Zhong Li × Pei Jianhe
Zhong Li is a corporate drone with no dreams.
She works 996, and her world consists of the office, home, and the subway station. Going out on her days off sounds exhausting, but lying around at home feels like a waste of time. She’s picky and indecisive, and the same goes for romance. Ask what kind of person she likes, and she’ll give you one utterly useless answer: “It depends on the chemistry.”
One day, she went downstairs to take out the trash and ran into a handsome guy over 180 centimeters tall in the elevator. One look was all it took for her to know he was exactly her type. He had a calm, composed air about him. Even bundled up in a long black down coat, he looked tall and slender. A scarf covered half his face, but his visible features were strikingly defined.
Zhong Li tried to strike up a conversation. “Hi, did you just move in? I don’t think I’ve seen you around before.”
The handsome guy’s answer came in the form of a children’s song suddenly blaring from him: “I have horns on my head, and a tail behind me...”
They stared at each other, then both looked down at the source of the sound: the Xiaocai smartwatch in the handsome guy’s hand.
The handsome guy tried to explain himself, at a loss for words. “No, listen, I...”
Zhong Li suddenly felt guilty. “Sorry, I didn’t know... You’re still a child.”
He tried to explain again, but before he could finish, the elevator doors opened and Zhong Li dashed out as if fleeing for her life.
“Uncle! Come back! You took my watch!”
As Pei Jianhe answered his niece’s call on the Xiaocai watch, he pressed the button for the 15th floor again. “Yeah, I’m coming back up.”
Director Pei had risen to success at a young age, and had rarely felt that life was going badly. Today was an exception, starting when his niece swapped her Xiaocai watch for his Rolex.
Oh, well. Since they lived in the same building, they were bound to run into each other again.
He’d just have to explain that he really wasn’t underage.
