Restaurant Design Studio Owner x Guesthouse Owner

On the day the college entrance exams ended, Qiu Zhiheng stood Lu Chengye up, then disappeared for eight years.

They reunited on New Year's Eve. She startled him by barging through the door, mistook him for a cleaner, and somehow ended up sharing New Year's Eve dinner with him.

After the meal, she said, "I think we're moving a little fast today... Maybe we should stop seeing each other for now?"

Lu Chengye agreed meekly, but silently resolved never to let her run away again.

After they kept running into each other, Qiu Zhiheng was about to leave for Beijing.

When Lu Chengye heard the news, he went crazy. On his way to catch her, his call finally connected. His voice shook with anger as he shouted, "Qiu Zhiheng, are you going to leave me behind again?"

-

Lu Chengye had no official title or place in her life, yet he and Qiu Zhiheng were kissing and cuddling without a care in the world.

Then one day, he saw her laughing and chatting with another man, sweetly calling him "big brother."

That night, he pretended to be drunk and cornered her against the wall, sounding unbearably aggrieved. "Baby, I want you to call me big brother."

Qiu Zhiheng rose on tiptoe and kissed his lips, her voice tender. "Be good, big brother."

Later, her illness relapsed, leaving her covered in mud.

When he found her, he held her tight, eyes red, and pressed the keys to their new home into her hand. "I'm taking you home."

Qiu Zhiheng looked at the safety charm in her palm, then lifted her eyes to meet Lu Chengye's loving gaze.

"Lu Chengye, let's not go back."

"What?"

"Do you have your ID card? Let's get married."
