He Ling first met Mu Yue in a dimly lit bar. The man lounged against the sofa, his gaze gentle and ambiguous through the pale blue smoke.

Her friend teased, "He Ling, how long would it take to land a sexy, irresistible playboy like that?"

Just then, the man let out a regretful sigh. He'd turned down yet another girl who'd tried to hit on him. It was hard to keep track of how many that made.

He Ling looked away and smiled. "Three months."

-

He Ling didn't know that her words had been relayed to the man himself, word for word.

"What do you mean, three months?"

Mu Yue gave a faint, mocking smile. "She won't be able to get me."

Everyone laughed. Even a siren like He Ling could strike out. But later, they understood that Mu Yue meant something else by "she won't be able to get me."

He Ling was impatient.

He'd have to calculate his timing and lure her in, step by step.

In high school, He Ling often received a bouquet of baby's breath. Only later did she learn the meaning of the flowers he'd given her:

"I'm willing to be a supporting character, loving you in secret while the whole world remains unaware."

- Pure, alluring heiress X "scummy but charming" CEO

- "I give you a sky full of stars, yet still feel that none of them compare to you."

Blurb:

Feng Xia first saw Song Shuchi at her boyfriend Gu Zexi's birthday party.

Everyone else was wild and uninhibited, but he was refined, genteel, and utterly spotless.

He wore a white shirt buttoned all the way to the top.

Looking over from across the long table, he wore a lazy smile.

A friend told Feng Xia that Song Shuchi had never been interested in anyone at A University.

/

The night she broke up with her scumbag boyfriend,

Feng Xia never expected to see Song Shuchi.

On a humid, sultry summer night in the rainy season, their breaths caught as their eyes met.

She thought he was about to plead on her ex's behalf.

Instead, he held his umbrella over her and asked gently:

"Want to give us a try?"

/

Later, Gu Zexi regretted everything and gathered a big group of people to plead his case.

When Song Shuchi walked in, Gu Zexi clutched at him like a lifeline. "Brother Chi, you're the best at talking people around. Make sure you persuade Xia Xia to get back together with me."

Song Shuchi agreed with a smile.

The next second, Feng Xia walked in. He calmly put an arm around her shoulders, his smile lazy and tender.

"Baby."

"He was asking you."
