Awakening at Midnight

Childhood sweethearts

Bold, impulsive girl x thoughtful, attentive, jealous-to-the-point-of-madness boy

1/

After midnight.

Confessing her feelings to her childhood friend was exactly the sort of thing she'd do.

Gu Jiangxin is a woman who acts as soon as an idea occurs to her, growing bolder with every setback.

It took her a while to realize the passionate attachment she felt toward Gu Su in the dead of night.

One night in bed, she joked, "What do I do if my boyfriend is full of mysteries?"

Only later did Gu Jiangxin realize she didn't know all that much about Gu Su.

She never expected that beneath his gentle exterior lay a possessive desire, restrained for years while he secretly loved her.

Without knowing his possessiveness, she didn't know him at all.

How had he gone from being a crybaby to someone so...

Strange, unreasonable, repressed, dark, possessive...

His three rules for dating:

Don't smile at other men.

Don't go out with men.

Don't leave my messages unanswered or go anywhere without telling me.

At first, she thought he just loved her too much...

But later... rushing into a relationship with him was a huge mistake!

What the hell kind of dating rules are these?!

That offhand remark solved the mystery.

Completely, leaving nothing hidden.

Gu Jiangxin had wondered what it would be like to see Gu Su again. Their brief reunion at graduation had been a chance encounter, just a passing glimpse.

Now, without a doubt, it was still a chance encounter for her. A coincidence within that chance meeting: she had gotten into his car by mistake.

"Sorry, I got into the wrong car."

Any normal person would open the door for her after hearing that.

But what she expected didn't happen.

She had no choice but to face him and demand an answer:

"What the, "

His icy fingertips had already trapped her, gently tracing her full lower lip. As she opened her mouth, he leaned down without restraint and swallowed her words.

As she hit and berated him, Gu Su remained calm. His hoarse, oppressive voice shot straight into her heart:

"Has he kissed you here too?"

The eyes of the man before her had become completely unfamiliar.

The man outside the car window couldn't see the two of them pressed together inside. But Gu Su had shot more than a few murderous glares at him.

Smiling, he asked her, "Xinbao, when are you breaking up with him?"

He was so close that cursing and hitting him weren't enough. He even wanted to swallow her whole.

"I'll say this one last time, "

Gu Jiangxin had run out of patience. Her words were decisive, and the look in her eyes had changed completely.

The midnight fever after their reunion.

A sudden thought swept through her mind:

Zhang, Li, or Wang, who was he to her now?

[I'm your dog. - "Su's Diary"]

"It feels like I keep waking up in the long hours of the night."
