Expired Dream

[Next up: Typhoon Night] [Weibo: Mu Zi Shang Shu i]

Yu Suisui had encountered Chen Si more than once.

When they first met, he was a wild playboy. He changed girlfriends one after another, yet countless girls still threw themselves at him.

Later, he became a rebellious rule-breaker, unbound by anything, doing whatever he pleased. He skipped class, got into fights, and more.

But the events of that time were unforgettable.

In a dimly lit bar, she sat in a shadowed corner where no one would notice her. Her gaze happened to fall on the mature men and women from that crowd.

Chen Si sat at the bar alone, slouched and playing on his phone. His careless demeanor drew everyone's eye.

By coincidence, his ex-girlfriend, the school belle, confronted him. The tension was about to snap. She asked tearfully, "Then what did all our memories mean?"

The beautiful girl was crying like a rain-soaked flower, so pitiful that even Yu Suisui couldn't bear to watch.

But the scumbag didn't so much as blink. "It means you have a good memory."

When Yu Suisui got home that night, she received a text from him: [Had enough to watch today? You could always pick up where she left off.]

-

After the two legends of Qingchuan got together, people told it as a romantic story. But rumors of their breakup soon spread, and everyone said Yu Suisui was the one who dumped Chen Si.

When they met again, Yu Suisui brought her boyfriend to a class reunion, and everyone wondered how Chen Si would react.

To their surprise, he sat there perfectly steady, utterly unbothered. A carefree smile curled his lips, and his roguish air was completely unlike her new boyfriend's.

Yu Suisui slowly looked away, a chill in her heart. Sure enough, he didn't have any feelings for her anymore.

After the reunion, in an unnoticed alley, the pure-looking beauty was pinned against a car door by a tall figure and kissed without pause.

Chen Si stared hard at Yu Suisui's stunning face and spoke with a laugh, each word drawn out slowly. "How about I pick up where we left off this time? I'll be your side piece."

(Heroine's perspective)

That summer after the college entrance exams was stiflingly hot, cicadas buzzing nonstop, and the fiery clouds at dusk hung so low they seemed ready to crush the earth.

Shi Xia got out of a taxi and headed straight for the tattoo shop at the far end of Shuyu Alley. When she was five meters away, the double doors swung open from the inside, and a tall figure stepped out.

It was Qi Yubai, the model student who always topped the honor roll and came first in every exam.

She froze for a moment, then smiled, her tone teasing. "A model student getting a tattoo?"

Qi Yubai glanced at her and walked away without changing expression.

When everything was over, Shi Xia walked out of the tattoo shop.

The summer night was hazy, and a scorching wind swept by.

The aloof, world-weary boy leaned against the wall with a cigarette between his fingers. At the sound, he turned his head and spoke hoarsely. "Weren't you curious where my tattoo is?"

Shi Xia walked over, her gaze bold and direct. "Where?"

Qi Yubai narrowed his eyes and tapped his lower abdomen with a fingertip. "Here. Come home with me and see, if you dare."

Shi Xia took the cigarette from his lips, put it between her red lips, blew a smoke ring at him, and smiled like a shameless flirt. "What's there to be afraid of?"

(Male lead's perspective)

Qi Yubai was every teacher's favorite, the top student in his classmates' eyes, and the undisputed school heartthrob to everyone who pursued him.

Everyone knew he was cold and indifferent, with no interest whatsoever in romance.

But in reality, that summer after graduating from senior year,

he secretly got together with Shi Xia, gladly becoming her dog and letting her train him.

"In these days of wild pleasure and feverish revelry, I'll kiss you until the winter snow turns warm."
