[Marriage first, love later/secret love comes true] [arrogant and poisonous tongue man × slow and slow-tempered woman]
01
Ming Zhi, who had just returned from studying abroad, was packed up by her parents and sent to her marriage partner's home before entering her home.
It was drizzling that night, and Ming Zhi, who was wearing single clothes, sneezed in front of the brightly lit merchant villa. She was in a really bad mood, so she thought of a joke for no reason, and read it in a low voice: I really want to be promoted, get rich, and kill my husband.
The next moment someone held an umbrella and stopped beside her. Ming Zhi's head turned black. She turned to look at the person holding the umbrella.
The other person's appearance is really good, with clear outlines and a little mole on the high bridge of his nose. But the more Ming Zhi looked at him, the more familiar she felt, so she said the old-fashioned way of chatting up: "Hello, have we met somewhere?"
Shang Yao politely took the luggage from her hand and tilted the umbrella towards her, "It's rainy and windy. Miss Ming, please go inside first."
Ming Zhi felt even stranger. Even this voice felt familiar to her.
Fortunately, the merchant's attitude towards her was not bad, and they waited for her to have dinner with her. The merchant's parents greeted her with care and concern, but Shang Yao, her marriage partner, never said a word. Ming Zhi was exhausted physically and mentally after running around for a few days, and she didn't have the energy to make sacrifices with them. She had a hasty meal and then went back to her room to rest.
Shang Yao sent her back to the room, and Ming Zhi, who was following him, was surprised by this strange familiarity.
Before closing the door, Shang Yao suddenly spoke: "If Miss Ming is really unwilling, I can discuss with the Ming family to cancel this engagement."
Ming Zhi finally realized that the other party had obviously heard the joke. She felt a little embarrassed and was about to apologize when she heard the other party's next sentence.
"There's no need to let me die."
This familiar tone made Mingzhi suddenly understand. Various memories about Shang Yao came to her, and she finally remembered them.
After a sweltering rain seven years ago, she found an extra book in her schoolbag. It was a bare-spine hardcover poem with a beautiful cover.
The page that was folded was the chapter "We Even Lost the Twilight", and there was a movie ticket tucked into that page. It was the French movie she had always wanted to see - Childhood, and there was a line on the back of the movie ticket.
"Forever, forever, you fade away with the dusk."
At the end, Gonggong writes two characters - Shang Yao.
Ming Zhi felt strange when she saw the name. In her eyes, she and Shang Yao were just classmates who had spoken a few words. Even after only a few interactions, the other party's distant and indifferent attitude and unfriendly tone like this time made Ming Zhi think that he never liked her very much.
At that time, she happened to be working as a receptionist with Shang Yao, so she naturally thought that she had packed the book by mistake and returned it to its original owner the next day.
This episode was quickly forgotten amid the sudden and overwhelming events such as Ming Zhi's breakup with her stepmother, running away from home, severing relations, etc.
Ming Zhi realized it later. After that, she and Shang Yao never spoke a word again.
When it comes to feelings, she is always a hindsight.

When he was young, Shang Yao's duplicity brought a lot of ambiguity. Those words that sounded sharp were actually not so. But by the time he realized it, it was already too late.
It was his first vague crush, and he lay awake for several nights before finally writing the invitation with great trepidation.
But after the movie was over, Shang Yao didn't wait for anyone to come. After he returned, he stuffed the movie tickets for that day into the specially bought books and quietly put them into Ming Zhi's schoolbag.
The book reappeared on my desk the next day, and the other party returned it intact.
It was a movie she wanted to see and a book she would enjoy, but she returned it anyway. Shang Yao had to admit that it turned out that Ming Zhi really didn't like him.
