Stellar Landing Plan

[Please don't read for now. I'll finish once I get back into the groove, ovo]

1.

To repay a life-saving debt, Lu Qiling had lived with her aunt in a small town since childhood. The Liang family brought her to Jiangbei to study, and, so she could adjust quickly, arranged for her to live with Liang Yiheng, their youngest son, who was her age.

Liang Yiheng was the school's most talked-about star. He was handsome, passionate, and carefree, and spent much of his time near the top of both the academic rankings and the disciplinary list.

They lived under the same roof, coming and going together.

Over time, a friend teased that the Liang family had chosen her as Liang Yiheng's future bride. The boy lounged lazily on the sofa and gave a cool, mocking laugh. "In your dreams."

His tone was flippant and dismissive.

After learning his attitude, Lu Qiling gave up on trying to befriend him.

But since they saw each other every day, they inevitably kept crossing paths.

In class, Liang Yiheng looked over her test papers;

At meals, Liang Yiheng swiped her meal card;

When he received love letters, Liang Yiheng asked her to deal with them.

Even when they joined an extracurricular group to help stray animals, Liang Yiheng had to butt in and put his name on her dog adoption agreement.

With all this going on, rumors about them spread far and wide.

Liang Yiheng sought Lu Qiling out himself. Before she could meet his gaze, he looked away. "I'm only taking care of you because I was told to. Don't get the wrong idea, got it?"

Lu Qiling blinked in confusion and nodded.

2.

After the college entrance exams, Lu Qiling got into a prestigious university as she had hoped, and her agreement with the Liang family came to an end. She moved out soon afterward.

Not long after Jiang University began its new term, Lu Qiling and Liang Yiheng met again after a brief separation.

With a sour look on his face, he took her textbooks and meal card from her.

Her roommate was curious about their relationship. Lu Qiling stared at him for two or three seconds, then carefully considered her answer and replied with precision that they were high school classmates.

Liang Yiheng laughed in exasperation. "Decent people don't just go around kissing their high school classmates."

"Lu Qiling, did you forget the last clause in your stupid agreement, the one saying you must never abandon me? Or are you going back on your word after taking advantage of me?"

Liang Yiheng paused, then reminded her solemnly, "The penalty for breaking the agreement is ten times the amount."

"..."

"If a dog loves you, it will love you forever."
