Unrequited love / rekindled romance / reunion after years apart
Law firm partner vs. veterinarian
A new neighbor moved in across from Pu Yizhu: Pei Xu, a former high school classmate she'd once turned down.
The man had black hair, a lean, muscular build, and stood around 190 centimeters tall. Wearing gray sweatpants and nothing else, he opened the door to collect a food delivery.
Pu Yizhu politely and deliberately looked away from his lean waist and eight-pack abs.
But her cat darted straight into his apartment.
Embarrassed, Pu Yizhu went into his place to retrieve the cat. After crouching for too long, her vision went dark, and the man reached out to steady her. Dizzy, she accidentally pressed her hand against his chest.
Just as she was about to apologize, Pei Xu said:
"Don't get any funny ideas about me."
"? You should try having some self-awareness."
They couldn't stand each other, yet kept finding themselves drawn into one another's lives.
After returning from a get-together with friends, the man cornered Pu Yizhu with questions. She didn't want to answer, so she simply pretended to be drunk.
The next day, Pei Xu accused her of making a scene while drunk the night before and throwing up all over his car.
Pu Yizhu sneered. "And then?"
Pei Xu fixed his dark eyes on her.
"You said you liked me."
