[Fragile, devoted CEO, pretending to be a sweet puppy, carefully plotting at every turn × emotionally oblivious, aloof scholar, stumbling her way into love]
He Beijia never imagined she would run into Meng Yishi, the friend who had vanished without a word ten years ago, while on a blind date.
Even more unbelievable, the once-adored golden boy had become a male model, shamelessly begging her, “Take care of me.”
She agreed to take him in, only for him to disappear without a word once again.
When they met again, he was an IT star, the center of attention at a celebration banquet.
He Beijia sat in a corner, sipping her drink, cool and aloof, as if she had never met the man in front of her.
That night, the alcohol went to her head, and she finally let her guard down.
On the street, she clung to his lean frame like a kitten and leaned close to his ear, her red lips parting. “I think I’m falling for you. What should I do?”
He gave her a wicked smile, pulled her firmly into his arms, and answered with a possessive, lingering kiss. “I’ve always been yours. I want no one but you.”
After the kiss, he carried her home, since she couldn’t hold her liquor.
The next day, Weibo was in an uproar. The top trending topic read: “Celibate heartthrob Meng Yishi passionately kisses mystery woman on the street.”
He Beijia lounged lazily in bed, looking at the trending topic and at the man teasing her beside her. “You… celibate?” she joked.
He flashed a roguish smile and leaned over her again. “You’re the exception.”
It was a long time before He Beijia understood that every encounter before had been carefully arranged by him; that every time feelings had flared, he had been pursuing her relentlessly; and that every time he had stepped back, he had been left battered and broken.
No one knows where love begins, only that it runs deep. His inability to let go had finally met her inability to walk away.
Pretty good
👍 Very good, come on!
