Introduction to the work
[Down-and-out daughter × cold male god | Reunion after breaking up | Paranoia turned into madness | Seven years of setting up a trap]
The thing Xia Chi regretted the most in his life was not a huge change in his family or growing up overnight.
But seven years ago, she provoked Shen Qingci on a whim.
At that time, she was the most arrogant young lady in the capital. She could get wind and rain whenever she wanted. In a boring bet, she randomly picked the cleanest and most beautiful flower on campus, but also the most difficult to pick - Shen Qingci, who came from an ordinary background. Everyone said he was unkind, but she didn't believe it.
She was very good at teasing, getting close, and playing hard to get.
As expected, Shen Qingci fell, deeper, deeper, and more unextricably than she thought.
But she forgot that once a person who has never been loved tastes the sweetness, he will be like a drowning man grabbing a driftwood - refusing to let go until death. His deep affection gradually turned into worrying about gains and losses, and his gentleness turned into being inseparable. She felt that he was clingy, that he was sensitive, and that he always gave her that suffocating look when she was talking to others.
During the last argument, she threw the cup and said, "Shen Qingci, can you stop doing this? You make me breathless."
He stood there, his eyes red, but his voice was terrifyingly calm: "You provoked me first."
She turned around disapprovingly, thinking that he was just an insignificant episode in her life.
But she didn't expect the call to come so quickly.
Her father and stepmother both died in a car accident. The Xia family was leaderless, the stock price collapsed, and everyone who had been around her disappeared overnight. The elderly grandfather was forced to go back to work, using crutches to support the crumbling family business. And she is no longer the eldest lady of the Xia family who can spend money and play with the world wantonly.
Suddenly, all the weight fell on her shoulders.
Only then did she realize that some people in this world really left when they left.
And the debt she owed will have to be repaid sooner or later.
Seven years later, Xia Chi came to a bar called "Lost" in Beijing to win over a difficult partner.
The moment she opened the door, she saw Shen Qingci.
He was sitting in the deepest part of the booth, under the dim light, and those eyes that once only looked at her tenderly were now so deep that they seemed to swallow her whole body.
Only then did she find out that he owned this bar. From site selection to decoration, from the time the partner "happened" to be here to the time she learned about it "accidentally" - he spent seven years counting every step.
He wasn't seeking revenge.
He just wanted her to learn one thing: how much it hurts to be left behind.
Then, she told him personally that she would never leave again.
Small Theater
The first time we met after the reunion.
Shen Qingci leaned against the bar, holding a wine glass between his fingers, his eyes falling on her face, with a faint smile on his lips.
"Long time no see, Mr. Xia."
Xia Chi clenched her palms and tried to look calm: "Shen Qingci, you did it on purpose."
He did not deny it, and slowly leaned closer, so close that she could clearly see the undercurrent in his eyes that had been suppressed for seven years.
Concept: Love is obsession, love is cherishment
