[Reformed Bad Boy x Campus Healing x Rekindled Romance]
The summer after Jiang Ci died, Meng Li met Yan Zhaoye.
The young man had an exceptionally beautiful pair of peach-blossom eyes. He was flamboyant and so proud he seemed invincible, but those eyes looked just like the eyes of someone she would never see again.
So the first time they met, she looked at him with tears in her eyes.
Everyone said Yan Zhaoye was a carefree, brilliant young man. He raced cars and did extreme sports, choosing the most dangerous things to do. There was never a shortage of pretty girls around him, and he would never settle down for anyone.
At first, Meng Li thought so too.
But later, the person who hated trouble most of all broke his principles for her again and again. The boy who had never bowed his head to anyone gradually learned to comfort people and give in. He even began to fear death.
He thought he had finally found a reason worth staying for.
But he didn't know that from the very beginning, their relationship had been hiding a secret that could never be spoken aloud.
Until one day, Yan Zhaoye asked her with red-rimmed eyes:
"Meng Li, while I was getting ready to propose, were you just thinking about how to leave me?"
Only then did she understand that someone could fall in love with one person because of their eyes, yet lose the person they truly loved because of those same eyes.
Five years later, the two unexpectedly met again at a hospital.
The boy who had once wanted to hold her in the palm of his hand had long since shed his youthful innocence. When he saw her, all he said was, "Hello, Miss Meng."
As if the two of them had never shared that passionate youth.
This time, Meng Li finally wanted to tell him:
Yan Zhaoye, it was never those eyes I fell in love with.
