[The sister story, Sweet Peach This Summer, is now available for pre-order]
A wealthy young master from Beijing x a sweet Jiangnan girl
“Our game of running away together.”
[1]
Su Suining grew up in an old alley. Back then, she didn't have to worry about her identity as a “young lady,” not until she returned to the Su family.
At the banquet, amid clinking glasses and cheerful conversation, there were plenty of contemptuous remarks: A girl raised in the countryside is bound to lack a little refinement.
Su Suining endured it again and again, gripping her dress until the hem was crumpled, when a clear, cool voice suddenly reached her ears.
Song Shili wore a bold smile.
He blinked.
“On the count of three, come run away with me. Okay?”
They “ran away together” beneath the night sky. The moonlight was soft, and Su Suining would never forget the look in Song Shili's eyes.
He took a violin with him and said, “Don't be sad. I'll play for you.”
Everyone said Song Shili was unbearably arrogant, and only Su Suining could make him put aside his spoiled-young-master attitude.
Song Shili would always raise an eyebrow, unconcerned. “If I don't spoil my girlfriend, who will?”
[2]
What Su Suining didn't know was that on the snowy night they broke up, Song Shili had nearly lost his hearing completely.
Three years apart. The spring when they fell in love and the romantic summer they spent together had both become movies buried deep in her memories.
Su Suining thought Song Shili's ridiculous “relationship contract” after their reunion was nothing more than a way to mock her.
He must resent her for “playing with his feelings.”
A friend who didn't know their history eagerly introduced them, saying, “This is the second young master of the Song family. You two are so alike. It must be fate.”
Song Shili curled his lips, his tone indifferent. “You're imagining things. There's no fate between us.”
Then he brushed past Su Suining.
The banquet was dull, so Su Suining went to the garden for some air. Suddenly, someone took her hand.
Song Shili suppressed the panic in his eyes, but his voice trembled faintly despite his restraint.
“I thought you'd left me again.”
In a hidden corner, Song Shili pressed himself meekly against her neck. “Tell me a lie. I want to feel happy for a little while.”
Su Suining's voice caught in her throat.
“My love for you isn't a lie.”
[Bonus Scene]
Song Shili was an honest man. He never hid anything. While other people kept their relationships under wraps, he wanted to grab a megaphone and tell everyone.
A post appeared on the campus forum speculating that the two of them might be dating. A troublemaker commented: She's throwing herself at him. Everyone knows who Song Shili is.
Song Shili found out. He turned off anonymous posting, openly made a post, and asked a friend to pin it for a week.
“Let me set the record straight.”
“I'm the one throwing myself at her.”

“Over and over, I dreamed of that rainy window. In that instant, I thought we should stay tangled up together for the rest of our lives.”
[Reading Guide]
1. One-on-one romance, both leads' first love, happy ending, same age
2. Starts in college, then moves to the city. Two stubborn people fall in love.
3. Not a fake-versus-real heiress story. The heroine initially doesn't know she's a young lady.
4. Enjoy the melodrama of a wealthy family. Two lonely souls who long for love save each other.
5. The male lead's hearing issues are fictional. Please don't take them as medically accurate.
6. The romance develops slowly at first! The will-they-won't-they stage is long, so a heads-up for those who like fast-paced romance.
-The following is the upcoming story, Sweet Peach This Summer-
Scheming x quirky
Venture capitalist x cellist
[1]
After the New Year's performance, two discussions appeared on the campus forum.
[Let's praise Yu Tao's cello performance today]
[Does Lu Yanchi seem to have a girlfriend?]
No one connected the two, just as no one could imagine that a playboy like Lu Yanchi would date Yu Tao.
“Give me a title.”
That's what Lu Yanchi said when he confessed.
The cello performance had just ended.
The evening breeze was gentle, and a bright moon hung in the night sky.
Yu Tao carried her old cello on her back and saw Lu Yanchi. He wore a loose jacket, his expression cool and weary, lazily telling a passing friend that he was waiting for someone.
“Who could keep our young master Lu waiting for so long?”
Lu Yanchi raised the corner of his lips. “Someone I have to pamper.”
Yu Tao heard him, and the tips of her ears warmed.
*
Everyone said Lu Yanchi was dazzling, never short of love, and incapable of giving his heart in a relationship. Some busybodies even wondered when Lu Yanchi would dump that quiet, well-behaved girl.
They did break up soon after.
Yu Tao was the one who ended things.
[2]
A few years passed, and Yu Tao had long since stopped playing the cello.
Lu Yanchi was still the favored son of heaven, his gaze cool and distant, just as carelessly indifferent as he'd been when they broke up. “It's been a long time.”
“Ex-girlfriend.”
He used to say her name with tenderness in his voice. Now, all that remained was distance. Yu Tao thought that Lu Yanchi truly didn't love her anymore.
After discussing work with him, Yu Tao turned to leave, when she suddenly heard him speak in a self-mocking tone:
“Yu Tao.”
“I'm pathetic. I can't let you go.”

Theme: Stay happy
Pre-receipt: [1] "Sweet Peach This Summer" The Prodigal Son Returns [Crooked x eccentric, investment bank VP x ballet dancer] The dance performance ends today. The dim moon hung at night, and the lights were dim. The wind blew through Lu Yanci's broken hair. He chewed a cigarette lazily, and a ring dangled from the thin collarbone chain around his neck. He smiled wantonly, and his eyes were cold, tired and seductive. "I have a rumored girlfriend, and I've lost a lot of my love." Yu Tao pursed her lips, and the tips of her ears were dyed a little cherry red. Lu Yanci was playful and deliberately bent close to her ear. He spoke with a Beijing accent and was too lazy to say: "Yutao, you have to compensate me." Yu Tao swallowed: "What are you paying for?" Lu Yanci sighed softly and said word by word: "A title." Anyway, later on, the ring he had worn close to his body for several years was put on Yu Tao's hand. 2"But I Like" The Dog-Blooded Rich Family [The cold young master x the decadent sweet girl] Wen Shiyu was taken to Chi's house. Her name was given by Chi Suihuai. At that time, Wen Shiyu knew that as long as she stayed with Chi Suihuai, she would not be bullied again. And her duty is to absolutely protect Chi Suihuai. The summer is humid, and clumps of pink climbing roses bloom beside the window where the vines are twining. Many years later, when Wen Shiyu was taking care of the garden, the window would open, and Chi Suihuai called her: "Wen Shiyu." "Come here and give me a hug." Some people say that the young master of the Chi family is an illegitimate son, some say that he has tried every means to obtain the identity of the heir, and some say that he will be kicked out of here sooner or later. Chi Suihuai did not refute. His eyes were always empty. Wen Shiyu thought that this was the kind of person who watched fireworks with her and made braided rings with her. Her birthday wish was "Wen Shiyu, I hope everything goes well for you." 3"Morning Dream" Marriage first, love later [Proud business upstart x cool cellist] Yun Fu and Song Jingyi are engaged. After the marriage was set, Yun Fu declined the family dinner, and Song Jingyi rejected her friend application. In a way, the two were a perfect match. On the engagement night, Yun Fu and Song Jingyi talked about several things: 1. Sleep in separate rooms 2. Don't quarrel 3. Act like a loving couple On the day of the wedding dress trial, it rained suddenly. Yunfu simply waited for the rain to stop. When the shop owner asked, "Won't your fiancé come to see you?" She didn't even call Song Jingyi, who was in the building opposite. An old classmate who happened to be passing by offered to take her home. Just as Yunfu was about to agree, someone held her wrist. "You didn't even tell me when you were trying on a wedding dress." "Yunfu, haven't you pretended to be unfamiliar enough?"
