Prickly [Redemption]

#Upcoming novel: I Kissed My Crush Into the ICU. Please add it to your favorites! Li Yao had been in love with Zhou Zhiyan for years. She thought she was shameless and bold enough to use her childhood-friend status as an excuse to stick by his side, and had confessed her feelings to him time and again, openly and subtly. But Zhou Zhiyan was unmoved by both reason and emotion. In the end, he gave her a gentle yet distant reply: "Yaoyao, I only think of you as a little sister." Li Yao: ... She needed a full ten seconds to calm down before she could find her trembling voice. "Zhou Zhiyan, I'm long-legged from the neck down, and my face is so beautiful it's like a plastic surgeon's model. You think of me as a little sister? Who are you insulting?" After saying that, Miss Li ran off overseas. She was gone for three years, living it up and never mentioning the name "Zhou Zhiyan" again. The day she returned home, she walked into a cafe at the airport. Just as she was about to order, she heard something heavy fall behind her. A moment later, she turned around and saw a man curled up on the ground. His eyes were red at the corners, making his face look deathly pale. His body was trembling, and his fingers twitched spasmodically. Li Yao dodged the hand reaching toward her and coldly watched as the man was carried off in an ambulance by alarmed passersby. Then she answered the call from her best friend. "Hey, did you hear? I just saw someone suddenly collapse from an attack. He kind of looked like Zhou Zhiyan." Then she heard a cry behind her. The man pushed through the crowd, sounding as if he were pleading for help. "Yaoyao..." Li Yao hung up in shock. She fell silent for a few seconds, then forced her face to stay expressionless. "Zhou Zhiyan, long time no see. Have you learned to fake an accident for compensation?" Zhou Zhiyan is sick, and he won't get better. So he left his family, pushed away the person he loved, and tried to let himself waste away. But his beloved refused to give up. She kept trying to pull him back to her side. She was so domineering that she insisted on coaxing a thorny rose to bloom from the most barren soil. In the end, she succeeded. --I will put away my thorns and embrace you, even with yours.
