After being cheated on, Jiang Duojiao was consumed by grief.
Unwilling to let herself drown in pain, she took her ID card to the courthouse and sat in on all kinds of cases, hoping to clear her head and eyes.
By chance, she ran into her middle school classmate, Fu Jinzhao, someone everyone talked up as a remarkable figure.
Maybe it was her tendency to admire the strong, but after all these years, Jiang Duojiao found herself really looking at him for the first time, noticing his calm composure.
Some time later, the stone-faced Fu Jinzhao showed up at Jiang Duojiao's door with a little boy.
"He's bad at history. Could you help tutor him?"
"How old is he? He's in elementary school, right?"
"Fourth grade, I think."
Jiang Duojiao asked in confusion, "Do elementary school students study history where you live?"
Fu Jinzhao adjusted his tie and answered awkwardly, "Yeah."
"Where's his textbook? I can tutor him for free."
"Sorry, I forgot he transferred schools. They don't study history in elementary school."
The elementary schooler Fu Jinzhao had brought along looked baffled. Was the chief justice really trying to make himself look stupid on purpose?!
After closing the door, Jiang Duojiao earnestly searched Baidu for elementary schools that taught history as a dedicated subject. She'd been working for years and had never heard of one.

Jiang Duojiao realized she'd been seeing Fu Jinzhao rather often lately.
A name that had existed only in other people's conversations was becoming clearer and clearer in her mind. Fu Jinzhao was no longer just a name, but a person.
After Jiang Duojiao got drunk one time, Fu Jinzhao lost control and placed a hand on her waist. The moment he touched her, he quickly pulled it away.
Just like his love, it couldn't be seen in the light of day. It was something that could lead to a mistake.
