After graduating, Qin Meixi gradually made a name for herself serializing novels online. To coordinate with the recording of an audio drama, she got to meet Lion, the voice actor she'd liked for a long time.

He had a pair of captivating, flirtatious eyes, yet seemed distant.

On closer inspection, she realized he seemed to have been her university classmate.

She learned from a friend that, although he was handsome and rich, and unbelievably arrogant, he also seemed to be a playboy.

At a party, someone asked who her favorite voice actor was. To avoid an awkward situation, she went against her heart and named someone else.

Later, that person was exposed... He'd been dating six people at once, a master of time management.

Contempt filled Gu Lin's eyes as he asked casually, "Want to consider becoming my fan?"

Qin Meixi's thoughts were a mess, but she still forced herself to look composed and smile. "There's no rush. Let's take it slow."

-

Gu Lin thought Qin Meixi wasn't interested in him, but he still couldn't give up. He constantly tried to make his presence felt, hoping to win her heart with his charm, but the more he tried, the farther she ran.

With no other options, he changed tactics and, with help from his mischievous friend, gradually worked his way closer to her. Fortunately, after a while, the first signs of love really did appear between them.

Just as the time seemed right, Gu Lin planned to release a new song to subtly express his feelings. But he didn't expect it to spark speculation about his love life.

All at once, absurd rumors sprang up: "Begging his ex-wife to get back together," "His child is already three," and "He's pursuing a real estate heiress."

Gu Lin hadn't cared about such things before, but now that he was in his mating season, he cared very much about his own clean reputation. So when the topic came up at a gathering with friends, he told Qin Meixi very seriously, "Those rumors are all false."

"I'm completely clean."

[Bonus Scene]

On the night Gu Lin confessed, he got so drunk he passed out before he could hear her answer.

Qin Meixi took him home and looked after him carefully. When he woke up the next morning, he found Gu Lin lying beside her, staring straight at her.

Stammering, she tried to shift the blame. "You were the one who wouldn't let me leave."

Gu Lin thought it over carefully, then asked lazily, "Did you steal a kiss from me?"

Qin Meixi said guiltily, "I don't think so..."

As soon as the words left her mouth, Gu Lin kissed her. This time it wasn't a fleeting touch; it was full of desire.

A long while later, Qin Meixi leaned limply against him and said, "I'm tired."

"Mm. We'll go again in a bit."

Actually, I've already liked you for a very, very long time.

That was Gu Lin's secret. Nobody knew.

There's a line in Gu Lin's song, Aftermath of Losing My Voice:

Time fell silent in the past, but now I miss you

This is my aftereffect, yet it isn't in your memories

Escape the Night

|Saving Each Other|Second Chance Romance|Small Town + Wealthy Family|

On a winter street, heavy snow fell. Reeking of alcohol, Meng Xian'an had temporarily escaped her life of luxury and excess.

Perhaps because of the weather, the whole street seemed deserted. Dizzy and unsure where she was going, she turned a corner and bumped into an "unknown object."

Meng Xian'an staggered back two steps and tried to open her eyes wider. A young man was crouched in the corner, looking up at her.

His eyes were red-rimmed. He wore a thin black coat, snow resting on his shoulders. He looked achingly fragile.

Meng Xian'an was haughty and headstrong, but she fell for him at first sight. Crouching down, she gave him a playful look. "Want your big sister to take you in?"

-

Meng Xian'an owned a flower shop, but business was so poor she could barely make ends meet. After Luo Qisheng arrived, young women started lining up to buy flowers every day, nearly breaking down the door.

Leaning lazily against the wall, she couldn't help teasing him. "That face of yours sure comes in handy."

Luo Qisheng was carrying a bouquet of roses. He was slender, but the definition in his arms was clear. Looking at Meng Xian'an, he smiled charmingly. "As long as it comes in handy with you, big sister."

The two were inseparable, just like a loving young couple.

But not long afterward, a notice announcing the flower shop's closure was posted at the entrance, and Meng Xian'an disappeared without a trace.

That day, Luo Qisheng sat helplessly in front of the shop and got rained on all night.

-

In Luo Qisheng's study, a portrait was kept as a treasured possession. In a snowy night under a dark sky, a woman smiled radiantly, bright and beautiful.

He looked at it every day, keeping her in his heart.

Years later, they met again at a banquet. He attended as the eldest son of the Luo family, while she had become the unwelcome Miss Meng.

Meng Xian'an had put up her long hair, revealing her slender neck. Under the lights, she was like a proud swan, impossible to look away from. But now she had a marriage-alliance partner by her side.

At that moment, Luo Qisheng was jealous, but he kept a gentlemanly expression as he handed her a glass of wine. "Looks like Miss Luo got herself a good price."

Meng Xian'an smiled faintly, rose onto her toes, and whispered softly in his ear, "Mr. Luo could make a good offer and take me home, too."

/The night is a vast net. Then let's escape from here./
