🐺 Man who longs for love x 🦋 Woman who knows how to love

/

The summer after the college entrance exams, Li Chi fell in love with Xi Yanci, the top student in his class.

He was 187 centimeters tall, enjoyed shooting and swimming, had a great body and an irresistible face, yet this man who seemed so flirtatious had never been in a relationship.

One day, on a whim, she asked if he wanted to go to university with her in Beicheng.

The young man smiled and agreed to the promise.

He was the one who started their relationship.

He loved having her sit on his lap while he played games, loved teaching her to swim and having her ask him for help, and loved the plump shape of her lips when she fell asleep.

He loved her so much. He gently licked her lips and said, "Baby, I love you so much. What are we going to do if we can't ever be apart?"

But she was the one who ended their relationship, leaving alone for Nancheng.

Years later, Li Chi was unlucky in both work and love, and became a volunteer teacher in Huaijiang.

The schools in poor areas lacked educational resources, and people often sent donations. The school leaders asked her and another teacher to meet a donor at the train station.

The other teacher complained, asking who was important enough to warrant a pickup. Li Chi only smiled without answering.

When she looked up, a man stepped out of the car. The other teacher fell silent, and Li Chi's smile faded as she clenched her hand nervously.

They hadn't seen each other for years, but he was still as dazzling as ever. Two buttons were undone at the collar of his white shirt, and his black suit pants showed off his long, straight legs.

She greeted him with apparent composure, but he ignored her completely, remembering that when they broke up, he'd told her never to let him see her again.

That summer in Huaijiang was particularly rainy. After work, Li Chi returned to the dormitory assigned to her by the school and found the man with wet hair waiting at the door. She let him in.

The night rain fell without pause.

Li Chi's forehead was slick with sweat. Frowning in pain, she bit the man's shoulder. "Weren't you pretending not to see me?"

He groaned and wrapped an arm around her slender waist to keep her from falling. "I must be crazy to come looking for you."
