[A niche trope I'm writing for myself, QwQ. I'll start once this reaches 300 favorites, so please bookmark it!]
Chu Rong is striking and poised, with a proud, haughty personality. She's best at getting her way through sheer beauty. As the only daughter of the Chu family, she's never wanted for anything, and her favorite pastime is dating.
Date them, then break up.
Every relationship has one thing in common: none lasts longer than a month.
1.
Qingcheng, winter.
At the time, Chu Rong's boyfriend of nearly a month was driving her crazy. A friend couldn't stand it anymore and insisted on dragging her to a class reunion, hoping to gather their old high school classmates for a good time and cheer Chu Rong up.
The party was in full swing when the half-closed private-room door swung open from outside. A gust of cold air swept in, and everyone singing and chugging drinks fell silent.
"Sorry, I had a meeting come up at the last minute. I'm late." A calm, steady voice rang out, slightly husky and rich, with the warm texture of cello strings sounding alone in a vast concert hall.
Chu Rong, listlessly playing with her glass, was inexplicably drawn to it. She looked up.
Drawing on her extensive experience in judging people, she estimated that her high school classmate was 186 centimeters tall, with a 108-centimeter chest. His thin double eyelids were hidden behind gold-rimmed glasses, giving him an indescribably cool air.
The expensive, custom-tailored suit fitted him perfectly, its excellent fabric and crisp cut tracing his flawless figure. Broad shoulders, a narrow waist, shapely backside, long legs: he hit every point in her exacting taste.
Chu Rong's eyes met his by chance. It was love at first sight. She bet her friend she could win him over in a week.
Her friend was speechless. "Do you even remember who he is?"
Chu Rong: "?"
Her friend scoffed. "Wen Jin, the top student in our grade and class monitor. He worked up the courage to confess to you, and you rejected him outright. You didn't spare his feelings at all. You just said you weren't into scrawny guys."
2.
One week later.
A photo accidentally snapped by a passerby climbed to the top of major media sites, and the discussion around it kept growing.
Wen Jin, the Minghu Real Estate boss who was famously uninterested in women, was kneeling meekly in front of the passenger seat. Dust stained his black suit, and his broad, long-fingered hand was holding a pale, delicate foot, apparently massaging it.
The photo showed only half of Wen Jin's profile and the slender ankle of a woman. With the filter, the atmosphere was thick with ambiguity.
After seeing the photo, her friend hurriedly messaged Chu Rong: Got him? How long will this one last?
Chu Rong snuggled lazily into Wen Jin's warm embrace and typed back calmly: Same as always, one month~
3.
Later, Wen Jin became the first man in Chu Rong's dating history to last longer than a month.
The night she met up with an ex-boyfriend, Chu Rong fell asleep nestled against Wen Jin's chest. Even half-asleep, she could feel the arm around her waist and his warm breath over her head.
The man, usually mature, composed, and unreadable, showed a rare hint of vulnerability. His voice was humble: "Rongrong, my chest is the prettiest. Don't look at other men..."
