A Love Story at Huazhong University

Su Nianqing is a PhD in genetics at Huada University, blessed with both talent and absentmindedness. Her life revolves around DNA sequences and Chopper figurines.

Lu Yanzhou is the founder of Ruizhe Capital, the “King of Hell” who terrifies the investment world. He is nine years older than her, and a business marriage in name only has yet to be dissolved.

When they first met, she mistook the suited-and-booted man for a sales rep trying to sell lab equipment and told him, “Leave the materials at the front desk.” That was the moment he fell for her. She had no idea how wealthy he was and didn’t care about his surname. To her, he was just an ordinary man.

On the winter solstice, she made him handmade noodles. She ruined five batches before finally serving him a sixth bowl. His eyes reddened as he told her they were the best noodles he’d ever eaten. She transferred all her savings, 150,000 yuan, to him. He never touched a single cent, locking it away in an account called “My Wife’s Money” for the rest of his life.

Their first kiss beneath the northern lights, the blue ice of Lake Baikal, and a pinky promise in the desert sunset. He doted on her, but kept one thing from her: his divorce wasn’t finalized until a year and a half after they got together.

When the truth came out, she placed a hundred-yuan note on the hot pot table and said, “This drink is on me.”

He didn’t chase after her. Every Wednesday night, he simply parked beneath a banyan tree across from her research institute, waiting for her lights to turn on, then off again.

Until she said, “You just wanted to have some fun.”

On the riverside expressway, he pushed the car to 200 kilometers per hour. In the moment before they crashed into the guardrail, he shielded her with his whole body.

“You don’t have to forgive me, but you can’t deny what we had. It was the only time in my life I ever lived like a human being.”
