[1v1] Meng Xi, who keeps striving and lives a grounded life, vs. Chen Li, who keeps striving and lives a grounded life, gentle on the surface but secretly yandere.
They met in middle school and were neighbors for three years. They reunited in college, and Chen Li confessed to Meng Xi. Their time together as a couple flew by.
But in the end, they broke up.
When they parted, he told her that if she ever wanted a boyfriend, she had to consider him first.
But when she started dating again, she chose someone else! She says it was because she didn’t want to face someone from her past, though really she feels a little guilty.
They meet again on the subway, and Meng Xi suddenly realizes he seems a little different.
Different how, exactly?
Well, his gaze is more alluring, and he’s even clingier with her.
In the dark of night, Meng Xi lies in his arms and vaguely hears him murmur in his sleep.
“You’re so heartless. If I hadn’t come looking for you...”
“Would you really have wanted nothing to do with me for the rest of your life?”
Chen Li: I’ve only ever wanted you. Don’t even think about leaving me.
Meng Xi: So he’s sweet on the outside, but dark inside.
