Li Yushen first met Tang Yihuan at a friend's bar.
The girl wore a sequined miniskirt and looked at him with innocent doe eyes. Blushing, she asked, “Hi, could you buy me a drink?”
Li Yushen appraised her with amusement for two seconds.
Plenty of women had asked him to buy them drinks as an excuse to hit on him, but this was the first time anyone had added “hi” at the beginning.
He gave her his own glass of whiskey.
The girl took a sip and choked, her face turning bright red.
Li Yushen handed her a tissue, then picked up the remaining whiskey and downed it. He said calmly, “Little sister, this place isn't right for you.”

The second time Li Yushen saw Tang Yihuan was when his good friend Tang Sui's sister came to stay at his place for a while.
The first thing he noticed was the bow on the girl's long dress.
His friend Tang Sui draped an arm over his shoulder and introduced her. “This is my little sister, Tang Yihuan. Isn't she sweet?”
Li Yushen's thin lips curled slightly as he replied meaningfully, “Mm, very sweet.”

Tang Yihuan fell in love with Li Yushen at first sight, but he seemed to have no feelings for her at all.
So she shed her good-girl persona again and again, learning to tease and tempt him. But Li Yushen remained unmoved, and would even smile and tell her, “Little sister, you're too young. I'm not right for you.”
Later, Tang Yihuan was disheartened and decided to give up. She never expected that the man would pin her against the doorway.
Tang Yihuan pushed at him with red eyes. “Let go of me?”
Li Yushen looked down at her, his jaw clenched so hard it hurt. “Let you go on a date with that guy from earlier?”
“Tang Yihuan, don't even think about it!”
As soon as he finished speaking, his burning lips pressed against hers.

I spent my life healing other people's heartaches.
Then you became the heartache I could never heal.
