The Little Trouble-Maker Uses People and Leaves Them

At university, Lin Ran was the campus beauty everyone talked about. She drank, went clubbing, and changed boyfriends, determined to enjoy life while she was young. When she fell for an upperclassman, her roommate warned her, “You should find a warm, caring boyfriend. That guy’s so cold. Other than being handsome, what’s good about him?”

Lin Ran: “Handsome is enough! What else do I need?”

She tried every trick in the book and finally won him over, only to dump him the moment their honeymoon phase ended.

When they met again, he was the one who came looking for her, blocking her doorway. “Let’s start over.”

Lin Ran: “Sorry, I have a boyfriend.”

Han Jun: “Mm.”

Lin Ran: “I went on a trip with him the day before yesterday. We wanted to go sightseeing, but ended up staying in the hotel room for three days. Tsk, you know what I mean.”

Han Jun: “I don’t.”

Lin Ran: “...”

Han Jun: “Keep making things up.”

Lin Ran: “...”

Three years later, Han Jun’s appearance changed Lin Ran’s life once more. Like a ray of sunlight piercing layer upon layer of clouds and shining down on a life lost in darkness, brilliant and bright, she took it for a fleeting Tyndall effect.
