Jiang Jin and Shen Qiao once had a passionate romance that everyone knew about. When they were young, both were too proud to back down, and their relationship ended in a breakup.
At a gathering some time later, the two were rarely seen together in the same place.
They both arrived late, and their clothes were disheveled.
A conspicuous red mark showed on Shen Qiao's neck. When a friend pointed it out, she replied without a change in expression, "A dog bit me."
Jiang Jin stood up and left with a cold expression.
Watching him go, their friend said, "You may have broken up, but you grew up together. You shouldn't fight."
Shen Qiao didn't answer. She looked at the new message on her phone.
Jiang the Dog: [Penthouse suite. For every ten minutes you're late, that's one extra time.]
Shen Qiao grabbed her bag and left.

Yes, she and Jiang Jin had broken up, but after getting back in touch, they started seeing each other again.
They agreed not to be a couple, but to meet up at least once a month.

Shen Qiao had reached the age when everyone started urging her to marry. Her mother threatened to kill herself if she didn't, so she had no choice but to go along.
In the walk-in closet, she wore a sharp skirt suit. As she stood before the mirror, someone lifted the back of her skirt up to her thigh.
Jiang Jin still had a way with words: "You should change into a longer skirt. Don't curl your hair, either. Better yet, don't wear makeup. Put on thick glasses and you might actually get a match."
Shen Qiao refused to back down. "Who was it that pounced on me as soon as he saw me?"
As they faced off, it felt as if they had returned to that afternoon when they broke up.
Jiang Jin finally gave in. He gripped her waist and kissed her fiercely. "Don't go. Choose me this time."
