Ji Yan broke up with her boyfriend.
She felt deeply wronged, so she posted a plea for advice online: "My boyfriend cheated on me with my best friend. How can I get back at them in a satisfying way?"
One comment left her stunned.
Netizen: "Fight fire with fire."
A handsome man's face flashed through Ji Yan's mind. He was often nonchalant, his gaze calm, but when he lifted his eyes to look at someone, he had a way of making them feel pressured.
Her subconscious resisted the idea. She thought, I'd ask anyone but him.
Not long after, Ji Yan woke up after a night of drinking and met those familiar, deep black eyes. She was dumbfounded.
She had actually gone to Lu Changxun, her high school classmate, her ex-boyfriend's friend, and now her boss!
2.
One day, during a department dinner, they played the game "I've done something you haven't." When it was Lu Changxun's turn, he lowered his eyes and said unhurriedly, "I've written a love letter to someone I liked."
Everyone laughed. "We've done that too."
Lu Changxun glanced at Ji Yan, then added with a lazy smile, "I wrote it for a friend."
The private room fell silent. Everyone stared at him in disbelief.
Ji Yan's breath caught, and her mind went blank.
She had received plenty of long, flowery love letters in the past, written with elegant prose and ornate words. But one letter, though only a few short lines, had moved her entire youth.
--I like you.
--If you feel the same, then great. If you don't, then don't smile at me.
--I'm afraid I won't be able to have you, and won't be able to forget you either.
Bonus scene:
One day after they got together, Ji Yan happened to discover that Lu Changxun had a secret Weibo account. The username looked familiar, so she clicked on it out of curiosity.
Then she saw his comment beneath her post.
Seeking the Ordinary: Fight fire with fire.
A netizen replied to him below:
Right! Sleep with his friend!
Right!
Right!
Ji Yan was stunned. She had a vague feeling she'd fallen into his elaborate trap.
