In an interview, a reporter asked Fang Yueming, "Do you still remember your first love?"

Fang Yueming gazed into the distance and said, "If I could go back in time, I would never let her slip away. She was a truly wonderful person."

The reporter laughed. "Wow, she must be an incredible person for you to remember her so fondly."

No one knew that he was the one who hadn't been good enough. If he could do it all over again, Fang Yueming would hold on to her hand with all his might.

The reporter asked, "How is she doing now?"

Fang Yueming couldn't hide his bitterness. "I suppose she's married."

He was just so timid, he couldn't even say it with certainty.

Later, during a television audition, Fang Yueming spotted her again in the crowd. She was still as radiant as ever, serene yet full of strength, impossible to look away from.

He knew she was married, yet couldn't stop himself from getting closer to her, again and again.

When he finally stood before her again, Fang Yueming begged her to give him a chance to pursue her.

But she replied coldly, "Mr. Fang, we broke up eight years ago."

[A breakup is like a sudden downpour: you can see it coming, yet it still catches you off guard!]

Beauty in Bed: Winning in the 1970s

Bai Wei was the beauty of the surrounding villages, and she truly was beautiful, with skin like jade and eyes like autumn waters. In the 1970s, when people worked from dawn to dusk in the fields, she was like a proud white swan.

But she was genuinely sickly, too. She could barely take a few steps without running out of breath, and her frail body looked as though a gust of wind might carry her away. In an era when women were expected to be sturdy and healthy enough to bear children, she seemed out of place. The most renowned local doctor even claimed she wouldn't live to see the end of the year.

So although everyone in Lijia Village envied her, they couldn't help feeling sorry for her. At twenty, no one had shown an interest in marrying her.

It was then that another Bai Wei arrived, sharing her name. At a glance, she realized her new frail body would spare her the hardship of farming.

A group of educated youths from the big cities had recently arrived in Lijia Village, each one more handsome than the last. Word spread that they were all from the cities, and people from all the surrounding villages came to take a look.

The most popular of them was Jiang Jinbai. Tall and long-legged, with broad shoulders, a slim waist, sharp brows, and bright eyes, he looked like a movie star. Everyone was determined to win his favor.

Bai Wei looked at the man strutting around like a peacock with disdain in her eyes. She disliked him for relying on his good looks to toy with people's feelings.

Although Jiang Jinbai had come to the countryside to work the fields, he couldn't hide his natural elegance. The educated youths and villagers joked that he was Lijia Village's prize flower. Jiang Jinbai smiled without replying.

Someone once teased him, "Girls from hundreds of miles around have come by. Haven't you found anyone you like?"

Jiang Jinbai rolled a clod of dirt between his fingers and said, "There is someone."

Everyone tried to guess which beauty had captured Jiang Jinbai's heart, not knowing that he'd already been rejected.

She looked so frail and delicate, but her words were merciless. "I don't like you. Stop wasting your time on me. Even if every other man in the world were dead, I still wouldn't marry you."
