Just after Yu Yue was selected for a new department in the city, she ran into Peng Zhen, her ex-boyfriend from college. He had come from the capital to Ningzhou on a temporary assignment and become her boss's boss's boss.
Part 1:
“How many times do I have to remind you about such a minor issue, Yu Yue? Knowing each other doesn't give you special privileges.” Peng Zhen fixed Yu Yue with his deep-set eyes, his tone stern.
It was the first time Peng Zhen had mentioned and acknowledged that he and Yu Yue knew each other from before, but he did so to scold and warn her.
Yu Yue's already anxious heart sank to the bottom in an instant.
Of course. What special privileges could knowing each other possibly grant her? Especially given how undignified their past had been.
In the end, she'd read too much into it.
Part 2:
Watching Yu Yue anxiously shed tears, Peng Zhen's heart melted.
In that moment, he also saw the feelings she'd been keeping bottled up.
“Why don't you kiss me? Then it won't hurt.”
But Yu Yue's eyes were fixed on his still-bleeding wound. She couldn't possibly pay attention to his somewhat “improper” remark.
“Stop messing around. We should go to the hospital first.” Yu Yue said, getting up to gather their things.
But Peng Zhen caught her wrist firmly with his other hand and pulled her close. “If you won't kiss me, then I'll kiss you.”
With that, he leaned down...
A romance that began with a bet came to an abrupt end because of real-life circumstances. Six years later, they reunited. Peng Zhen never expected that from the moment he saw Yu Yue again, his feelings would keep winning out over reason...
