*About going on a blind date and ending up with your own ex
Lately, everyone in the Peking University Class of 2016 alumni circle has been talking about the same thing.
The Chinese Department's famously icy beauty, Xu Qingran, and the Computer Science Department's aloof campus heartthrob with a devilishly handsome face, Meng Xizhuo, went on a blind date and got married!
Everyone was baffled: Weren't these two constantly at each other's throats? How did they end up going at it in bed?
When Xu Qingran first heard the gossip, she could only laugh helplessly.
Who knew that she and Meng Xizhuo were simply getting what they needed from each other? Other than putting on a show for their respective parents, they were just strangers living under the same roof.
Who could have guessed that something unexpected would happen on a damp spring midnight?
Xu Qingran, clear-headed yet swept away, came to an abrupt halt.
As he kissed her, unable to hold himself back, Xu Qingran couldn't help thinking of the past.
Back then, they had kept their relationship secret from everyone. In every dim, ambiguous corner, on dry midnights outside campus, Meng Xizhuo had held the back of her head just like this, smiling as he raised his lazy brows and shared a breath with her over a single cigarette.

Xu Qingran had no expectations for this impulsive marriage. After that night, her relationship with Meng Xizhuo grew even more distant. She thought they were bound to get divorced sooner or later.
But later, Xu Qingran stumbled upon something and finally understood: in this marriage, Meng Xizhuo had never been the one acting on a whim.
He had wanted this for eight years.
Bonus Scene:
The day Xu Qingran insisted on breaking up, spring rain fell without end. Meng Xizhuo's hair was damp at the tips. He lit a cigarette and nodded nonchalantly. "Xu Qingran, you're really something. You were just playing me, huh?"
One day after they got married, Meng Xizhuo had just stepped out of the shower. Xu Qingran turned away to avoid him, but he caught her wrist. The man beside her leaned close, bringing a wave of steamy heat with him. "Wife, please, have your way with me."
