Unfeeling, flirtatious woman VS proud, sensitive, devoted man
Ruan Ci first met Jiang Jihan after learning her boyfriend had cheated on her with an upperclasswoman. Pathetically, she hid in the corridor and cried, and he happened to show up and offer her a packet of tissues. The second time they met, she'd just recovered from her breakup, and he happened to show up again, accompanying that same upperclasswoman to class.
That was also when Ruan Ci learned he was the upperclasswoman's ex-boyfriend?
"Senior, if you're going to apologize, a plate of grilled chicken wings isn't enough."
Their gazes met, and a faint current stirred in their eyes. Even the air seemed to grow a little hotter.
Ruan Ci blinked, slowly letting her gaze travel up from his jawline until she met his eyes. She playfully raised an eyebrow, as if asking him, "Don't want to?"
Jiang Jihan looked at her steadily for two seconds. His gaze traveled down from her eyes, gradually settling on the small, dark mole at the tip of her nose. Slowly, he tugged up one corner of his mouth and smiled. "So you want me to show you some consideration, too?"
Ruan Ci pretended not to understand, moved her face an inch closer to his, and accidentally bumped his hand with her elbow.
"Sorry, Senior."
She said sorry, but there wasn't a trace of apology in her eyes. She smiled like a fox who'd gotten her way.
Jiang Jihan slowly shook his head, seeming quite helpless. "...It's fine."
Don't make the first move, don't turn them down, don't take responsibility?
No matter. She loved a story full of competition and unrequited love.
But she never expected that the pure-hearted prey she'd imagined was a master hunter from the very start.
He drew her in, step by step, until she became someone else's substitute.
