The Wind Is Too Loud, I Can't Hear You

Jiang Li decided to confess to Fu Wensheng, her secret crush of three years, when they graduated from high school.

The wind was howling that day. Standing on the rooftop of the sixth floor, she shouted down at the people below:

"Fu Wensheng, I like you!"

Unfortunately, after she said that, Fu Wensheng looked up at her with a bewildered expression.

At that moment, she knew her three-year crush was over.

Even worse, the howling wind blew her right off the roof.

Jiang Li thought that she and the person she loved were never meant to be in this life. They would have to meet again in the next.

Then she opened her eyes and realized five years had passed. Her university days were long over, and everything in the world was as it had been, except Fu Wensheng was gone.

One day, when her family, on the verge of bankruptcy, arranged a blind date for their young heiress, she met a powerful businessman.

They said he was cold and ruthless, devoid of emotion, and that the two of them were entering an ordinary business marriage.

Jiang Li anxiously fiddled with the stem of her wineglass. When she looked up and saw the tycoon, her eyes were instantly drawn to him.

H-He looks exactly like my first love!

After spending some time together, they prepared to get married. Jiang Li thought Fu Yue looked so much like her first love, and she felt guilty for treating him as a substitute.

So, on another day when the wind was howling, she climbed onto a tall rooftop and shouted:

"Fu Yue, I love you!"

She rehearsed it once and felt that her guilt had reached its peak.

Forget it. This is just an ordinary business marriage, anyway.

Thinking that, Jiang Li turned to leave. At that moment, she saw Fu Yue standing before her in his old school uniform, a youthful smile still on his lips.

"The wind was too loud. I didn't hear what you said. Say it again."
