Due to special circumstances, Jiang Jianyü moves in with the Lu family. She and the family's young master, Lu Qingzhuo, go from barely knowing each other to commuting to school together.
Everyone says Lu Qingzhuo is gloomy and difficult to get along with, but Jiang Jianyü doesn't agree.
When she's ostracized at school, Lu Qingzhuo takes the initiative to keep her company.
When she's bullied outside, Lu Qingzhuo steps in to defend her.
Even when she accidentally breaks his beloved figurine, he simply says good-naturedly, "It's okay. I won't blame you, Sis."
In Jiang Jianyü's eyes, Lu Qingzhuo is a gentle, introverted young man who isn't good with words.
That is, until the day she accidentally discovers what he's really like.
It turns out he was the one who arranged for her to be ostracized at school.
Her being bullied outside was indirectly because of him, too.
Even the favor she owed him for breaking his figurine was part of his plan.
Jiang Jianyü looked at the handsome young man, a chill running down her spine. "Why are you treating me like this?"
Lu Qingzhuo's gaze settled on her face. He smiled faintly, the little dimple at the corner of his mouth just visible. "It's enough for me to be the only one in your world, Sis."
.
After graduation, Jiang Jianyü moved away and cut off all contact with Lu Qingzhuo. Five years later, she returned to Shen City with her parents, and the Lu family hosted a banquet to welcome them back.
During the banquet, Jiang Jianyü's phone rang. She stepped aside and spoke to the caller gently and patiently.
Lu Qingzhuo listened to the entire conversation, then casually asked, "Work you need to take care of?"
Jiang Jianyü raised her eyes and glanced at him, then coolly tossed out three words: "My boyfriend."
Lu Qingzhuo's expression froze. Then he gave a soft laugh, the little dimple at the corner of his mouth particularly noticeable. "So Sis brought back a wonderful gift."
.
Lu Qingzhuo has always done whatever he pleases and stopped at nothing to get what he wants.
But later, when Jiang Jianyü remained unmoved, he grew frantic. All his usual arrogance disappeared as he wrapped his arms around her waist and murmured, "Xiao Yu, please. Don't leave me."
