I Choose to Be Spoiled

Steel Rose x Young Undercover Agent Born into an illustrious family, aloof and refined, he made the rich list at twenty-eight. A high school dropout, resilient and dazzling, she graced the covers of a top magazine at twenty-three. In their youth, Xu Yanxing and Li Chuyu came from worlds apart. As adults, they had nothing to do with each other. No one knew they had once met beneath a bridge and secretly been together for years. As rain poured down, Li Chuyu held the blood-soaked Xu Yanxing and cried over and over, "Don't die!" Later, Li Chuyu imagined many times what it would be like to run into Xu Yanxing again. What she most hoped for was to attend his actual funeral sooner rather than later. If things got dramatic enough, perhaps it would be his wedding. In any case, she never imagined it would happen at a drinks gathering she couldn't get out of. When Xu Yanxing was asked what he regretted in life, he sipped his drink and fell silent for a long while. At last, his gaze settled on Li Chuyu. He answered calmly, "I have no regrets in life, except that I wronged the one I loved." As luck would have it, in the second round someone asked Li Chuyu what she wanted to say to her first love. She swirled her glass and said brightly, "You never once felt sad over me, so you don't deserve to have any regrets." She tipped her head back and drained her glass, crossing her long legs. "But never mind. Forget I said anything." Everyone egged her on. "Looks like you still have feelings for him!" Li Chuyu's peach-blossom eyes shimmered. "He's dead. Am I supposed to have an unfinished love affair with a ghost?" That day became the talk of their circle, because Xu Yanxing, famed for his restraint and coolness, got dead drunk. He dropped to one knee, gripping Li Chuyu's hand, his eyes red. "Please don't leave me, okay?" We once weathered life and death and parting, but neither of us imagined that was only the beginning. "I have no regrets in life, except that I wronged the one I loved.", Zhang Xueliang. "You never once... had any regrets." From Jacky Cheung's "Spring and Autumn."
