On Saturday night, Jiang Chuli swiped her key card and entered the top-floor suite. She heard someone ask, "Are you going to shower first?"
He chuckled softly. "Or together?"
A rising tech mogul and an ordinary teacher: aside from having been high school classmates, they seemed to have no connection in the eyes of others. In private, however, they had a secret understanding.
One: Meet once every Saturday.
Two: Enjoy how well they click, but don't talk about love. End things after three months.
On the day their three months were up, Pei He fastened his shirt buttons. The bite mark on his wrist stood out as he casually said, "I'll take you home."
"No need," Jiang Chuli said softly, beginning to get used to the withdrawal.

Jiang Chuli had never told Pei He that her version of the rules had always been:
One: Never tell him you like him.
Two: Treasure every day, and learn to forget him after three months.
But later, Pei He held her down and leaned close to her ear, asking with shameless mischief, "Do you really have to go on a blind date tonight?"
It was another endless summer night. He played the guitar and sang a love song, then reached through the crowd and took her hand. His cool, aloof eyes held nothing but sincerity.
"Jiang, this time, let me be the one to pursue you."
From then on, his only proposition was this:
To love her.
