In her second year of high school, Su Ran was forced to sit beside Xie Pengfei, the new transfer student. This dazzlingly bright boy was like a knife, slicing through the carefully disguised world she had built.
Over the next year and a half, Xie Pengfei's almost obsessive tenderness pulled her out of the abyss.
On the day Su Ran got into college, he stood at the school gate holding a sunflower and smiled. "See? You deserve all the light in the world."
But two years later, Su Ran suddenly dropped out and vanished without a trace.
Xie Pengfei searched the whole country like a madman. Years later, during a border anti-drug operation, he saw with his own eyes the girl who should have been living in the sunlight, wearing a bulletproof vest beside a drug lord, her gaze cold as ice.
"Su Ran, come home with me." His hand shook as he raised his gun.
But she smiled and pulled the trigger. The bullet grazed his ear. "Sir, you've got the wrong person."
