Ye Cheng had secretly loved Song Qingyi for many years.
He was the school's famous untouchable heartthrob. He was handsome and tall, with refined features and excellent grades. Unfortunately, he was cold and distant, and no one could catch his eye.
Though the Ye and Song families had been close for generations, he had always been aloof toward her.
Until the night before she left to study abroad, Ye Cheng couldn't hold back and confessed.
She sent him a very long message, then lay awake, tossing and turning...
[Forget it. He wouldn't like me anyway.]
Not wanting to be rejected, the girl cried for a while, then got up and blocked him.

Unfortunately, after returning home, Ye Cheng was forced by her parents to intern at the Song family's law firm.
They met again at a company-wide meeting. He gave her a cold, distant look and said nothing.
Ye Cheng breathed a sigh of relief.
[Thank goodness he's forgotten.]
But later, Song Qingyi made things difficult for her at every turn. He even called her out in a meeting for being thirty seconds late. Furious, Ye Cheng went home and rambled to her best friend: "What is Song Qingyi so smug about all the time? I really don't know which girl will be stupid enough to marry him someday."
Then she went to get some water, and when she came back, she saw that she'd accidentally sent that message to the company group chat.

Mortified, Ye Cheng packed up and fled that very day. But just as she stepped out of the elevator, she ran into that "walking disaster."
The tall, slender man wore a gray shirt with the collar slightly open. His voice was clear yet low, and his dark eyes narrowed as he looked her over.
"So you never intend to take responsibility for the things you say?"
Ye Cheng: QAQ
Ye Cheng: Wait, which thing does he mean?

It wasn't until their wedding night that Ye Cheng saw a screenshot. It showed the message she'd never received back then: "I like you too." It was from sixteen-year-old Song Qingyi.
The date was eight years ago, the night she blocked him.
How embarrassing. Turns out she was the one who'd been stupid.
