    🌷🌷 [Super Sweet [Admiration]] [Top Post][Top Post] Xie Huai, a famous young master in Beijing, fell in love at first sight with Song Nuan, the dazzling freshman representative, in his first year of high school. Suffering from depression, Xie Huai was obsessive and irrational, forbidding any boy from getting close to Song Nuan; anyone who did would be expelled. Terrified, Song Nuan was forced to transfer schools, but Xie Huai relentlessly pursued her. No one had taught Xie Huai how to like girls; he only knew he had to have her. His unusual behavior made Song Nuan avoid him like the plague. At the end of their senior year, she pleaded: "Xie Huai, please let me go, please let me go..." Xie Huai restrained himself, saying: "Song Nuan, I'll let you go this once. You'd better stay far away from me. If we meet again, you won't have a chance to escape." They thought they would never see each other again, but at 28, they met again. Xie Huai, who had suppressed his feelings for ten years, could no longer restrain himself and pinned her against the wall: "I want you." Many years later, Song Nuan realized that no one had taught Xie Huai how to love. Xie Huai's love was the most admirable.
