Updates follow rankings if the book makes a list; otherwise, three chapters a week, on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays.
1.
After graduating from college, Meng Yan became a high school biology teacher.
Barely half a month into the school year, she was called to the police station to bail out a student.
Meng Yan: .
She waited at the station for half an hour before the student’s parents finally showed up.
Long, powerful legs, hurrying footsteps, and a secretary jogging beside him with a stack of documents.
Meng Yan: What a poser.
Then she looked up again and saw the black stud in the man’s earlobe.
The more she looked, the more it resembled the pair she’d given her ex-boyfriend.
Her gaze shifted right, meeting the laughing, flirtatious eyes of her ex, Shen Chaomu.
She was seeing a ghost in broad daylight.
2.
After parting at the police station, they met again in the school conference room.
Shen Chaomu sat at the head of the table, tapping his tablet with a long index finger. His voice was lazy as he said,
“I want Ms. Meng to oversee this project.”
Later,
Shen Chaomu cornered Meng Yan in the garden. “Why did you break up with me back then?”
Meng Yan tilted her head up, her doe-like eyes full of innocence. “I got bored.”
Shen Chaomu completely lost it. Grinding his teeth in anger, he wanted to bite her lips and make her shut up.
[Bonus Scene]
High school reunion
Their classmate praised Meng Yan for her bold move back in the day: she’d won over the class’s resident heartthrob, then ghosted him and dumped him just days later.
The classmate then tried to introduce her to a new boyfriend.
Shen Chaomu sat beside her, eyes red with anger, holding Meng Yan’s hand and showing their matching wedding bands to every classmate.
How could these people not see the huge pink diamond on Meng Yan’s finger?
Their classmates: It takes some skill to make the usually composed and self-controlled Mr. Shen this mad, Meng Yan.
When they got home, Shen Chaomu kissed Meng Yan’s cheek like a puppy, looking aggrieved. “When are we getting our marriage certificate?”
Meng Yan exhaled in frustration. “Tomorrow. First thing tomorrow morning.”
Anyone who tried to stop her from getting that certificate would have to deal with her.
Meng Yan couldn’t understand why a man who could face a landslide without batting an eye was so easily riled up by a single sentence from her.
Later, watching him sleep peacefully, she suddenly remembered a line:
“Love gives rise to worry; love gives rise to fear.”
Reading Guide:
1. 1v1, both virgins and each other’s first love, happy ending. High school flashbacks appear occasionally but make up very little of the story.
2. Neither lead is perfect.
3. The male lead can verbally poison himself with just a few words, but he would never speak harshly to the female lead, never!!!! She’s the only one who can make him furious.
3. In high school, she pursues him; after their reunion, he pursues her.
Theme: Cherish the present and take every relationship seriously.
