Liang Lu was fifteen when she first met Lu Yuchen.

Liang Lu struggled, her cheeks turning red. "We have no grudge between us, and there's no romantic history to speak of. Why would I avoid you?"

Lu Yuchen's grip slowly tightened, his expression playful. "Is that so? Then what about the notebook under the bed?"

When she was seventeen, she left in a hurry, accidentally dropping beneath the bed the notebook in which she had recorded all the secrets of her heart...
