Blurb:

[In summer's name, she is his one and only Xia Ye]

[Soft-spoken, calm, dry humor x passionate, flirtatious bad boy]

In college, quiet and reserved Xia Ye and rebellious, hedonistic Jin Chihuai were like two parallel lines that would never meet.

Yet, through all those days and nights no one knew about, they had a secret relationship known only to the two of them.

The passion with which they began was matched only by the decisiveness with which they ended things.

Years after they parted, Jin Chihuai had become a tech tycoon. He founded a gaming company, and the games it developed swept across the globe.

The financial press called him an unconventional, ambitious mogul.

Gamers around the world worshipped him like a god.

Jin Chihuai stood high above, in the clouds. He and Xia Ye had once again become parallel lines that would never meet.

Then, by pure chance, Xia Ye clicked into Jin Chihuai's Moments, which she had long since blocked, and saw a poolside photo his friend had posted from his phone.

He wore a black bathrobe draped loosely over his shoulders, his wet hair swept back to reveal sharp, weary brows. Water trickled down his solid chest. His abs were firm, his physique sharply defined, and his pose was cool, fierce, and arrogant.

Xia Ye stared down at Jin Chihuai's poolside photo, momentarily dazed. She remembered those nights when Jin Chihuai, hot with desire, had buried his face against her neck.

In that moment of distraction, Xia Ye accidentally liked the post.

The next second, she silently unliked it. She thought nothing of it and didn't imagine Jin Chihuai would happen to notice her accidental like.

But Xia Ye hadn't expected that, when they met again after all those years, Jin Chihuai would clamp a hand around her wrist and pin her against the wall with brazen abandon.

His dark eyes were deep as the tide. His hot breath enveloped her as he laughed in a casual, husky voice:

"What's the meaning of liking my abs photo?"

"What, you want to play with me again?"

*This story was first archived in September 2023. I have screenshots.

*The abs photo was just a shameless ploy to lure his wife ^ ^

(P.S. When he was thirteen, Jin Chihuai posted a photo of his uncle's abs. His aunt liked it on Moments. At twenty-six, Jin Chihuai used the same trick again.)
