Elementary school assignments were based on where you lived. On the day the results were posted, Bai Weimo got up early and stood in front of the blackboard, straining to rise onto her toes as she searched for her name. Delighted, she called out, "Mom! I got into Nanshi Elementary!"
When she turned around, her eyes met Xie Zhuocheng's.
This was where their story began.
They grew up together, spending every day in each other's company. Bai Weimo gradually fell for him, but she was too shy to say it out loud. A secret crush meant waiting endlessly, but after all her waiting, all she got was that they were "as close as siblings."
Bai Weimo smiled bitterly. From then on, her heart sank into the dust.
Years later, the two ran into each other again after losing touch long ago because of work. Xie Zhuocheng looked at her, unable to stop his eyes from reddening.
"How could you not fall for someone you've watched grow up?"

At a class reunion, Bai Weimo calmly spoke about her old crush and admitted she had moved on. Xie Zhuocheng's expression didn't change, but he drained one glass of liquor after another.
Bai Weimo made an excuse to go to the restroom and escape. On the way, Xie Zhuocheng grabbed her and dragged her into the stairwell without a word.
The motion-sensor light above them was broken, leaving the stairwell pitch-black.
Xie Zhuocheng had been drinking, and his mind was clouded. Even his breath came out scorching hot, as if he wanted to burn a hole through her heart.
"Can you give me a hug?" He was humble to the bone. "Just this once. I won't bother you again after this."
