[A bizarrely minded jerk of a man x an honest, simple, beautiful idiot]
Three months into her marriage to her second husband, Ruan Yichu runs into her "first love."
He's still as handsome, refined, and debonair as ever, shining in a crowd.
Compared to eight years ago, he's even richer and more composed, attracting everyone's attention wherever he goes.
Her husband asks in confusion, "Do you know Jiang Xingyun?"
Ruan Yichu thinks for a moment before answering, "I do, but we're not close. He was my neighbor in high school."
On the day the college entrance exam ended, she'd worked up the courage to confess to the person she'd secretly loved for ages, then spent one reckless night with him.
After that, they had nothing to do with each other.
Just a neighbor, that's all.
There was no need to explain further. She was married now, and had to consider her husband's feelings.
And that was indeed the truth.
*
Jiang Xingyun had never given a second thought to that one-night fling.
Until they met again by chance and he saw Ruan Yichu holding the arm of a strange man, standing close to him.
It had been so long that it took him a moment to remember who she was.
Suddenly,
Jiang Xingyun felt like laughing.
This ordinary, unremarkable man gets to stand beside her, hold her, hug her, kiss her, and even... just because he's her husband.
What gives him the right?
He's her neighbor, too.
A distant relative is no match for a close neighbor.
Who knows, maybe a neighbor is more reliable than a husband.
She actually got married, divorced, and married again. A woman like that has had two husbands!
Ha! That's just... incredible!
She's gotten older without getting any wiser. What an idiot, making the same mistake twice.
Someone needs to save her from this life of misery.
When it comes down to it, a neighbor is still better than a husband.
Never mind.
I still want to be her husband.
