Baby, Kiss Me One More Time

A timid, insecure, resilient good girl & a spoiled, handsome golden boy adored by everyone

Yun Ran had done two of the bravest things in her life.

The first was when the lights went out during evening study hall in her sophomore year of high school. She ran into Xie Jingyu in the hallway and took the initiative to approach him.

Xie Jingyu arched a brow and sneered. “You like me?”

Yun Ran gave a vague little nod.

He stared at her and drawled lazily, “If you like me, you can do better than just saying so.”

After a long pause, Yun Ran pressed her lips to the black beauty mark at the corner of his eye.

“Does this count as doing better?”

When they met again in college, Xie Jingyu was still the golden boy everyone adored, perched high above the rest. He was always dating someone new, and whenever he broke up with a girlfriend, she'd get a breakup payment of two hundred thousand yuan.

And Yun Ran was still just another nobody, daring only to hide in a corner and secretly admire him.

At a dinner party, Yun Ran got drunk and worked up the courage to ask him, “Are you... not planning to find a girlfriend?”

Xie Jingyu had a cigarette between his lips. He exhaled a smoke ring, then went along with her question. “Of course I am. Why wouldn't I?”

After a long while, he heard her ask timidly, “Could it be me?”

Later, Yun Ran left Xie Jingyu's life for good, vanishing without a trace as if she had never been there.

Xie Jingyu went mad searching for her.

When they met again six years later, Yun Ran had become an accomplished international interpreter.

Late at night, he pinned her in a corner against the wall, his eyes bloodshot as he demanded, “Yun Ran, I won't hold anything against you anymore. I just want you to love me one more time.”

Yun Ran clenched her teeth, ready to refuse, but as her gaze shifted, she saw a white cloud tattoo on his collarbone.

It had long since become a part of her.
