The Crane Leaves the Green Mountains

Zhang Qinghan: "Zhao He is 17 years older than me, divorced, has a bad leg, and is an old man. He's wild-tempered, bad-tempered, and vindictive, a miser like Scrooge, and full of petty tricks. I have to outwit him every day."

Her friend: "...Then why are you marrying him?"

Zhang Qinghan explained simply: "He's rich."

Zhao He's friend was outraged when he heard.

"She's young and pretty, and she's not just some gold digger after your money. You can't tell me you couldn't find another woman like her in all of Sunan! Are you blind? Why would you marry her?"

Zhao He: "I remember one dawn. The sky was still caught in a deep-blue blanket. Outside the window, I could hear the faint swish of a distant street cleaner's broom. After a night of rain, the air smelled damp and dusty. The room was very quiet. She was asleep, and I could hear only her soft breathing. The pain in my bad leg dragged me awake, pounding, violent, restless. She opened her sleepy eyes halfway and looked at me, then unconsciously rested her hand on my bad leg and gently massaged it until she slowly fell asleep."

His friend: "...So you're not just in it for the sex."

Zhang Qinghan heard this and was moved to tears.

The 28th time she heard Zhao He recite that same, rehearsed story to someone, she angrily slammed the door.

"Apart from me massaging your leg, can't you think of anything else to say? I only massaged it for three minutes before I fell asleep."

"You massaged it for one minute and fifteen seconds."

Zhang Qinghan: "..."

Coming soon: Carbonation Crisis Casebook

In early spring, Wen Zhao, who was hiding in a corner reading, witnessed Jiang Jun getting into a group fight.

He was vicious and brutal.

Afterward, the man came over and snatched her book.

"If you don't want trouble, get lost."

The next day, Wen Zhao went to Jiang Jun to get her book back.

The man narrowed his eyes and gave her an amused look for a while, then finally tossed her a hundred yuan. "Go buy another one."

Wen Zhao: "You read my book, so you owe me interest."

Jiang Jun gave a cold, mocking snort. "Let's hear it."

Wen Zhao: "You protect me."

Jiang Jun thought: What a clueless idiot.

At the end of winter, the back street of Jicheng Vocational and Technical College was bitterly cold, the wind sharp as a knife against the skin.

In the dim shadow of the thin moon, the man lowered his head.

His voice was soft, amused. "You're fierce again."

Wen Zhao rolled her eyes at him, slapped a bandage onto the space between his brows, opened a can of soda, and sat down by the stone steps.

The fizz of the carbonated water in the night wind made her blood inexplicably boil.

Jiang Jun sat down beside her, snatched the drink, and took a swig. "You really want to apply to Jiaotong University? Can you get in?"

Wen Zhao: "I can."

Jiang Jun: "What if I don't..."

Wen Zhao looked at him. There was not a trace of hesitation in her cold eyes.

"If you don't get in, we're done."

"Will you find someone at your new school to protect you?"

"Yes." Without hesitation.

He smiled faintly. "Good. Then I can relax."

His long, slender fingers crushed the can. He tossed it into a trash can in the distance. Amid the clanging impacts, Jiang Jun said:

"Fine, then we'll each rely on our own abilities."

"Wen Zhao, even if we break up, don't forget to claw your way up like a dog."
