Zhong Yi broke up with her boyfriend after he cheated on her. Before that, she had already been losing sleep all night because he wasn't experiencing everything for the first time with her.
The thought of being cheated on by that rotten cucumber made her feel...
...&*#￥% so damn unwilling to accept it.
So she set her sights on the favored child of heaven, Shi Qingyu.
Shi Qingyu was a model student praised by everyone, perfect and beyond reproach.
His only flaw was probably that he was too aloof and detached. But he had an exceptionally striking face, and the contrast with his personality made even more people fall for him.
Zhong Yi had once been one of the many people who adored him.
They had attended the same high school, and because they shared friends, she had received some special consideration from him.
Other than that, they had no connection.
Acting on the impulse of a broken heart, she chose to approach him, only to be met with one cold rejection after another.
“We're not close.”
“Keep some distance from me.”
…
The last time, Zhong Yi was drunk and blocked him beside a washbasin. In a moment of inexplicable impulse, she leaned toward his lips, only for him to seize her by the arm. His hand was cold, like the ever-flowing late-spring water behind him. “Zhong Yi, get a hold of yourself.”
“Don't use me to heal your heartbreak.”
Those words erased the last trace of longing Zhong Yi had for him.
The final thing she saw when she looked at him was complete, utter coldness in his eyes.

But later, one night when Zhong Yi's roommate had just hurried back to the dormitory, she happened to glance toward the corner and see two people standing there.
There weren't many outstanding-looking people at the school, so she recognized Shi Qingyu at once.
And he seemed to be lowering his head to kiss a girl. The corner of the girl's clothing that was visible was the same one Zhong Yi had put on that morning.
Her roommate covered her mouth. What earth-shattering gossip was this?!!
When her roommate asked about that night afterward, Zhong Yi remembered only endless heat and confusion.
And Shi Qingyu's lingering kisses, one after another.
He said, “When you kiss me, do you think of him?”
Zhong Yi had once been tormented by the fact that she was not her boyfriend's first love, nor the first person he had held hands with or kissed.
Back then, that awkwardness always turned into invisible knives that made her heart ache and swell.
Now, Shi Qingyu was always bringing up her ex-boyfriend.
Her former retrospective jealousy had also turned into a handful of returning blades, each one stabbing into her.
- The heroine only pretends to have a secret crush, while the hero genuinely does
- Aloof man x little ray of sunshine, one-on-one romance, both virgins
- Of course, the hero won't keep bringing up other people. He only does it when he's jealous. (His possessiveness is extremely strong.)
