Jiang Lin transferred schools for one reason: to get close to the Shen family and investigate the truth behind his parents' deaths in the line of duty.
He wore plain glasses, hid his sharp edges, and put on a convincing act of being gentle and harmless.
Everyone at school thought he was a sweet, innocent little flower. Only Shen Ci, the aloof beauty everyone admired from afar, saw the overwhelming obsession in his eyes at a glance.
In the corridor during evening study, Shen Ci pinned him beneath the lights, trapping him in his arms. His voice was low and husky. "You're pretending."
Jiang Lin's eyes curved as he smiled softly. "Don't get the wrong idea, Shen."
He thought he had laid an inescapable trap, never realizing that from the moment he stepped through the school gates, Shen Ci had held him close to his heart and protected him for ten whole years.
When danger struck at the alley entrance, Shen Ci stepped in front of him. "I'm here. You don't have to get your hands dirty."
After dropping his disguise, Jiang Lin's eyes reddened. "I'm done pretending."
Shen Ci smiled gently and took him as he was. "All right. I've been waiting for you."
I knew you had an ulterior motive, yet I willingly walked into your trap.
