Just Admit It

[Please add my new story, Simpler Than a Hug, to your reading list!]

When his friends got into fights, top student Zhou would always retreat five meters to keep the dust from dirtying his clothes, watching coldly from the sidelines.

This time, before the two sides had even started fighting, some clueless guy on the other side openly mocked the Peppa Pig watch his precious deskmate had given him. He was asking for death...

That night, Zhou Chengyi was dragged into the infirmary by Xu Yu to get the cut on his brow treated.

The guy who hadn't even blinked during the fight was now rubbing his head against his deskmate's chest over and over.

"Ow, that hurts..."

Xu Yu looked coolly at the drama queen in her arms and said gently, "Okay, I know. I'll be more careful..."

Then she pressed harder with the cotton swab.

Years later, one night, Xu Yu cried as she scratched and bit him. "It hurts!"

The man kissed the tears from her face and rasped, "Yeah, I'll be gentler..."

Only then did Xu Yu finally learn what people meant by a man's empty promises.

Tong Yan and He Zhan grew up together. They were closer than friends, but nowhere near being lovers.

But Tong Yan knew she liked He Zhan, and she was determined to become his 101st girlfriend.

Everyone said He Zhan went through girlfriends so quickly that people barely had a chance to meet one before he was dating someone new.

Until one day...

He Zhan lounged around with a cigarette between his lips, frowning slightly. He didn't know why, but the confession that had been on the tip of his tongue turned into his usual line: "We broke up again."

Tong Yan asked as usual, "So what's the new girl's name?"

For the next five minutes, He Zhan racked his brain but couldn't come up with the name of a 100th girlfriend.

Tong Yan frowned, looking serious. "You can't be that awful when you date someone. At the very least, you should remember their name."

After all, she'd be your last ex-girlfriend. Tong Yan thought to herself.

After a while...

"I'm done making things up..." He Zhan smiled nonchalantly and looked up at her. "Let's say it's Tong Yan."

Tong Yan: ⊙▽⊙
