Three years ago, he was the shadow behind her that didn't dare to breathe.
Yan Xing, the poorest top student at Nanjing University, gave his time, dignity and every penny of hard-earned money earned from the underground boxing ring to Song Qiuran.
She frowned, and he ran all over the city to buy her a sweet bite.
He thought sincerity could fill the abyss of class, until he heard her cold chuckle: "Yan Xing? It's just for fun, do you really believe it?"
After that night, he disappeared from the world.
Three years later, Song Qiuran's parents died, and Song Lan encountered a business crisis.
On the day Song Qiuran drank himself into the hospital to protect the last relics of his parents, Qin Yan stayed in front of the hospital bed all night.
Soon after, a cooperation case that was beyond Song Lan's reach was handed to her.
She thought he was expressing guilt for what had happened.
Later, Qin Yan became extremely considerate, patient, and even gentle, like light suddenly shining in a pool of stagnant water.
Song Qiuran couldn't believe it, but still fell in.
Until she saw the recording on his phone.
He had heard her words "Yan Xing? Just for fun" she said three years ago a thousand times.
It turns out that all approaches are calculated.
Cooperation is bait, pursuit is a knife, and gentleness is a blunt knife to cut flesh.
He wanted her to taste it again, what it felt like to break herself and give it back to someone, but that person didn't care at all.
Song Qiuran didn't explain, neatly packed up everything and disappeared completely.
It turns out that the moon she wanted had already sunk in the rain three years ago.
