On a rainy day, Su Ningyu was soaked from head to toe, crouching under the awning of the convenience store at the intersection like a pitiful little kitten someone had abandoned.
Cheng Wang was passing by on his way home when he recognized her.
The last time he had seen her was at his good friend Xue Feng's birthday party. That day had also been their first anniversary.
Cheng Wang watched her through the curtain of rain.
Xue Feng had cheated on her, which was why she was so heartbroken.
Cheng Wang only wanted to get her out of the rain. Autumn was cold, and she could easily catch a cold. So he invited Su Ningyu into his car and took her back to his place.
He kept reminding himself that she was his good friend's girlfriend. At the very least, they hadn't broken up yet.
So that night, when Su Ningyu had a fever and was delirious, asking someone to hold her, Cheng Wang nobly refused.
But later, under her repeated teasing and seduction, he broke his principles and lowered his standards again and again, even turning against his friend for her.
Cheng Wang knew she had fooled him.
He also knew that he had willingly and clear-eyedly fallen into the trap she had laid long ago.
