①

In their third year together,

Lu Jiayan got drunk and asked Xie Shu to pick him up.

When she reached the private room, she heard someone inside ask Lu Jiayan who she was to him.

Everyone else egged them on. Annoyed by the question, he finally said, "She's just a younger sister I grew up with."

②

When Xie Shu was sixteen, she lost her home and moved in with the Lu family.

Lu Jiayan had always hated trouble, but this time he didn't argue with her like he had when they were kids. Instead, he walked her to and from school and helped her fit in with her classmates.

Xie Shu thought he liked her.

Even after they started dating, he never made their relationship public, and he never once said, "I love you."

Only later did Xie Shu understand that there was another phrase in love: knowing when to cut your losses.

③

Fu Mingyu thought that after missing his chance when they were young, there could never be a happy ending.

He didn't know that love had taken root in his heart and quietly grown until he met Xie Shu again.

Synopsis:

A short story | Second male lead wins

①

Ming Cheng took leave to celebrate her long-distance boyfriend's birthday. She arrived at his office early, only to see him leave with a coworker, their arms linked.

Her boyfriend said the coworker had recently been stalked, and he was just doing a good deed.

②

When they had just graduated, Ming Cheng was watching a show with her boyfriend when a scene came on in which a couple broke up because of a long-distance relationship, and things got rather ugly.

Her boyfriend grabbed the remote and changed the channel.

Ming Cheng was taken aback, then realized what was going on and laughed. "What are you afraid of?"

They were in a long-distance relationship too.

③

Ming Cheng and Jiang Cheng had truly been childhood sweethearts. But just as Ming Cheng was about to confess near the end of high school, she discovered that someone had left for another country without a word.

Six years later, Jiang Cheng thought he'd come back too late. Then he realized that there was still time after all.

Please note:

1. The "stalking" is fake. If you ever experience it, please be sure to call the police.

2. The boyfriend is Song Chi; the endgame couple is Jiang Cheng.
