* A younger, insecure sweetheart with a pure heart x a gentle, intelligent older woman who boldly pursues love
* Rekindling an old flame / seductive teasing.
Outside the flimsy wooden door, the program crew's footsteps sounded especially clear.
Ji Jian was driven step by step into a corner. The pair of pale, glassy eyes before her held a faint smile and seemed to glimmer with moisture.
Her former lover leaned close, her breath sweet as orchids. "Little one, you can't just disappear without a word. You owe me an explanation."
Ji Jian never expected to run into her ex, Jiang Muyu, again.
She'd been asked to help at the last minute, filling in as a guest on a dating show.
Before she knew it, she'd been pushed onto the stage. Only when the lights came on did she see the person seated among the relationship experts:
A white skirt suit, long hair cascading like a waterfall, and a pair of glassy eyes behind rimless glasses. Gentle yet distant, intelligent and elegant.
Their eyes met, and when that cool gaze swept over her, Ji Jian felt as if electricity had shot through her entire body.
Their relationship had ended with Ji Jian running away in a panic.
Jiang Muyu was gentle and beautiful, widely read and well-informed. At night, she would hold Ji Jian around the waist and nestle against her shoulder. "Don't be afraid, Jianjian. Big Sis will take good care of our good girl."
Their love had been as beautiful as a dream.
Until Ji Jian happened to find the certificates and trophies Jiang Muyu had hidden away. She'd said she was just a poorly paid teacher, but she was actually the youngest professor at Chen City University, one of Chen City's ten outstanding young scholars, and an expert receiving a special government stipend...
Ji Jian's dream shattered. She was just an ordinary person from the bottom of society, someone who hadn't even been able to go to college, had no control over her own life, and was deaf in one ear.
She wasn't good enough for Jiang Muyu, so she ran away in a panic.
During a break in the show, Jiang Muyu cornered Ji Jian in the storage room.
Cool fingertips pressed against Ji Jian's lips. "Shh, good Jianjian. Don't say things that would make me stop liking you."
The kiss landed on Jiang Muyu's own fingertips, then pressed against Ji Jian's lips.
"Let me... go... please..." She gently bit her tongue and pleaded softly. "Please, Big Sis... Mommy..."
Jiang Muyu chuckled, her brows lifting as she hooked a finger beneath Ji Jian's chin. "Such a good girl, Jianjian."
I can let you go for now, but don't think you'll slip out of my hands this time.
The poised, cool psychologist onstage was now like a white fox, her eyes full of determined seduction.
