The first time Liang Yu saw Chen Xu, she got a terrible impression of him. Absolutely terrible.
In her senior year of high school, Liang Yu couldn't take the college entrance exam in Beicheng, so she had to return to her registered hometown to study.
As soon as she arrived in Qingpu, she saw Chen Xu stealing someone's wallet at the train station. When she saw him run, she instinctively shouted, "Someone's stealing!"
The station was bustling, but in that instant, everyone's attention turned to the direction Liang Yu was pointing.
Chen Xu, however, made a clean getaway.
Before leaving, he ran up and slammed his shoulder into Liang Yu's. Lowering his head, he threatened her in a vicious whisper: "Don't let me catch you again, or I'll make your life hell."
His hot, damp breath brushed Liang Yu's neck. For an instant, she felt as if a venomous snake, flicking its tongue, had wrapped itself around her.

When they met again, Chen Xu walked onto the basketball court surrounded by a crowd.
He played hard and aggressively, his eyes wild and his whole bearing warning people not to mess with him.
The girls nearby watched him and screamed themselves hoarse. One of them kept telling Liang Yu all about him:
One: Chen Xu grew up without a mother or father, like a stray dog, causing trouble all over town. He's got a terrible personality, so don't mess with him.
Two: He's really good at basketball.
Three: Lots of girls like him.
Four: He...
She was halfway through her rundown when a basketball came spinning at high speed and slammed into Liang Yu's head with a thud.
Dazed and seeing stars, Liang Yu clutched her forehead and looked at the culprit. He leaped behind her, picked up the ball, and glared viciously at her. "Liang Yu, are you trying to die?"

Years later, the puppy had grown into a wolfdog, but he loved her with all his heart.
Holding her in his arms, he kept murmuring in her ear: "Liang Yu, you don't love me anymore."
"Liang Yu, I'll die if you don't love me."
"Liang Yu, I can't live without you."
