Lin Zhishui’s impression of Shen Yu:
Top student, school heartthrob, untouchable flower, and her current boss.
Shen Yu’s description of Lin Zhishui:
Neighbor, meal buddy, roommate, and #¥@%6
Lin Zhishui: ?

Lin Zhishui asks, baffled, “When did I become your roommate?”
Shen Yu pushes up his glasses with an impassive look. “Last night.”
Lin Zhishui blushes. So that garbled part was…
(No thinking. No remembering. Stop.)
Shen Yu lowers his eyes, watching the tips of Lin Zhishui’s ears turn redder and redder.
She doesn’t ask, and he can’t bring himself to answer.
3.
At a class reunion, Shen Yu loses a game.
Someone teases him, “Senior, can you finally tell us who your first love was back in school?”
Sitting beside Shen Yu, Lin Zhishui suddenly feels a tightness in her chest. As she lowers her eyes, he takes her hand.
The whole table waits to hear the long-buried gossip. Under the table, their fingers are intertwined. Lin Zhishui tries to pull her hand away, but Shen Yu holds on tighter.
Tenderness fills his eyes. He answers earnestly, “Right here beside me.”

Lin Zhishui, that garbled part was

Since then, the cicadas have never stopped, and the summer breeze has never faded.

[Cool, stubborn girl × rakish, devoted man] [Childhood friends] [Mutual secret crush] [Second chance romance]
1.
On Jiang Cen’s eighteenth birthday, she throws herself a lavish party and invites nearly all the rich young socialites in Jingbei.
Amid the cheering and commotion, Jiang Mi makes a grand announcement: tonight, she’s saying goodbye to her innocence.
Right at the last moment, everything falls apart.
Jiang Cen looks at the tall, dark silhouette outlined by the dim light. Liang Jingyan lowers his eyes, his deep gaze settling on hers.
He is the heir to the Liang family of Jingbei, a born-and-bred favorite of fortune, raised with a silver spoon and adored by the wealthy social circle.
He is also the person Jiang Cen has secretly loved for years.
Jiang Mi’s glossy red lips curve into a smile, her dark, shining eyes glimmering.
She gently hooks a finger around Liang Jingyan’s trouser leg, her soft lips parting and closing. “Then… will you help me, big brother?”
*
No one would think a man like Liang Jingyan would have anything to do with Jiang Mi. Their backgrounds are worlds apart, and there’s also an old marriage pact between their families. Once the families join through marriage, Liang Jingyan will be Jiang Cen’s brother-in-law.
In a secluded corner, Liang Jingyan traps Jiang Cen in front of him.
“What’s the rush? I’ll let you bite to your heart’s content later.”
2.
Jiang Cen and Liang Jingyan’s romance is intense and dramatic, throwing both families into chaos.
Their breakup is just as decisive.
On a snowy winter night, Jiang Cen stands before Liang Jingyan, her gaze cool and clear.
“Liang Jingyan, I don’t love you at all.”
“Everything I said… was a lie.”
Liang Jingyan lights a cigarette and raises his eyes through the pale blue smoke.
“Good.” He slowly curls his lips. “Once you leave, don’t come back.”
*
But Jiang Cen comes back anyway.
Years later, they meet again. Liang Jingyan is now a powerful man. At a glittering gala, everyone laughs and flatters him, but he remains nonchalant, his gaze toward her just as cool.
Another winter night. Jiang Cen is on her way home from work.
On the cold, deserted street, Liang Jingyan pins her against his car and kisses her.
His voice is low and soft as he murmurs again and again, “Cencen, I know…”
“When you said you didn’t love me, you were lying.”
At that moment, Jiang Cen’s eyes turn red at the corners.
1. One-on-one romance, sweet and bittersweet.
2. The male lead has no betrothal and isn’t in love with the older sister.
Theme: Every girl shines in her own way.
It's so dangerous, honey. Next time we cook porridge, let's use a rice cooker [poor]
Hahahahaha, society is dead
