Seven years ago, when Shen Nian was just eighteen, she tutored a quiet boy to help cover her living expenses. Three months later, she slipped out of his life without a word.
Seven years later, twenty-five-year-old Shen Nian is an operations manager at an internet company. She’s always hated relationships between older women and younger men, until a new colleague from the marketing department appears before her and smiles. “Ms. Shen, it’s been a long time.”
Lu Shiyu is twenty-three, cheerful as a little sun. No one knows that he turned down three job offers just to join this company.
No one knows he has waited seven whole years for this moment.
On his first day at work, he leaned over, took her pen, and held it between his teeth as he teased her. “Sis, you still haven’t kicked that habit.”
Shen Nian blushed for the rest of the day.
Later, he cornered her in the break room and looked down at her. “Seven years and three months, two thousand six hundred and forty-two days. I’ve come to claim the kiss you owed me seven years ago.”
