having a fleeting, illusory romance. One was a noble young man, pure and radiant as moonlight; the other was an ordinary person trapped in the realities of life. Wen Sheng thought the best ending would be no ending at all. That way, they could avoid all the love, hate, entanglements, and heartbreak. But a beautiful night can make anyone lose themselves. Wen Sheng: “Shen Yanchu, what if I make my love for you an increasing geometric sequence?” She only says she likes him, but the sequence keeps growing. When that liking reaches its peak, it becomes love. I long for one hundred percent love. To me, one hundred percent is the amount I felt at the very beginning, so all I ask is that it never diminishes. Shen Yanchu: “Wen Sheng, you’ll always have one hundred percent from me.” A scandalous rumor hits Wen Sheng while she’s sick. Dizzy and feverish, she nevertheless realizes clearly how vast the difference is between their status and standing. Surely everything between them should end here. But Shen Yanchu rushes over and sets everything back on course. He’s alone in the world, and he won’t let worldly interests and relationships trouble her. No fiancée, no family interests, just the two of them. Shen Yanchu dreams that he has lost her and found her again. When he wakes, he holds Wen Sheng tightly and tells her, “Waking up, I love you all the more.”
