Watching the Days Go By

As a child, Qiao Xi was forced by an accident to live with her father and stepmother. In doing so, she unexpectedly gained an uncle eight years her senior, and a warm home.

He was a heaven-blessed prodigy; she was a destitute orphan. They came from different worlds, and the invisible barrier between them was one she could not cross, and he could not bridge.

Fate favors no one. They parted, reunited, then parted again, never finding a place to call home.

Qiao Xi often prayed that she could grow up faster,

so she could forget her unhappy childhood and be with you.

Then one day, she realized that perhaps Yi Zhao favored her.

When she came of age, Qiao Xi summoned the courage to cross that chasm and confess her feelings to him,

but he told her to give up on this absurd love.

Through tears, Qiao Xi asked him, "Yi Zhao, am I disgusting?"

Qiao Xi ran away. She was gone for three years,

and those same three years were pure torment for Yi Zhao.

It seemed he had gained so much, yet lost the most precious thing of all.

It wasn't until he met Qiao Xi again that he realized she was a temptress.

Her hot-and-cold games, drawing him in only to push him away, made his heart race with every move,

leaving him lovesick, driven to madness, and unable to have the one he loved.

At the Nightfall Bar, Qiao Xi was hot and alluring,

drawing the eyes of nearly every man there.

She flirted intimately with a man at the bar,

while quietly watching Yi Zhao seethe with jealousy in the corner.

At last, she asked him the question she had asked years ago:

"Yi Zhao, do you like me?"

Yi Zhao had to admit that what he felt for Qiao Xi was more than fondness. It was love.

Qiao Xi sneered and shoved him aside. "How disgusting."
