Lin Jianyi used to be a hooligan. Years later, he returned to his old ways and was still a hooligan.

Everyone at school said the new owner of the barbecue stall on the street outside was ridiculously handsome.
Only Sheng Siqian gave a cold laugh, remembering how Lin Jianyi had lied to her in high school, saying he'd open an entire street of barbecue stalls for her.
Back then, the boy was still a boy, and the moon was still the moon.
A week before transferring schools, Lin Jianyi spent two months' worth of breakfast money to buy her tickets to the concert she'd been longing to attend for a year.
Sheng Siqian waited expectantly for ages, only for Lin Jianyi to finally say, "Could you come with me into my future..."
He looked conflicted. "And help me pay back the five million I owe?"
Sheng Siqian: "..."
But years later, it turned out Lin Jianyi was still a jerk.
One evening, he cornered Sheng Siqian in an alley off the entire street of barbecue stalls next to the school. Nonchalantly burying his face against her neck, he said, "I've paid back ten thousand of that five million. Will you come with me for the remaining four million, nine hundred and ninety thousand?"
Sheng Siqian: "..."
What unrequited love? To hell with it.
Reunited after years apart? To hell with that, too.
"The most beautiful sunset I ever saw was on the night we met again.
That night, you came toward me in the light, and in your eyes, I saw the sunset spread across the sky."
