A proud yet insecure social butterfly who makes her own way and builds a brilliant future
Lin Anyi had just landed in England after a flight of more than ten hours, ready to surprise her girlfriend abroad.
When the door opened, someone else was lying in the bed.
She stood at the door and called Li Xu:
“Li Xu.”
“How did you end up like this?”
“I beg you, even if you've gone rotten, become shameless, and sunk to new lows, don't make me look at you.”
Years later, they met again at work.
The balance of power had shifted.
Lin Anyi decided to tease her a little. She crooked a finger, and Li Xu asked, “What can I do for you, Ms. Lin?”
Only later did she understand: it wasn't because Lin Anyi still had feelings for her.
It was a hook Lin Anyi had deliberately dangled in front of her.
There was no rekindling of an old romance behind that door.
Only the debts she had left unpaid, one by one, waiting for her to walk in and settle them herself.
Their sincere feelings came at different times, and their personalities switched places as the story went on:
The one who used to love having fun was the first to settle down.
The slow, awkward one was the one who never came back.
Both have a romantic past | First love | Rekindled love | The pursuer's long road to redemption | Workplace and school life
Content notes:
1) Includes dating culture, so proceed with caution if that's not your thing.
2) They test and wear each other down early on, with no misunderstandings. They have an immature, push-and-pull relationship at first. The story doesn't whitewash their behavior and focuses on their growth afterward.
3) One of the two has had multiple romantic experiences in the past. This is mentioned only briefly; the focus is on the main relationship and personal growth. Proceed with caution if that's not your thing.
4) This story is written for women and includes some misandry. I'm worried male-oriented readers might accidentally pick it up.
