The first time Guan Ran met Pu Wan, she was captivated by her. Back then, all she knew was that Pu Wan was her older sister's classmate. She had no idea Pu Wan was the campus belle of Luancheng High School.
According to her sister, Pu Wan was smart and kind, a rich girl who never had a care in the world.
Guan Ran liked her. To become worthy of her, she studied as hard as she could, dreaming of getting into the same university as Pu Wan. All those sleepless nights finally paid off, and little by little, she caught up with Pu Wan.
On the university sports field, beneath the blazing sun, Guan Ran summoned her courage and confessed.
Pu Wan still asked gently, "You like me, but you don't really know me, do you?"
The blazing sun was as intense as Guan Ran's ardent heart. She told Pu Wan everything she knew about her, holding nothing back.
But Pu Wan still turned her down.
The cruelty of youth was like a sudden summer downpour, drenching you without warning.
Pu Wan's words were gentle, yet they left Guan Ran chilled to the bone. But she never expected the evening to be even colder. When she got home, she met the girlfriend her older sister had just brought back.
It was none other than Pu Wan, the very girl who had rejected her that afternoon.
That night's rain spread from her heart to the entire city. It rained so hard that Pu Wan couldn't get home and had to stay at their house.
She became the third wheel on their dates. Sometimes she thought Pu Wan was awful for knowing she liked her and still inviting her along every time.
But sometimes she thought Pu Wan was wonderful: when Guan Ran couldn't finish her coursework, Pu Wan would stay awake with her, yawning from exhaustion but refusing to go to bed until they were done.
Then Guan Ran's older sister enlisted and left, and Pu Wan only grew closer to Guan Ran. That's when Guan Ran started to panic.
Pu Wan said, "Your sister's gone. Shouldn't you keep me company in her place?"
They ate together, went shopping together, and watched movies together. But what was she supposed to make of them taking a bath together?
Pu Wan looked confused. "Isn't that totally normal between good friends?"
Guan Ran barely managed to convince herself that maybe Pu Wan just wanted someone to scrub her back. But after getting drunk, Pu Wan didn't call out her sister's name. Instead, she pounced on Guan Ran and kissed her forcefully. What was that supposed to mean?
