Embracing His Dark Side

1. Lin Ran first met Lu Chen on a scorching summer afternoon, on a remote mountain outside S City.

The tall, lean boy wore a plain white tank top, revealing strong arms. The cheap fabric was soaked with sweat and clung tightly to his back, leaving him no chance to catch his breath.

His face was red and darkened by the sun as he bent over, focused on cutting wheat across the mountainside. By chance, he turned and saw the little girl who had wandered into the wrong place. Lu Chen's heart skipped a beat, then burned as hotly as the blazing sun overhead.

One unintentional glance was all it took for Lu Chen to fall head over heels.

2. Lu Chen grew up in poverty in the mountains, responsible for his whole family from a young age. Though still a boy, he was already mature beyond his years. He rarely spoke, and his imposing presence kept people at a distance.

But Lin Ran was willing to bring water to the boy working in the fields and stand on tiptoe to wipe his sweat with a clean handkerchief.

Specks of sunlight fell into the boy's dark eyes, kindling a hint of warmth in his smile.
