At eighteen, Gu Huaijin was an untouchable genius, while Lin Xi was the most inconspicuous childhood friend by his side. To support his startup, she agreed to a “contract relationship” with him, pretending to be a loving couple in public while keeping their distance in private. Then, after making a splash on the international stage with her own talent, she turned and walked away without hesitation. For the first time, the man who was always so poised lost control. Under everyone’s gaze, he grabbed her hand tightly, his eyes red:
“I tore up the contract.”
“Lin Xi, I don’t want anything fake anymore. I’ll give you everything I have, for real.”
It was clear that we were still in an ambiguous relationship before, but when we joined the company, a marriage agreement came out of nowhere. It was still written that they were in different schools in the same city, but later when they were together, it was written that they were going abroad. It was so confusing.
