Inferior Innocence

Rascalish and unruly x flirtatious little lunatic

Luo Zheng first met Liang Manyue at a funeral. In a red dress, she stood among the black-clad mourners like a blood-red rose in tears.

The second time was at a hospital. Wearing a white coat, the woman expressionlessly cleaned the wound on his abdomen.

Later, they met at a bar. The man's tall, lazy figure was immersed in the hazy lights, blocking the only way out. Her clear, beautiful eyes met his. Liang Manyue said, “I'll say it again. My business is none of yours.”

“I'm not talking about that.” Luo Zheng gave her a teasing look, staring right at her. “I just wanted to ask what we're going to do about that night.”

Liang Manyue: “...”

“You flirted with me and ran off?” Luo Zheng smiled. “That was fun, huh?”

Everyone in the unit knew Luo Zheng was a cold, roguish man, an untamed horse when it came to relationships. No one could control him. Yet somehow, he fell into Liang Manyue's hands.

The woman was gorgeous and prickly, unmoved by his advances. Everyone around him urged him to give up, but Luo Zheng only laughed. “I owe that little ingrate, that's all.”

Until one day, during a mission, Luo Zheng was seriously injured and loaded into an ambulance. Everyone saw Liang Manyue press down on his wound as tears fell in great drops.

Luo Zheng acted as if he couldn't feel the pain, reaching up to wipe her tears. “Liang Manyue, did I ever tell you? Sooner or later, you'll be mine.”

When she was twelve, one of Luo Zheng's words sent Liang Manyue down a path of hardship and upheaval. After they reunited, Liang Manyue thought she might as well play him to death.

But later, she realized Luo Zheng had known why she came all along.

That night, the man forcibly held her in his arms, laughing recklessly. “Isn't this just a game?”

“Liang Manyue, I can take whatever you dish out.”

At university, Lu Beining pursued the handsome guy Zhou Yin with reckless abandon, making no secret of her feelings.

Zhou Yin came from a poor family, excelled in his studies, and had an aloof, chaste air. He was the most admired, moonlight-like heartthrob at A University.

Lu Beining did everything she could to win him over. At last, on a bright afternoon, the boy in white softened in the sunlight and agreed, his gaze unusually gentle. “Then let's give it a try.”

But the relationship didn't last long. Before long, Zhou Yin broke up with her, saying they belonged to different worlds.

Lu Beining was furious: Fine, we're done!! Whoever goes crawling back is a damn dog!!

She threw out those words, then turned and ran into the rain, ending that bittersweet youth.

2. Years later, Lu Beining joined a new company, only to discover that Zhou Yin, her ex from years ago, was now her direct supervisor. He looked just as handsome as ever, but his cool demeanor had acquired an irresistible sensuality.

Determined not to fall into the same trap twice, Lu Beining kept her distance and focused on pursuing a cute younger guy. But she couldn't land him, and every day she found herself in dire straits, either on her way to Zhou Yin's office or already inside it.

Until one day, the cute younger guy was transferred away.

Lu Beining exploded.

According to the gossip, she pointed at Zhou Yin's nose and yelled at him in the office that day. The clueless spectators all thought she was doomed, unaware that inside the charged office, Zhou Yin had her pinned against the edge of the desk. His breath was hot, his voice low and alluring

“That's right. I did it on purpose.”

“I'm jealous when I see you flirting with him. So what?”

3. Only later did Lu Beining understand that everything that seemed like chance had been carefully planned. All that apparent calm and indifference had been the result of countless moments of restraint. And the boy in white named Zhou Yin loved her far more fiercely, and for far longer, than she had imagined.
