Grapefruit Paradise

Qiao You suspects there is something wrong with her.

She had loved Xie Huaijin for years, from high school through college, trying everything she could to melt his icy heart.

She brought him breakfast every morning, went to the restaurant where he worked and walked him home, stood up for him when others picked on him, introduced him to all her friends because he was lonely and insecure, and grew sad and jealous when he fell for another girl.

She stayed by Xie Huaijin's side as his good friend, but all their friends knew she loved him.

Even Qiao You thought so.

So when one of Xie Huaijin's friends called, she resolutely went out late at night to bring him home after he'd drunk himself silly over love.

But when she actually helped the drunken man to his feet and heard him say, in a hoarse, magnetic voice that sounded both drunk and sober, "Qiao Qiao, I like you," all she wanted was to drop him on the ground and run for it.

After that night, Qiao You blocked Xie Huaijin on every platform. She never saw him again and made sure he had no chance to find her.

After hiding from him for half a year, just as Qiao You was almost forgetting Xie Huaijin and thinking about pursuing a new romance, he came looking for her again.

Their friends all tried to persuade Xie Huaijin to leave Qiao You alone, telling him not to go back to an old flame. But Xie Huaijin only fixed his cool gaze on the woman before him and asked, "Qiao Qiao, did you really ever like me?"

Qiao You couldn't answer.

Because on the night Xie Huaijin confessed to her, she suddenly realized that all her love for him had disappeared, beyond her control.
