Su Wang has had a crush on Lu Yulou for a long time. By chance, he overhears Lu Yulou's bet with a friend:
"I'll make Su Wang fall for me in a month."
Su Wang doesn't call him out. He plays along with Lu Yulou's clumsy act all the way through, then breaks up with him a day before the bet is due to end.
But Lu Yulou refuses to accept it. He blocks Su Wang on his way home from school. "What do you mean by that?"
Su Wang lowers his eyes, his voice bitter. "It means nothing. I don't want to play along anymore."
Lu Yulou's heart jolts. He knows!
Su Wang says softly, "I won't tell anyone. Go back to your friends and celebrate your victory."
The sight of him looking so aggrieved yet considerate makes Lu Yulou's throat tighten. He can't bring himself to say, "I'm sorry."
But the moment Su Wang turns away, the bitterness vanishes from his eyes, leaving only cool indifference.
Who said he had to swallow his pride? He wants to drive a knife straight into Lu Yulou's heart.
He never meant to win the bet. If he can't have Lu Yulou's love, then he'll make sure Lu Yulou remembers him with guilt.
