■Marriage First, Love Later■ Childhood Friend Appears Out of Nowhere■ Slice of Life
1.
As a Chinese teacher, Tao Zhen had absolutely no good impression of Xu Zhousheng, the art teacher who worked with her.
His style was flamboyant, his clothes flashy, and he relied on his handsome face to flirt with one woman after another. He was brazen and audacious, exactly the kind of man Tao Zhen despised most.
So when their boss tried to set them up, she politely declined, then turned around and openly complained to a colleague she was close to: Who in their right mind would want a man like Xu Zhousheng?
Xu Zhousheng happened to be passing by and heard every word.
He shot her a glance with his beautiful, flirtatious eyes and said coolly, "Hmph."
Tao Zhen raised an eyebrow and looked right back at him without holding anything back.
The very next day, a remark supposedly made by Xu Zhousheng to a friend in private reached her ears:
"Me, fall for Tao Zhen? Only if I were blind."
2.
Rumors that Tao Zhen and Xu Zhousheng couldn't stand each other were widespread among the staff at Jiangzhou No. 9 Middle School.
The two were like fire and water. Even the boss who loved playing matchmaker gave up on setting them up.
Everyone quickly accepted one rule: if you invited them to dinner, never seat Tao Zhen and Xu Zhousheng at the same table.
Yet one evening after school, a passing teacher accidentally caught sight of them:
Xu Zhousheng, who had always thought highly of himself, had the woman he claimed he couldn't stand pinned against a desk. He tenderly brushed his lips against hers and murmured in a plaintive little voice, "Honey, I was wrong."
When everyone found out, they could only ask: Huh? Huh? Huh?
So much for not getting along! Wait, when did you two get married?
3.
Tao Zhen didn't like Xu Zhousheng, but after they got married, she thought that maybe loving him just a little wasn't so bad.
