Lin Zhaoruo has recently started flirting with a younger guy.
He's handsome, cold, and looks hard to approach.
She planned to take it slow and enjoy the thrill of pursuing someone. Who could have guessed that in less than a month, he'd ask her, "Want to date?"
Lin Zhaoruo only wanted to pursue him for fun. She didn't want to toy with an innocent young man. "Think it over first. I've had over ten ex-boyfriends, and I usually break up with them in less than half a month. I'm a terrible woman."
Ji Ling: "Oh. I've had over ten ex-girlfriends, and I can't even remember their names. I'm a terrible man."
Well, in that case, Lin Zhaoruo could relax. "We're absolutely made for each other!"
Ji Ling: "?"
Though they were both awful partners, their relationship was surprisingly harmonious. Lin Zhaoruo looked like an experienced flirt, but she'd never dated anyone before. Ji Ling claimed to be a bad boyfriend, but she'd never seen him pay attention to another girl. As their relationship started to feel more and more real, Lin Zhaoruo was baffled. Weren't they supposed to be using each other?
Until one day.
Lin Zhaoruo learned that she was only a stand-in for his long-lost first love, someone he'd loved for years.
Ji Ling learned that he was merely material for a comic she planned to date for a few days before breaking up with him, someone she couldn't even claim to like.
Lin Zhaoruo: "If that's how it is... then let's part on good terms? Happy breakup. I hope you're happy."
Ji Ling, his face cold: "Break up my ass."

On Christmas night, the two of them shared their first kiss.
Before they kissed, Lin Zhaoruo made sure to maintain her bad-girl persona. "All those ten-plus ex-boyfriends of mine said I'm a great kisser. What about you?"
Ji Ling answered lazily, "I'm okay. I usually can't be bothered to open my mouth."
That's just like you.
Lin Zhaoruo praised him inwardly, then kissed him without warning.
Their soft lips touched for about five seconds. Lin Zhaoruo pulled away, then pressed a hand to her racing heart and looked into the distance.
Colored lights flickered in the distance. Their breaths mingled as Ji Ling lowered his eyes to look at her. Neither of them spoke.
A few seconds later, Ji Ling said, "That's it?"
Lin Zhaoruo: "..."
The next second, their lips met again, their breaths mingling.
And it was still Lin Zhaoruo: "Didn't you say you don't open your mouth?!"
#Lin Zhaoruo's daily question: Why hasn't Ji Ling broken up with me yet?
#We said we'd use each other, but we're taking this more seriously than anyone
