Drunk on You

[The whole story has undergone major revisions and differs from pirated versions. Please support the official text.]

In their second year of high school, the sweet, quiet Xu Luyao fell for Gu Lingyu, the school's unruly heartthrob and a problem student everyone feared.

She was his little follower, always trailing him carefully. He never noticed her secret crush.

During a school performance, while the whole school cheered, she gathered her courage and confessed, only to hear his friends ask him:

"Bro Yu, you don't actually like that scrawny Xu Luyao, do you?"

He laughed scornfully. "You're overthinking it. She's not good enough for me. I can't be bothered with her."

Fireworks were bursting in the sky just then, but at that moment she saw the undisguised contempt in his eyes.

Later, she left the school.

Seven years later, he was a powerful figure in the business world, still as unruly and refined as ever, only now with an even more languid, indifferent expression.

And Xu Luyao had transformed into a prickly rose of the night. They unexpectedly met again in a bar.

This time, he blocked her way and asked in a hoarse voice:

"Why did you leave back then?"

Her eyes curved into a smile, but her tone was so distant he could have been a stranger.

"Young Master Gu, do we know each other?"

He stubbed out his cigarette. Emotions flickered in his eyes, dark and unreadable.

"Miss Xu, I'm Gu Lingyu."

Xu Luyao didn't budge. "And?"

Gu Lingyu leaned closer, his voice by her ear unusually firm.

"I have a whole lifetime to make you know me all over again."

1.

Lin Nuannuan has a secret: she's had a crush on someone for seven years.

She followed him from high school to college, daring only to trail behind his cool, distant figure.

She didn't dare say it. She only wrote his name on paper, again and again.

Pei Ji.

Pei Ji.

Pei Ji.

2.

Until one day, during a wilderness survey, the campus beauty, Xia Wan, was found gravely injured and unconscious inside a cave.

All the evidence pointed to Lin Nuannuan. Her advisor questioned her, the criminal police came to her door, and even the secret of her crush was exposed. The whole internet accused her of acting out of jealousy.

She wanted to explain.

Pei Ji only said coldly, "Stay away from me from now on."

She froze for a long moment, almost wanting to laugh.

At herself, for those seven years.

3.

Several days later, Xia Wan woke up and revealed the truth.

Everyone realized they had wronged Lin Nuannuan and rushed to post apologies. But by then, they discovered that Lin Nuannuan had already entered that cave and never come out.

Outsiders all said she died inside.

Only Pei Ji entered the cave alone and searched for three days, finding nothing.

4.

Half a year later, Pei Ji encountered her again during a secret mission.

Dressed in black gauze, she stood deep in Ailao Mountain, shrouded in mist.

She turned at the sound and looked at him from before a moss-covered stone Buddha.

There was no surprise or resentment in her eyes, only an unruffled calm, as if she were looking at a passerby.

A companion asked, "Do you know her?"

She looked away, her voice hazy as mist.

"I don't. Let's go."
