At Dusk

[Main story complete]

Meng Cheng was fired by her company.

She has a haughty nature and is famous in the industry as a fiery beauty.

After a female star whose collaboration she had rejected stabbed her in the back and cost her her job, Meng Cheng swallowed her anger and took a director's job at a small company.

Burdened by a mortgage and without a friend or relative to turn to, even someone as ambitious as Meng Cheng felt overwhelmed when she was assigned to make a documentary about her first love and ex-boyfriend.

She had left so casually back then, but when they met again, she didn't dare so much as glance at the man before her, wearing a white coat and radiating a refined, ascetic air.

"Meng Cheng, how dare you show your face in front of me?"

Jiang Xu is known as the prettiest doctor at Haicheng Hospital. He is warm and gentle, treating his patients like the spring itself.

But only Meng Cheng knows that when it comes to people he dislikes, he bristles with thorns.

After they reunite, she becomes one of the people he "dislikes."

On the night of the documentary's wrap party, she is plied with drinks. She vaguely hears someone ask how she and Jiang Hexu first got together.

Very drunk, Meng Cheng says haughtily, "I kissed him by force, and then he wouldn't leave me alone. He insisted I take responsibility."

No one believes her. Are you sure you didn't get the second part backward?

Challenged, Meng Cheng turns in a huff, grabs the man's tie, and plants a forceful kiss on him.

"Jiang Xu, tell them. Wasn't it you who kept haunting me and wanted to be my loyal lapdog?"

With everyone watching, the man, who had been silent until then, lets all his sharpness melt away. He catches Meng Cheng as she slumps and smiles gently.

"She's right about everything."

In high school, Tao Tao was an ordinary student, with an ordinary appearance and an unremarkable personality. She didn't stand out in a crowd.

She liked the heartthrob in her grade. He was first in their year and very handsome.

She couldn't bring herself to talk to him.

So she deliberately got close to his friend, Lu Yan.

Everyone in their circle was the center of attention.

To fit in with them, she maintained a strange relationship with Lu Yan.

Lu Yan was a mysterious person. He was aloof and quiet, with beautiful foxlike eyes and a small mole on the bridge of his nose.

Only Tao Tao knew how frightening he could be. His eyes scared her the most, as if he could see everything, including the darkest things in people's hearts.

After the college entrance exams, the two officially got together. That summer, Tao Tao broke up with him, and they lost touch.

After entering the working world, Tao Tao rushed into the short-video industry as a mukbang creator. She had only a handful of followers, and in the end she had no choice but to pack up and move back to her hometown.

To support herself, she took a receptionist job at a gaming company.

Later, at a company dinner, the boss finally returned from a business trip.

Tao Tao was cooking in the kitchen when the man leaned against the doorframe, playing with a ring in his hand.

Those familiar foxlike eyes. He had grown more mature.

"Lu... Lu Yan?"

Lu Yan chuckled and slipped the ring onto his middle finger. He was still as mysterious and inscrutable as ever.

"Long time no see, Tao Tao."

Just seeing him made Tao Tao's legs tremble. She knew both sides of him, and she knew how calculating he could be.

After she started working, a colleague asked her, "You and the big boss went to the same high school. Do you know him?"

Tao Tao stared guiltily at the ceiling. "N-no, I don't. Someone as ordinary as me wouldn't know him."

Later, someone saw Lu Yan pull Tao Tao into his arms, cupping her face. "When will you like me?"

His voice was humble and wounded, like an abandoned puppy.

When they first met in high school, Tao Tao found him at his lowest. He was like a wild dog that had fallen into an abyss. He didn't expect her to save him; he only wanted to drag her down with him.
