A Promise to Meet

When Mu Nian first met Qiu Zhengsi, the boy was tall and thin, guarding the goddess of their grade like a bodyguard. His whole demeanor said, "Keep your distance."

At first, the boy always looked disdainful. The first thing he said to Mu Nian was, "Stay away from Xu Yuan."

Later, Qiu Zhengsi realized that Mu Nian was not only far away from Xu Yuan, but also standing far away from him. No matter what he tried, she wouldn't come one step closer.

Qiu Zhengsi never imagined that one thoughtless remark at their first meeting would become the biggest obstacle to winning her back.

That's what happens when you go around making trouble. Sooner or later, you have to pay for it.

Excerpt:

Qiu Zhengsi noticed that Mu Nian had fallen behind while they were walking. He turned around and, would you look at that, she was smiling happily at another girl from their class.

Qiu Zhengsi stopped, raised an eyebrow without thinking, and beckoned to Mu Nian. "Come here."

The girl widened her eyes, looking innocent. "Qiu Zhengsi, you're scary. I don't want to stand next to you."

Qiu Zhengsi: "..."

Were his thick eyebrows and big eyes his fault? Was it his fault he looked fierce?

And so, right in front of everyone, they watched in astonishment as the always fearsome big bad wolf lifted the corners of his mouth into a textbook 45-degree smile.

"Mu Nian, come here. I'm very gentle."

This is the story of a big bad wolf who misspoke once, then pursued his wife until he nearly coughed up blood, and a sweet, well-behaved girl.
