★ New guy vs. childhood friend
★ Sweet romance / Happy ending / Everyday fluff
If a relationship is doomed to go nowhere, you should let it go.
Chen Shi was the abyss she clung to, hoping to ease her thirst with poison.
After finally understanding all his indulgence and silence, Lin Zhizhi calmly got spectacularly drunk and decided to leave this relationship behind for good.
The trouble was
She seemed to have gone about it the wrong way.
After sobering up, Lin Zhizhi opened her eyes wide and stared at the handsome, sharp-featured man before her. She wanted to simply faint and be done with it.
Qin Zhe Bai lifted his eyes, calm and casual. He even sounded polite. "What, you want to sleep with me and then pretend it never happened?"
"..." Lin Zhizhi steeled herself. "W-why would I?"
The one who said, "Why would I?"
The next day, she left the country without a word, never to be heard from again.

Back in Tong'an City once more.
The light on the terrace was dim, the hubbub inside shut out by the shadows.
As their breaths mingled, Lin Zhizhi tugged at Qin Zhe Bai's collar, pressed a finger to the beauty mark at the corner of his eye, and murmured something indistinct.
Qin Zhe Bai abruptly stopped. His dark lashes lifted as he asked softly, "Lin Zhizhi, who do you think I am?"
Before she could answer, he covered her eyes with his hand. Without waiting for a reply, he gave a faint, mocking smile.
"Forget it. I don't mind being a substitute."
"I don't care."

An old acquaintance reappears at a classmate's wedding banquet.
Their eyes met across the crowd for a moment. Chen Shi ignored his companion and walked over. "Zhizhi, "
Lin Zhizhi stepped back half a pace and proactively took the arm of the person beside her. She tilted her head and gave a faint smile. "Chen Shi, this is over."
The air fell silent for a moment.
Qin Zhe Bai's peach-blossom eyes curved, but the smile never reached them. He watched the man walk away with cool indifference. "Lin Zhizhi, am I just a tool to you?"
"Are you jealous?" Lin Zhizhi held back a laugh as she made her feelings clear. "I told you, once I stop loving someone, I stop loving them. Even if he died, it would have nothing to do with me."
★ In the vast, mist-covered wilderness, he looked up and saw the moon hanging high above.
