[Written many years ago, and saved as a draft for over a decade. It has lots of potential trigger points, and also a BL storyline. It hasn't been revised, so don't read it.]
One day, a canary flew into the compound. Rich, good-looking, and very high-profile.
Mi Yu couldn't stand him. In the middle of the night, she sneaked into his home and cruelly punctured the tires on his mountain bike.
The curtains on the second floor swayed faintly. Mi Yu went home, thoroughly satisfied.
The next day at school, all the girls in her class were talking about the new transfer student.
Class monitor Jiang Heng had just returned from the office after handing in the homework. She blocked his way and asked, “That new student in the office, is he handsome?”
Jiang Heng calmly replied with a question: “What do you think?”
Still holding a grudge because the class monitor hadn't let her copy his homework that morning, she answered without a second thought, “I bet he's more handsome than you.”
Jiang Heng gave her a meaningful look, said three words, and walked into the classroom.
“Don't regret it.”
As it turned out, Jiang Heng was right.
Never mind his looks, his personality was downright awful, and he had a vicious, nasty mouth.
Whenever he saw her, he called her “daughter” over and over. Mi Yu was tormented by him for more than half a semester.
Yet with that wickedly beautiful face, he became the most popular boy in the whole school overnight. Every student except her was very fond of him.
-
Until one day, on a stormy night, he fell off his speeding mountain bike.
His face was pale, his whole body convulsing.
Mi Yu stepped up to help, carried him to the hospital, and unexpectedly caught a glimpse of his secret.
Feeling guilty, she stayed and took care of him all night.
That night, he acted like a spoiled young master, ordering her around as if it were only natural. He wanted food the moment he opened his mouth and service the moment he stretched out his hand. Even when he needed the bathroom, he insisted she help him take off his pants.
Whenever Mi Yu was about to lose her temper, he would smile and disarm her with his harmless-looking pretty face.
He said, “It's only right for a daughter to take care of her father, isn't it?”
Mi Yu was exhausted. She stayed up all night watching his IV drip, and when the needle was finally removed, she collapsed asleep beside the bed.
But he shook her awake, just to say good night.
Later, after she had fallen asleep again, he quietly crept over beside her sleeping face. Playing with her eyelashes, he whispered,
“Mi Yu, shall I tell you a story?”
-
Later, once he was well, he flapped his wings and flew back to his big home in the north for the New Year.
Alone in the southern countryside, she tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
A registered letter arrived before the Lantern Festival, crossing thousands of mountains and rivers to bring her a train ticket.
That time, she traveled far from home all by herself.
He took her to many tourist spots and had her try all kinds of snacks she had never tasted before.
The farther they went into his home, the more imposing and tightly guarded it became. Yet the two of them never once let go of each other's hands.
At his birthday party, she felt completely out of place as she looked around at everything. She heard a girl deliberately whisper something in her ear.
After hearing it, she merely smiled coldly, grabbed the girl by the collar, and fell with her into the swimming pool behind them.
As she hit the water, a sentence came to mind, and she suddenly laughed.
*
After the farce, all she wanted was to get away as quickly as possible.
Outside the train station, he finally found her.
Under the streetlight, he gently rubbed his eyes.
Then, cautiously, he asked her, “Daughter, are you going to leave me?”
She slowly closed her eyes. Beneath the shifting spots of light, memories that had receded like the tide surfaced before her. In those memories, the boy sat at the piano, his back to the stage, leaving only his shadow behind him.
With his eyes closed, he thought of someone and read the poem word by word. His voice was gentle, romantic, and deep, but he put every ounce of strength into it, turning it into a heartache that could never be undone.
That year, he met her.
It seemed he had kept living only for this moment, to overcome countless obstacles and wait for someone to turn around, even if the chance was only one in a million.

Theme: Love is limitless
Madam, the longer you update, the higher the exposure will be. I suggest that after you finish writing, don't publish it all in one day. You can choose to publish a few thousand words a day, so that your wife's work can be seen by more people.
Please tell me, from the heroine's perspective, it can be seen that Jiang Heng likes her. She seems to dislike my state. Scholar, don't be a coward.
Jiang Heng is a typical example. The whole world knows that I like you, but you are the only one who doesn't know that I like you.
I stayed up late to watch it. It was great. Will there be a second part?
Start the second part soon!
"Bean" is a big thorn in the side of the author~ all
Already collected the second part, looking forward to the update
This chapter gives me the feeling that Mi Yu is not my biological child. I hope my idea is wrong.
3K updates per day is actually enough... Too many updates at one time, the update cycle will be shortened, and the exposure will also be reduced.
Does the monitor like the heroine? 🐰 Looking forward to the follow-up
