Nothing Left to Hide

[The End, Thank You for Reading]

A real groveling chase for his wife, with the second male lead taking the lead role

First-love journalist x devoted puppy

① Jiang Yingchu remembers meeting Chen Yuhang on the first day she moved to Yujin Street, in the summer when she was eight. He led her through the alley with no streetlights, never once looking back:

"Keep up. If you get lost, I won't come looking for you."

Jiang Yingchu followed behind him for ten whole years. She watched his back grow broader and his pace grow quicker. When he went to an internet cafe to get a junior girl's contact information, she sat in the seat closest to the door and kept watch. When he got hurt fighting for that girl, she helped him lie and cover it up.

After the college entrance exams, Jiang Yingchu decided to be brave for once. Clutching the love letter she'd spent three days carefully writing, she waited on the rooftop for two hours, only for someone to deliberately crush her hopes.

"What exactly do you think of Jiang Yingchu?"

"Nothing." Chen Yuhang smiled carelessly. "She's just a little sidekick I tease for fun."

② After one drunken, reckless night, Jiang Yingchu got engaged on her twenty-fourth birthday. She was marrying Xu Qingyi, the only son of the Xu family. The engagement banquet was grand and lively, and Chen Yuhang was so jealous he nearly went mad. He pushed open the dressing room door and caught the two of them locked in a passionate kiss.

Xu Qingyi glanced up, still wanting more, then turned and drew his wife protectively into his arms. He wiped the lipstick from the corner of his mouth with his thumb, speaking in a lazy, drawling tone:

"President Chen, do you like watching me get intimate with my wife that much?"

Later, on their wedding anniversary, Jiang Yingchu found a perfectly preserved love letter. Its first line read: [Hello, Jiang Yingchu, the crybaby from Class Seven. I'm Xu Qingyi from Class Three, and I like you.]

While you were chasing the stars,

you forgot there was a moon shining on you all along.

Theme: May you get what you wish for.
