Jiang Yuan had always been well-behaved and obedient, polite and sensible. She was a top student, the very picture of "someone else's child."
But in her senior year of high school, good girl Jiang Yuan did something bold and outrageous.
She started dating early, and her boyfriend was none other than the notorious Ning Ye.
Ning Ye skipped class, got into fights, and had terrible grades. A rebellious troublemaker, he was the quintessential bad boy, yet also a legendary figure at Nandao High School. Tall and long-legged, he was handsome and voted the school's heartthrob year after year. Loyal to his friends and fiercely protective of them, he was infamous for how viciously he fought, and was the leader among the boys.
They were like two parallel lines that would never meet, so Jiang Yuan had never imagined she would have anything to do with Ning Ye. Then, on a rainy day, some punks cornered her in a narrow alley. Just as she was all alone and helpless, Ning Ye leaped down from a wall and stood in front of her.
It was their first meeting, romantic and dramatic.
So when Ning Ye later asked if she would be with him, Jiang Yuan nodded almost without hesitation.
Ning Ye couldn't become a well-behaved student, so Jiang Yuan went wild with him. They skipped class to watch the stars by the sea and handed in blank exams. Jiang Yuan even defied her mother's wishes and turned down the chance to study abroad for Ning Ye.
Because of this, Jiang Yuan had a huge fight with her mother. Jiang Yuan, who had never talked back to her before, was both upset and afraid. She ran away from home, desperate to see Ning Ye, and then hold him tightly in her arms.
But when Jiang Yuan reached Ning Ye's house, she saw her mother's boyfriend.
Ning Ye was standing at the door, arguing with him.
As Jiang Yuan approached, she heard Ning Ye let out a scornful laugh and ask mockingly, "What? You can be a phoenix man, but I can't seduce Jiang Yuan?"
Ning Ye's tone was as nonchalant as ever, but his words were cruel. He said, "Honestly, I don't even really like Jiang Yuan. But what can I do? She's connected to you people."
After saying that, Ning Ye looked up and saw Jiang Yuan's retreating figure, fleeing in disarray.
He didn't chase after her then. After that, he could never catch up with her again.
Only later did Ning Ye understand that when he lied to Jiang Yuan, he had also deceived his own heart.
