The print edition is now available. For related information, visit @Jinjiang Peach Flavor. After breaking up with her first love, Wen Ning impulsively flirted with a boy who worked part-time at a convenience store. The boy was named Shen Yi. Tall and slim, quiet and neat, good at studying, and from a poor family. The inexperienced boy couldn't resist her sweet talk and soon fell for her. Wen Ning only wanted a casual fling. From the start, she never planned for it to last. - After spending some time together, Shen Yi gradually saw Wen Ning's true colors. She was hot and cold, lied constantly, and didn't take him seriously. But he still clung to a foolish hope and couldn't bring himself to let go. After their graduation ceremony, Shen Yi waited all night at the place they'd agreed to meet, but she never showed up. In the end, all he got was her sudden departure, every contact method blocked, and a text saying 200,000 yuan had been deposited in his account. Her message was only three words: I'm sorry. Shen Yi searched the whole city for Wen Ning without finding her, thinking he'd never see her again. Then, one day years later, he happened to see her walking alongside a boy in a school uniform. The boy looked remarkably like him. - One night after they got back together, Wen Ning was asleep when the man beside her suddenly wrapped his arms tightly around her. The man, who had long since risen to a position of power and could remain calm and composed no matter what happened, now revealed a rare trace of hurt and vulnerability. As if reliving something from long ago in a dream, he held her tight and pleaded in a hoarse voice, "Wen Ning, don't treat me like this. Please don't. You know... I can't live without you." 1.
