Jiaojiao [Entertainment Industry]

Ruan Jiao had been secretly in love with Ye Zhuoxuan for seven years, spanning her entire youth.

On the day the college entrance exams ended, she finally worked up the courage to confess, only to discover that he hadn't even remembered her name.

Heartbroken after becoming the laughingstock of No. 7 High School, Ruan Jiao decided to study abroad.

Seven years later, Ruan Jiao, now an international supermodel, returned to China for a charity event.

There she learned that the boy who had once been her idol had become a national heartthrob, and was still unmarried.

Rumor had it that the reason was that he still thought about his high-school sweetheart, the girl who had gone abroad.

Ruan Jiao, who still hadn't given up on her idol, felt her heart sink.

She resolved to put an end to her feelings, tears and all.

Ye Zhuoxuan had secretly loved a girl for fourteen years, but his own self-righteousness had made him miss his chances with her time and again.

At last, she returned to China.

The little girl who used to hover around him had become a completely different person.

At a banquet after their reunion, Ye Zhuoxuan finally worked up the courage to say, "Long time no see."

Ruan Jiao looked at him coldly. "Sorry, have we met before?"

When the two of them were photographed eating together, gossip reporters snapped a picture.

Netizens speculated that she might be the woman Ye Zhuoxuan had loved for years.

Ruan Jiao immediately came online to set the record straight: We didn't know each other before, and we're not close now. We're work partners. Stop making things up.

Her firm attitude even made the CP shippers who'd been getting excited give up, and they joked that they'd made up a ship out of nothing.

Then one day, a post digging into Ye Zhuoxuan's school days went viral.

One after another, people claiming to have been his classmates in middle and high school came forward with juicy details.

Bystander One: "I heard that in middle school, the big shot skipped his chemistry class to watch his sweetheart perform and got a serious demerit from the dean."

Bystander Two: "Word is that he could have gone to a top provincial high school, but he chose this city-run experimental school because his sweetheart lived near No. 7 High School."

Bystander Three: "They say that in high school, he heard a thug from school roll his eyes at his sweetheart, beat him so badly he ended up in the hospital, and nearly got expelled!"

Bystander Four: "Apparently..."

Ruan Jiao: Wait, wait, hold on...

Why do all these stories sound so familiar?
