Butterfly Sinks into Delight

[1] Ning Younian, the young heir of the capital's elite circle: arrogant, unruly, wild, and effortlessly cool.

Xia Qingzhi: gentle and well-behaved, with skin like jade and a scholarly air.

No one could have imagined that the two of them would ever get involved with each other.

They went their separate ways after high school. They met again when their companies started working together.

Xia Qingzhi recognized Ning Younian at a glance. In a bustling bar, under dim lights, Ning Younian stood surrounded by people. He glanced over casually, but his attention was caught by Xia Qingzhi.

Someone beside him said the girl looked quiet and warned him not to get any ideas.

Ning Younian curled his lips into a smile. "I don't think that's the case."

When they were alone, Xia Qingzhi dropped her prim and proper facade and dared to do something she'd wanted to for a long time. "Ning Younian, I want to kiss you."

The starlight in Ning Younian's eyes flickered as he pulled her into his arms. "That doesn't fit your public image."

Xia Qingzhi kissed him. "Who needs an image in front of someone they like?"

Ning Younian wrapped a large hand around her waist and laughed heartily.

Ning Younian never expected that the girl who used to blush just from looking at him in high school would now be able to pin him beneath her.

[2] Xia Qingzhi fell for Ning Younian in high school, but he never knew.

She had meant to keep the secret to herself, but seeing Ning Younian again made her heart race.

When they reunited, she was the one who approached him.

No one expected that beneath Ning Younian's playboy facade was someone who would spoil his lover without restraint.

He kissed her until she was breathless, bought her a car, and learned to cook for her.

Xia Qingzhi knew that all this splendor would eventually fade, as fleeting as a dream.

She broke up with him, and Ning Younian had never been dumped before.

Everyone around them thought they would never see each other again after breaking up. But even Ning Younian, once so untouchable, could sound hurt and bitter.

Proud as he was, he still went to find Xia Qingzhi, his eyes faintly red. "Xia Qingzhi, did you ever like me at all?"

Xia Qingzhi answered with silence, but he cornered her against the wall.

She could only say, "That's all in the past."

Ning Younian smiled bitterly, then turned and kissed her earlobe. His voice was low and seductive, leaving her no way to escape. "Then let's start over."

No one knew how much he couldn't bear to let her go.

He had never had a particularly strong moral compass. That is, until he met Xia Qingzhi and lost to her completely.

Even so, he was willing to lose to her.

He could keep losing forever, and that would be fine.

Both are virgins.
