Hostility

Yu Qianying secretly loves a boy who hates her more than anyone else in the world.

Wen Zhi is her stepmother's younger brother, her uncle by marriage...

He really hates her, but she really likes him.

It started when she was seventeen. She did something bad, and Wen Zhi accidentally caught her.

The boy's flirtatious eyes curved lazily as he mocked her with casual disdain: "That's all the guts you have? Crying nonstop."

"Are you afraid I'll tell everyone what a bad girl you are, niece?"

Later, her family suffered a sudden upheaval, and Yu Qianying had no choice but to move in with her stepmother at Wen Zhi's house.

Every day, she could feel the hostility coming from him. The boy did whatever he wanted and didn't even bother to hide it.

So she started pretending to hate him, too.

Three years later, Yu Qianying returned from studying abroad and ran into Wen Zhi at a business banquet.

The dignity of adulthood meant clinking glasses and smiling as if nothing were wrong.

A friend asked if she was close to Mr. Wen.

Yu Qianying smiled and said they weren't.

Once the crowd had dispersed, the man grabbed her wrist and pinned her against the wall.

"True, we're only uncle and niece in name," Wen Zhi said, leaning close to her with a low laugh. "We've kissed, we've had sex, but we're not close."

During those two summers when they hated each other most, they had fooled around in every corner of Wen Zhi's villa.
