I Gave Up on My Crush, Then Went Public with His Brother

[Devoted 1V1 first love]+ [Campus]+ [Healing and redemption]+ [Secret love comes true]+ [Love long in the making]

After the Su family went bankrupt, Old Master Zhou brought Ju Song to live with the Zhou family.

She and Zhou Jiashu grew up together, and Grandpa Zhou arranged a childhood betrothal for them.

When she was twelve,

Zhou Jingwang, the illegitimate son the Zhou family had living outside the household, was brought home by his mother to be recognized. To protect Zhou Jiashu, Ju Song hit the boy in the forehead with an ashtray.

Young Ju Song spent her days following Zhou Jiashu around, never expecting to have anything to do with his half-brother, Zhou Jingwang.

Sometimes she thought Zhou Jingwang must hate her.

She never imagined that on the night Zhou Jiashu abandoned her, this was the man who would save her.

Thinking back to the scar she had left on him when they were children,

Ju Song held out an ashtray to the young man. “I’m sorry. Why don’t you hit me back? I promise I won’t fight back.”

Zhou Jingwang smiled and teased her. “If I hit you with this, I’m afraid it wouldn’t just be your forehead that got hurt. You’d be disfigured.”

Thirteen-year-old Zhou Jingwang saw her for the first time.

At fifteen, Zhou Jingwang wrote a song for her.

At seventeen, Zhou Jingwang took a bar gig as a folk singer so he could buy her a birthday present.

At eighteen, Zhou Jingwang changed his college entrance exam choices for her.

At twenty, they got together.

A battered guitar, a ten-square-meter rented room.

The final line of the lyrics went:

“That year, I loved folk music, and I loved you.”
