When Gu Zhan was eighteen, he stood beneath the corridor, lost in thought, holding a book about the law.
In a daze, he could almost see himself in the hallway, tapping a girl's forehead with his pen and teasing her for being so clueless that she couldn't even understand a question like this, while she playfully dodged him.
He gathered his thoughts, looked at the firmly closed door across from him, and told himself that even if Cheng Que came back, he would never forgive her.
When twenty-five-year-old Gu Zhan opened his office door and met the eyes of the person outside, he knew at once: What had he meant by never forgiving her?
It was enough that she had come back.
At thirty-five, when people joked about Gu Zhan being henpecked and afraid of his wife over drinks, he simply laughed it off.
Afraid of his wife? That was his special talent.
His friends had no objections to that.
Everyone says childhood sweethearts can't compete with someone who appears later.
But in all the years Cheng Que was gone, no one could ever take her place.
…Scene break…
