Fake good girl / real hopeless romantic
Campus romance / reunion after years apart / both leads' first relationship
At sixteen, Xu Shi had a privileged family and a beautiful, radiant face.
She also had a confused, repressed heart, constantly struggling with itself.
Xu Shi had known for a long time that she was a terrible person. She wore a sweet, obedient face to meet expectations she had no choice but to shoulder.
That changed when Lu Jinghe saw through her. She stopped pretending around him.
-
For sixteen-year-old genius Lu Jinghe, his first real understanding of youth came through a girl.
He liked a bad girl, but he was clumsy and inexperienced.
-
A fine rain fell, and the air was damp and cold. The crowd bustled like a swarm of ants. Lu Jinghe's eyes were red-rimmed.
"Xu Shi, why are you different with me?"
Xu Shi lowered her head, avoiding his eyes. "How am I different? I'm pretty awful, right?"
When he didn't answer, she said quietly, "Lu Jinghe, this is who I am. Don't like me anymore."
Just as she turned to leave, she heard Lu Jinghe say:
"Then can you at least not treat anyone else this way?"
The leads only fall in love as adults!
