Never Let Life Betray You

This is an utterly cliche love story.

Ren Pingsheng never understood why Zhao Jingmo kept her by his side for three years. But she felt that since he'd helped her so much, she probably ought to give something in return. So she obediently stayed with him, waiting for the day he would say he was tired of her, or for him to meet the one he loved.

Zhao Jingmo felt he hadn't gone out of his way to do anything for Ren Pingsheng. Things just happened, and he happened to offer a suitable solution. She needed money, and he had it, so he gave her money, along with his feelings. But someone assumed he was paying because he wanted her body in return.

Zhao Jingmo considered himself good to Ren Pingsheng. Whatever had brought them together at first, he spoiled her, picked on her, and tested her simply to see whether her unruffled heart held any fierce, passionate feelings for him.

For a while, Ren Pingsheng thought the heart she'd given him was finally close to his. Then one day, she suddenly realized that no one was ever treated differently without a reason. He had been plotting at every turn, and it was never her heart he was after.

Someone like Ren Pingsheng could even leave without a sound. It was as if one day, her clothes were still hanging on the left side of his closet, and there were still two toothbrush cups side by side in the bathroom. But she said she was going out, stepped into the drizzle, and never came back.

Only then did Zhao Jingmo begin to wonder when Ren Pingsheng had become just Ren Pingsheng to him. People used to say he was trying to quench his thirst with poison, but why did he feel he didn't need to quench his thirst at all? He just needed the bottle of poison itself. Ren Pingsheng was that bottle.
