From the time she was 16 to the age of 26. They went to the same school, but no matter what she did, she could never bridge the gap and catch up with him. During a winter shift, the doctors and nurses in the department gather to talk about the people they used to have crushes on.

Please add it to your reading list!------ The eldest son of the Bo family is widely known among the powerful and wealthy as a prodigy: elegant, refined, and learned, he reaches heights with every gesture that others can only dream of. In high school, Li Chu had the good fortune to meet him while tutoring his younger brother. Back then, his eyes were cold and indifferent, and he exuded a quiet distance. Li Chu thought he disliked her, so she never dared act up around him. Even if he caught her laughing and joking with his younger brother, she'd immediately fall silent. After graduating from college, Li Chu learns that Bo Cenyuan is managing the company across the ocean. Faced with two options, she chooses the better one: joining Bo Corporation. Only two months after starting the job, Li Chu sees the man who should be across the ocean at the head office. He has become her direct superior. Li Chu reverts to the tense, cautious girl she was in high school, always avoiding Bo Cen. But Bo Cen has changed from the cool, distant man she remembers, and now he steadily closes in on her. After a company party, Li Chu is standing in the cold with a coworker, dressed too lightly as they wait for a car. Bo Cen takes off his coat and drapes it over her shoulders. Alarmed, Li Chu says softly, “Mr. Bo.” Bo Cen looks up at her and answers with a quiet “Hmm?” in the night. Li Chu takes off the coat, flustered. “Isn't this a little inappropriate?” Bo Cen presses down on her soft, fair hand and carefully puts the coat back on her. His low voice turns husky as his shameful, long-hidden thoughts spill out all at once. “I think it suits you perfectly.” -- Bo Cen falls for the girl his younger brother has feelings for. He restrains his shameful desires and suppresses his urge to take her for himself, forcing himself to stay away. When they meet again, the girl who once brimmed with youthful energy has grown into a woman whose beauty is just coming into full bloom. Bo Cen's dark gaze falls on her, and he can no longer hold back. He keeps closing in, luring her, unsuspecting, into his snare until she belongs to him. Reading guide: 1.
