Shameless and brazen x gentle, soft girl
Secret crush comes true | Reunited after a breakup | Staying under one roof | Eight-year age gap
When Yun Tingyu was in her final year of high school, her parents sent her to stay with a friend.
As she hid away and cried, someone put a hat on her head. The son of the family she was staying with wiped away her tears and coaxed her with a smile: “Why are you crying? You've still got me, you know.”
Zhou Yuzhi had no obligation to take care of her, but he always gave her the very best of everything.
As time went by, Yun Tingyu developed feelings for him that she shouldn't have had.
When she got a little older, she decided to confess to Zhou Yuzhi.
Head bowed, she braced herself for rejection, but instead she heard him say:
“If I say no, are you going to sneak off and cry again?” Zhou Yuzhi pinched the nape of her neck. “Look up. I can't kiss you if you keep your head down.”
Yun Tingyu naively believed Zhou Yuzhi truly loved her and would stay with her forever.
Until she caught Zhou Yuzhi smoking on the balcony with his friends.
She was about to leave when she heard him say, “She's a shy girl. There's no need to hurt her feelings. If we give it some time, she'll get bored and break up with me on her own.”
And so Yun Tingyu's first love, passionate and earnest, came to an end.

They met again when Yun Tingyu went with a friend to film a racing competition.
Zhou Yuzhi's races always drew a crowd.
Not only was he incredibly skilled, but he was so strikingly handsome that no one could look away.
Her friend asked, “I wonder what kind of person could catch his attention.”
Yun Tingyu looked at the figure surrounded by people. As if sensing something, Zhou Yuzhi turned his head and met her distant gaze with uncanny precision.
She had no idea what kind of person Zhou Yuzhi liked. Either way, she could rule herself out.
One rainy night later on, Zhou Yuzhi held her in his arms and kissed her lips again and again. Their breaths mingled as he murmured hoarsely:
“Tingting... What should you call me?”
