[Both inexperienced in love | Happy ending]
[A good girl on the outside, secretly yearning for something, and longing for a rebellious boy & a sunny, cheerful, clingy boy who only has eyes for you]
Ten years ago, Xia Zhi was in second grade. Her neighbor, Shen Qingcheng, was her age, but their families were worlds apart.
Xia Zhi’s parents borrowed 500,000 yuan from the Shen family to start a business. Unfortunately, they had no business sense and ended up making a loss.
Over the past ten years, the Shen family had grown from a tiny company into a conglomerate, while the Xia family still owed them 100,000 yuan.
“Long time no see. Xia Zhi, you’ve grown so tall,” Shen Junhe said as he entered the shabby little rental room and looked around. Only Xia Zhi’s room still held a trace of childhood innocence.
Xia Ming gave an awkward smile. “Yeah, and Chengcheng has grown so tall too. He’s almost taller than you.”
Shen Qingcheng: “Enough talk. Pay me back.”
From then on, Xia Zhi had no dignity left around Shen Qingcheng. She was obedient and sensible, spending her weekends working part-time to pay him back.
Shen Qingcheng was always finding excuses to pester her. When he was tired of having fun, he went to see her; when he had nothing to do, he went to see her too.
He couldn’t stand seeing Xia Zhi ignore him. The only time she would speak to him first was when she paid him back.
“Here’s the money I owe you. I only got paid this much this month.” Xia Zhi handed it to him without hesitation.
Shen Qingcheng leaned close to her ear. “Why make things so hard for yourself? Be my girlfriend, and you won’t have to pay any of it back.”
Then, one year...
Xia Zhi said, “I accept.”
