On a night of torrential rain, Chen Qingmai was drenched to the skin.
She was soaked through and utterly miserable.
Just as she was about to be caught and dragged back, a beam of headlights appeared like a gift from heaven.
She heard a familiar voice: “Aren't you going to turn around and say hello?”
A name flashed into her mind:
Shen Xingzhang.
Chen Qingmai knew how different they were. He was a pampered young master, while she was an orphan on the run.
They had never been meant for each other.
But the wind howled that night, and the cold was bitter.
His palm was dry and warm, and she found herself longing for more.
But they still weren't meant for each other.
On the day she left, Chen Qingmai received dozens of calls.
When she answered, the person on the other end fell silent instead.
After a long pause, he gave a self-mocking laugh. “Chen Qingmai, you owe me a reason.”
Years later, they unexpectedly met again.
Chen Qingmai did everything she could to avoid him.
Shen Xingzhang treated her even more coldly, as if he hated her with all his heart.
Then, one day, an accident left them stranded in the mountains.
Weak and disoriented from hunger and exhaustion, Shen Xingzhang asked her just one thing: “Why did you leave back then?”
"You know I won't be able to help myself. I'll want to come back to your side."
