After We Reunited, I Found Out My Archenemy Had Been Secretly in Love with Me for Years

[Rekindled love + bittersweet romance + secret love turned mutual + happy ending]

[Fiery little wildcat + proud young master]

(Originally titled: His Prank)

In the height of summer when she was seventeen, Sheng Qianyu met the natural enemy of her life: Duan Jingci.

A famous figure at Beijing No. 7 High School, he came from a powerful family, was proud and unruly, and had a sharp tongue and a wicked streak.

Despite her excellent grades, she was forever second-best whenever he was around. No matter what she did, he managed to outdo her.

Everyone knew they were sworn enemies. They played tricks on each other and got into fights so often that even the head of student affairs was afraid to see them together.

-

After Sheng Qianyu transferred schools, she thought they’d never cross paths again.

Years later, they met again and immediately started arguing. In the middle of a heated quarrel, he suddenly kissed her by force.

“...”

The onlookers were a little stunned.

Duan Jingci looked smug. “That was my first kiss, and I’m very conservative. You have to take responsibility for me.”

Sheng Qianyu: “...”

-

Someone saw Sheng Qianyu sharpening a knife at home and felt sorry for Duan Jingci.

He laughed it off. “She couldn’t beat me in high school. Don’t worry, it’s no big deal.”

His friend gave him a questioning look. “Are you sure?”

In private, Duan Jingci coaxed her softly. “Don’t be mad, okay? I’ll find somewhere private later and give you three loud kowtows.”

-

The secrets they’d kept hidden in their youth were finally brought to light by time.

She knew they came from completely different worlds and had never imagined spending her life with him.

But Duan Jingci had been the one to fall for her first. He went from teasing her for fun to falling head over heels.

In the name of a prank, I tease you, and I fall for you.
