Shu Xu spent four years abroad and became a brilliant painter.
She thought she'd finally have some peace, but just one month after returning home, Chu Qianyun arranged three blind dates for her.
At the third one, the stuffy private room made it hard to breathe. She pushed the door open to get some air, only to bump into someone.
Jiang Zhou.
Her high school deskmate, her first love, the person she hadn't spoken to in four years after breaking up with her.
Shu Xu froze, but Jiang Zhou merely smiled and said, "Long time no see."
It wasn't the right place to linger, but Shu Xu couldn't leave just yet, so in the end she hitched a ride in Jiang Zhou's car. But why was this ex getting more and more presumptuous? She even barged into Shu Xu's apartment, drank her tea, and tried to go into her bedroom.
"Back then, I cried all night and begged you not to break up with me, but you still wouldn't change your mind."
"Now it's your turn to cry."
Just as Shu Xu was getting swept up in the flirtation, she heard Jiang Zhou speak against her ear, her breath hot.
