March 17. Jin Zhao and Lu Guanhe had another fight. Lu Guanhe is always making Jin Zhao angry. They won't last. They'll break up soon. Don't worry.
--Cen Yu's Diary
.
When Jin Zhao was fourteen, a boy named Cen Yu came to live with her family.
She mistook Cen Yu for her father's illegitimate son and swung her riding crop at both him and her father.
After the bodyguards stopped her, Jin Zhao was made to kneel in the ancestral hall for eight hours as punishment.
Nobody paid any attention to Jin Zhao. Only her childhood friend Lu Guanhe brought her a plate of snacks.
.
At seventeen, Jin Zhao lost a game of Truth or Dare. She pretended to pursue Cen Yu for a few weeks, and then the two of them started dating.
Before long, Jin Zhao got bored and dumped Cen Yu.
After the college entrance exams, Jin Zhao stayed local for university, while Cen Yu went abroad. They never saw each other again.
.
At twenty-five, Jin Zhao fell out with her childhood friend Lu Guanhe, and her father forced her to go on a blind date.
It was raining that day. Jin Zhao stayed inside, unwilling to go, and stood her date up. When the rain stopped, she finally headed out at a leisurely pace and found a restaurant to eat at. Her date was still waiting at the table.
Curious, Jin Zhao went over and discovered that her blind date was Cen Yu.
.
Whenever she lies, she touches her nose. She touched her nose and said she liked me and wanted to pursue me.
Liar liar liar liar liar liar liar liar liar. She lies without a care in the world, just like always.
She said my eyes were beautiful. Sometimes they glow blue, like sapphires.
I wish I could dig them out and give them to her.
She skipped class with Lu Guanhe again.
She's so bad.
I want to f*ck her.
I want to k*ll Lu Guanhe so she'll only play with me.
Lu Guanhe, d*e, d*e, d*e, d*e, d*e, d*e, d*e, d*e, d*e, d*e, d*e, d*e, d*e, d*e, d*e, d*e, d*e, d*e, d*e, d*e, d*e, d*e, d*e, d*e, d*e...
