Did You Make Your Move?

The first time Chu Bai cried in front of Zuo Ancheng was when she got two questions wrong on her senior year exam. She complained into the phone, "I can't do the... questions. I can't do them." She even sniffled a couple of times. It was two in the morning in the United States.

Twenty-four hours later, she was happily slurping noodles in a restaurant when the man appeared before her, composed and dignified, as though he had brought the chill of a late Los Angeles night with him. He handed her some candy and asked, "Which one can't you do, hmm? I'll teach you."

The second time she cried was after she bounced around in front of Zuo Ancheng and said, "You had a crush on me in high school." He pinned her against the wall, the corners of his lips curling with amusement as he kissed her again and again until she took it back.

The third time, he held her down and coaxed her in a low voice, "Don't cry, it'll be over soon." But she clung to him desperately, and the more she cried, the more he held on and refused to let go.

Chu Jian, Chu Bai's biological older brother, had always enjoyed teasing and bullying her.

At last, his conscience got the better of him one day, and he stuffed a pocketful of candy away to visit his poor little sister, Er Bai, in class. When he opened the door, golden sunlight filled the classroom. His Er Bai was sprawled across her desk, fast asleep, while his trusted best friend bent down, about to kiss her.

Lin Jiu always thought that after they missed their chance back then, she'd never see Jiang Jin again.

Until she happened to open a financial news report and saw the rising star of investment banking, newly returned to the country and already winning over the media.

Lin Jiu had seen him on the news many times. He stepped out of a black Bentley, his hair perfectly in place, standing tall even as reporters mobbed him.

Then Lin Jiu was helped out of a car by the police. Amid the roar of an engine, the man appeared in a suit, dismounted from a motorcycle that had come from who-knows-where, and reached her in just a few strides. He yelled at her, "Lin Jiu, who told you to get in some random man's car?"

After years apart, Lin Jiu met her old flame again amid utter chaos, and got to witness the rare moment when this investment banking star lost control of his emotions.
