In high school, He Siping had three wishes.
To get into a good university, and leave this small town.
And to keep her friend far away from Gu Mingye, that good-for-nothing.
*
Everyone knew Gu Mingye was beyond saving.
He dropped out before finishing high school, never applied himself, and was the kind of hoodlum adults complained about.
In the school's back alley one hot afternoon, the sunlight was as fierce as boiling water.
He Siping told her friend to go on ahead. Left alone, she was cornered by a group of mean girls. She shut her eyes, but the pain she expected never came.
A hand landed on her head. He Siping instinctively bit down hard. After a long moment, she heard a soft laugh.
"Why are you like a little puppy?"
She opened her eyes and saw Gu Mingye crouching in front of her, with the mean girls fleeing in panic behind him.
Blood trickled down his long, pale wrist, but he casually said, "Little girl, ask me nicely, and I promise no one will dare bully you again."
"What if I say no?"
He gripped her chin and leaned close.
"Then I'll be the one who bullies you."
He Siping thought Gu Mingye was exactly what she'd always imagined: a good-for-nothing.
*
Much later.
Gu Mingye kissed the bite mark on her wrist and prompted her to say, "If you don't want me messing with your well-behaved friend, then you do it."
She drew a deep breath, then lunged at him with bright, fierce eyes. "Fine, I'll do it."
He leaned casually against his motorcycle, worth a million yuan, and wrapped his arms around her, holding her tight.
His embrace carried a hint of tobacco, cold and intense, spreading over her until it consumed her.
"Siping," he said. "You can't escape now."
He was handsome, arrogant, and utterly untouchable.
Even mired in the mud, he swaggered like a king about to be crowned.
And she willingly fed herself to the tiger, ready to be the cocoon that bound him.
