Chu Yi and Jiang Ning's relationship began and ended in the summer after the college entrance exams.
They each went abroad to pursue their dreams.
They parted amicably, and sincerely wished each other well when they said goodbye.
They stayed in touch now and then during their years abroad, but eventually their messages sank to the bottom of the chat window.
Years later, they returned home and met again. They hit it off right away and talked through the night.
They acted more like friends, and neither brought up their past relationship.
Later, at a classmate's wedding, Jiang Ning ran into her best friend's older brother. Their eyes met several times across the crowd.
Chu Yi noticed and raised a casual, teasing eyebrow. "Like him? Want me to get his WeChat for you?"
But when the wedding ended, the man offered to take Jiang Ning home.
After that, the two began talking more often. Chu Yi always found some excuse to spend every important holiday with her.
When Jiang Ning said her stomach hurt, Chu Yi was on a business trip overseas. He gave up a major project and booked an overnight flight home, just to make her a bowl of congee.
When she learned the truth, Jiang Ning asked, "I'm not your girlfriend. Why do you spoil me so much?"
Chu Yi blew on the congee to cool it, then held it to her lips. "We only dated for a few months back then. I never had the chance or the time. I still haven't spoiled you enough."
"You're single now, anyway. Let me spoil you until you get a boyfriend." Chu Yi gently brushed his thumb over the corner of Jiang Ning's mouth, smiling with easy affection. "It's not like you're losing out."
