Sheng Jiahe first met Lin Nian in her senior year of high school, when her good-for-nothing older brother got into trouble and she was cornered by a group of people in an abandoned alley near the school.

She looked past everyone and fixed her gaze on the boy leaning against the wall, so refined and nonchalant. “I think you should talk to me.”

“Why?” Lin Nian looked up at her, his tone casual.

Sheng Jiahe pointed at her older brother, Sheng You, whose face was bruised and swollen. “You can do whatever you want to him. I won't say a word. But I can help you work out how much it'll cost to hurt him.”

After she explained this all on her own,

a snicker came from beside her. It was Lin Nian, who had been silent until then.

“That's too bad. I happen to have plenty of money.”

Years later, her blind date was standing at the restaurant entrance, just after being turned down by Sheng Jiahe, when a low, thoughtful voice rang out: “Sheng Jiahe, after all these years, you're still so good at rejecting people.”

“Know... when... to... cut... your... losses...”

As Lin Nian repeated those words, his voice was devoid of warmth, as though he were slowly chewing each one over.

Suddenly, a mocking smile curled his lips. “No wonder it sounded so familiar! Sheng Jiahe, you said the same thing to me eight years ago, didn't you?”

One day, his good friend teased him, “If you wanted, countless women would throw themselves at you. What is it about Sheng Jiahe that's kept you hung up on her all these years?”

A smile touched the corners of Lin Nian's eyes, but he didn't bother to answer.

In his eyes, Sheng Jiahe was like a rose with hidden thorns.

He knew she truly loved him.

And she wanted to be more than just the wind beneath his wings.
