[Rekindled romance + happy ending, both devoted only to each other + years of secret love + childhood sweethearts + bittersweet romance]
(Deceptively sweet, calculating flirt × confident, flamboyant, lovesick fox of a man)
In the third year of their relationship, Wen Ximei suddenly dumped him. Gu Lian threw a little tantrum, but this time he refused to comfort her.
Gu Lian stared at his phone, hoping to receive a message from her admitting she was wrong. Instead, he got news of her death.
Three years later, Gu Lian happened to see Wen Ximei on the street, though she’d supposedly been dead for three years. He tried to catch up and ask why she had lied to him, but she jumped into a taxi and took off.
Hate grew from his love. He drew closer step by step, intent on getting revenge, only to fall for her all over again as they spent time together, helpless to stop himself.
Wen Ximei smiled playfully at him. “Gu Lian, look how pretty the stars are tonight. Can I kiss you?”
Beneath the plum tree, she threw herself into his arms with red-rimmed eyes and stole a kiss while pretending to be drunk. Then she said, “Gu Lian, how about I chase you this time?”
Only when her kiss landed at the corner of his mouth did he realize that this long-planned revenge was nothing more than an excuse he’d made for himself to love her again.
When they first met, she was a mute girl perched in a tree, sketching the play of light and shadow. When they reunited, she had become the moonlight that stole his sleep with a single dazzling glimpse.
He wanted to forget her, only to discover that some people simply can’t be forgotten.
Wen Ximei’s fingertips brushed the glass jar. The green plums in the amber-colored liquor were always bobbing up and down. This jar of wine, sealed away for three years, was just like the relationship between them, brought to an abrupt end.
Then the doorbell rang, and the familiar figure outside smiled and said, “Wen Ximei, I’m here to keep our date.”
