In their first year of high school, Ji Mi was the famously cool-headed top student, while Ren Chuzhi was a rich, sweet, pretty-but-empty-headed girl.
During an evening study session, Ren Chuzhi secretly tossed a note to Ji Mi, only to be caught red-handed by a teacher making the rounds to check discipline.
The note was unusually bold: Ji Mi, I've been chasing you for ages. Will you be my boyfriend or not?
After reading it, the teacher's face turned livid. He sent Ren Chuzhi outside to stand as punishment, hoping to make an example of her.
But as Ren Chuzhi passed Ji Mi, she couldn't help winking at him out of habit.
Seeing this, the teacher immediately turned to Ji Mi with a pained expression and asked him to speak, hoping the rejection of his prized student would save this misguided girl.
The teacher asked solemnly, "Ji Mi, is there anything you'd like to say to Ren Chuzhi?"
All the students waited to see Chuzhi make a fool of herself.
Ji Mi replied, his voice restrained, "Let's talk after the college entrance exams."

Nine years after they parted, the two met again.
By then, Ren Chuzhi was a radio host, and Ji Mi was a surgeon.
Ren Chuzhi lay trembling on the operating table. As she looked into the surgeon's eyes, she found them strangely familiar.
Early the next morning, when the doctor made his rounds, Ren Chuzhi finally couldn't hold back her question. "Doctor Ji, which Ji is your Ji?"
She still held on to one last hope: perhaps it was the Ji in "discipline."
Ji Mi replied coolly, "Ji Mi. Ji as in 'season,' and Mi as in 'make amends.'"
Much later, when Ren Chuzhi discovered that the fan who had silently supported her radio show with messages from its very beginning was Ji Mi, she asked in surprise, "How could it be you?"
"How could it be me?"
Ji Mi smiled faintly. "Chuzhi, there was no one else. It was always me."

This story has been signed for publication. I'll post updates on my Weibo, @Fenghui. The print edition includes a new 10,000-word bonus story. Thank you, everyone.
Coming soon: Tonight, We Fall. Blurb:
Jiang Zhixin was the pampered darling of the family.
That was until she was sixteen, when her stepfather brought home a seventeen-year-old boy as her older brother.
He was the campus heartthrob, universally admired: handsome, aloof, and as pristine as snow on a lofty mountain.
He politely called her little sister, patiently taught her to paint, and silently picked up the broken porcelain whenever she threw a tantrum.
But Jiang Zhixin couldn't stand him because he took some of her mother's affection away from her.
Before long, she began seducing her new stepbrother.
The shy, quiet boy, still in his teens, finally kissed her after enduring her relentless teasing for so long.
His lashes trembled when he closed his eyes. He was unbearably innocent.
And the hidden phone was recording it all.
Jiang Zhixin took the secretly recorded video and tearfully accused her brother of harassing her.
When confronted, her brother's eyes were red-rimmed, but he pressed his lips together and knelt without a word, letting their father beat him.
She got what she wanted: the father and son were thrown out of the mansion.

After graduating from college, her business partner ran off with their money.
Jiang Zhixin scraped together a living by finding a job in marketing.
At a dazzling banquet, her boss respectfully introduced the distinguished man beside him. "This is the project sponsor, Mr. Ji."
At the sight of his cold, handsome face, Jiang Zhixin's scalp went numb.
After the business dinner, she messaged her best friend: [Help! My former stepbrother, the one I dumped, is now my client!]
A question mark came back.
[Should I just go sleep with him? I want to get some money out of him. I'm so broke I'm dizzy.]
When no reply came for a long time, Jiang Zhixin sensed something was wrong.
She slowly raised her eyes, and felt the sky come crashing down!
The person across from her was none other than the stepbrother she'd just added as a contact!
-
After she finally got what she wanted, the experience was so good that she couldn't stop craving him, so she took the initiative and asked him out again.
But the man looked down at her and refused with a faintly mocking smile. "Little sister, who are you planning to show the recording to this time?"
Only then did Jiang Zhixin realize she'd been played!
Theme: Love goes both ways, and no one should be left waiting in vain.
Hahaha fart, small community death scene
Very nice! Can the author take a look at the private message on Weibo?
Very well written! Chu Zhi and Ji Mi are both very good people. It is a pity that they missed those nine years. Fortunately, their fate has always been there, and the reunion after a long separation is always heart-warming. I really like Chu Zhi, she is as enthusiastic and warm as a little sun. Even if she has experienced a lot of bad things, you can still see the vigorous vitality in her. She could express her love passionately in high school, and she could still bravely take that step nine years later. The family line is also very touching. Her parents and younger brother who first arrived loved her very much. Xiao Eucalyptus is really good at comedy, I really like his interaction with Chu Zhi hahaha. When I was reading, I thought, if there was no accident at home when I was in high school, and she didn't transfer to another school, and she was still the bright and cheerful little sun, would they be able to have a long-term relationship after the college entrance examination (I kind of want to watch the high school IF line hehe). Maybe there are always regrets in youth, but fortunately, Ji Mi finally heard the answer after nine years of waiting. Maybe it's because there are so many mistakes in real life and there aren't that many reunions after a long absence, so I was very moved by their stories. I hope that Chu Zhi and Ji Mi can be together forever, for a long time, and get what they want. Thank you for the story~(?°3°?)

Ding~Business fluid blessing update is stress-free!
Is it going to end so soon?
Aren't you resuming the update? Damn it, why did it stop again?
It's okay, come on!
