Once, Someone Loved You for a Long Time

1. It was only after movie star Luo Ran and washed-up actress Sang Cai worked together on a film that people dug up the fact that these two seemingly unrelated people had been high school classmates, and even desk mates for a while. But it seemed they'd been on bad terms for a long time. At a business event, the two exchanged glances by chance, both letting their faces turn cold despite their impeccable manners. On a variety show, they were teammates, yet didn't exchange a single word the whole time. In behind-the-scenes footage released by the director, the two leads kissed passionately one second, then abruptly pulled apart the next, quickly dropping character and not bothering to spare each other a glance. The only time they were in sync was when they were asked to describe their first love. Sang Cai and Luo Ran answered in unison, expressionless: “A jerk.” Though aloof and distant, Luo Ran was always polite to others. He never lost his composure; good manners were etched into his bones. Even when reporters offended him, he merely ignored them with a calm expression. He'd never treated anyone so differently before. So everyone agreed that Sang Cai, that eccentric who feared nothing, cared about nothing, used her beauty to get away with murder, and even dared to offend investors, must have done something to provoke him. And they were sure there was no chance the two would ever make up. 2. One day, a gossip account posted a video. It was late at night. Sang Cai was walking unsteadily down the street, dazed and slow, looking like she'd had too much to drink. Behind her was a male celebrity who had recently been rumored to be dating her. Gradually, the man caught up until he was walking beside Sang Cai. He casually draped an arm over Sang Hui's shoulder. Sang Cai glanced at him. Before she could say anything, a car suddenly came out of nowhere and cut between them. Luo Ran, usually so cool and restrained, got out of the car and, without a word, picked Sang Cai up and put her inside. The look on his face was hardly that of Sang Cai's sworn enemy. He looked like a boyfriend who'd just been cheated on. 3. Long, long afterward, everyone's suspicions were confirmed. Luo Ran and Sang Cai really did have a history. And Sang Cai really had been the one to offend Luo Ran first. An anonymous source revealed that back in school, Sang Cai had boldly pursued Luo Ran. Everyone had thought it would go nowhere, since they came from completely different worlds. No one expected news to spread soon after that Sang Cai and Luo Ran were together. Even less did anyone expect Sang Cai to dump him and disappear without a word, just after winning him over. Coming soon: "I Could Never Fall for a Green Tea" Lin Xian and Lin Chuchu were childhood friends, raised under the same roof from a young age. Lin Chuchu had always been an excellent student: sensible, sweet, fair-skinned, and graceful. She was the prettiest girl in the alley and extremely popular with kids her own age. On top of that, her tragic background made everyone feel sorry for her. Everyone liked her. Except Lin Xian. As someone who'd watched Lin Chuchu grow up and been secretly sabotaged by her countless times, Lin Xian, her “older brother,” knew her true nature all too well. She was warm on the outside and cold on the inside, a brilliant actress who seemed to care about everyone but really cared about no one. She looked delicate and frail, but could take on three people at once. In public, she ate like a bird, but in private, she could put away three bowls in one sitting. Lin Xian was always blunt and reckless, and couldn't stand his sister's pretentious act. They'd been at odds since childhood, and wouldn't even say hello when they ran into each other. At school, practically no one knew that Lin Xian, the school bully, was technically the older brother of Lin Chuchu, the campus belle. Until one day, Lin Xian injured himself playing basketball. Lin Chuchu arrived at the hospital first and mocked him, then went back to school, found the person who'd deliberately knocked him down, and beat them up. Then she declared, “Let's see who dares bully my brother now!” Everyone was stunned: “...” - After he was discharged, Lin Xian heard about Lin Chuchu's “heroic deeds.” Just as he was struggling to believe it, he passed through a quiet little garden at school and happened to hear Lin Chuchu talking to another girl. “Hey, could you give me Lin Xian's contact info? I...” “No.” “Huh? Why not? Isn't he your brother? Don't you have his number?” “I do, but I can't give it to you.” “Why?” “Because he's not an ordinary brother.” Lin Chuchu didn't bat an eye. “He's my darling brother.” Lin Xian: “...” #Enemies on the surface, secretly both in love with each other# Theme: Finding the courage to love again
