[Opening in November or early December]
When Jiang Jiamao was sent to live at her maternal grandmother's house, her parents were busy getting divorced.
She went from heaven to hell in an instant.
One day, her childhood best friend brought a buddy along to have dinner with her.
As the friend introduced them, he could hardly contain his pride. "Jiamao, this is Lin Yihuai, the famous top student at our school!"
The boy sat beside her, relaxed and languid. When he saw her, he merely curved his lips in a lazy smile. With those alluring peach-blossom eyes, he looked just like a fox spirit descended to earth.
Later, Lin Yihuai skipped a grade and entered Peking University as the top scorer in the city.
By then, Jiang Jiamao was only in her second year of high school, and her mother had brought her back to live with her.
Lin Yihuai gave a scoffing laugh. "So you're leaving. It's not like I need you around."

When Jiang Jiamao met Lin Yihuai again, six years had passed.
He was still the favored child of heaven, now a young diplomat at the Foreign Affairs Department. She dismissed the feelings and grievances of their youth as childish foolishness and deliberately kept her distance.
Until one night, after drinking, Jiang Jiamao drove him home.
Lin Yihuai reached out and gripped her wrist. His eyes were dark and intent, his warm breath brushing past her as he said solemnly, "Jiang Jiamao, I've waited for you for six years. I've been serious from the very beginning."
"Your unbelievable smile, slipping through the gaps in idle conversation, roused my slumbering youth."
