[Shocking! The top-tier star everyone adores is the snot-nosed kid who used to follow me around!]
Li Haijing had been having one piece of bad luck after another lately:
Her boyfriend had found someone new and couldn't wait to break up with her;
Her father was sick in the hospital and kept urging her to visit and do her filial duty;
The market was slumping, and her company was sharpening its knives, ready to sacrifice her to save itself...
Her life was already a mess, but she absolutely couldn't lose her job! To keep it, she went after an endorsement deal with a certain celebrity the company had been trying and failing to sign. As expected, she was turned away. Just as she was leaving in a panic, looking like a stray dog, she heard a voice that was both familiar and strange: "Brother Xiaohai?"
She couldn't believe it. Turning around, she looked at the dazzling top-tier star before her and asked hesitantly, "Xiaoyu?"
There wasn't a trace of the boy she remembered in that handsome face, but he smiled and said, "It's me. Long time no see."
As a child, Li Haijing was a wild tomboy who did whatever she pleased. She took the kid next door and spent every day chasing cats and dogs, chickens and geese around the village. So many people came to complain that they'd practically worn down the threshold of her grandmother's house. Because of the way she acted, Xiao Yu always thought she was a boy and called her "Brother Xiaohai" from childhood. By the time he grew up and understood the truth, he couldn't change the habit.
