- Blurb -
Cheng Lu never expected her speed-dating match at a matchmaking event in the business park to be Lin Xinyan.
She still remembered the flutter of young love, and how he had pushed her away.
"I don't date people if there's no future for us." The boy's lips had curled in that same defiant smile as always...
Now that they had met again, the man across from her was nothing more than a temporary speed-dating match who seemed like a good fit.
As the event drew to a close, Cheng Lu lowered her gaze to Mr. Lin's shoes, waiting for him to take a step back and end their match.
But he moved closer, opened his arms, and asked gently, "Can I give you a hug?"
Cheng Lu accepted his embrace and held his hand amid everyone's well wishes. Once they were outside, she slipped her hand free and smiled politely. "Thank you for going along with it. But there's already someone I like."

A trip back to her hometown ended with Cheng Lu and Lin Xinyan getting married.
They ate and lived together, and rode the elevator to and from work together.
They worked on the same floor. She was an ordinary office worker, while he was the owner of the company across the hall, a rising star in tech.
Cheng Lu thought she and Lin Xinyan were married in name only, helping each other out for a little while, with nothing between them beyond friendship.
One day, Cheng Lu happened to overhear voices in the hallway.
"How did you come back from a two-day business trip married? Chairman Zhang's daughter even invited you to a gala!"
"I'm just dealing with my family's nagging about marriage. Tell them I'll be at the gala on time."
Only then did she realize that the gap between them in their youth, once like a chasm, had since become an abyss.
Later, office gossip made its way to the company across the hall.
The usually mild-mannered man lost all composure and rushed into her office, frantic with worry. "Where's my wife?"

Later, Cheng Lu sorted through her old things.
Inside the lucky charm he had returned to her all those years ago, she found a paper crane. On it was a line she'd written in the third year after he had vanished without a trace:
[The southern city has the sea and the wind. I don't need your embrace anymore.]
She crossed out the last sentence and replaced it with: [I'm so glad to have you by my side.]
-The embrace meant for her finally led her out of the wasteland.
※ An ordinary office worker X a rising star in IT. Reunion to whirlwind marriage.
※ Married first, love later / A longtime crush finally comes true. One-on-one romance, happy ending.
※ Everyday urban life, a touch of healing. (Set in a fictional southern city, with no real-life inspiration.)
#A whirlwind marriage with the first love that never worked out
#The person I once had a crush on moved in across the hall, and now we're married
Theme: Becoming better people together.
Thanks for the limited fee. Maybe it's too long at the beginning. I feel that the heroine is very conflicted and internally dissatisfied. I don't like it, and the transition in the back is a bit hasty and unnatural. I still don't understand why the hero refused when the heroine confessed her love. Was it because the hero refused because of family matters? Looking a little confused
Even if the female protagonist has no mouth, the male protagonist also has no mouth. It made me feel depressed.
Thank you for the exemption. The heroine's cowardice in the previous chapter is very popular. The ending of the last chapter is sweet. The male protagonist's good intentions are hidden and coy, which only makes people feel that they are deliberate. It can be said that they took advantage of the heroine's crisis to forcefully obtain the certificate. Only novels have such good endings. In real life, girls should not be deceived.
Emma, I haven't seen such pure love in a long time. . . It made me sweat a little bit.
Thanks for the limited exemption~ So why didn't we get together after graduation?
So why did the male protagonist reject the female protagonist after graduation?
There has been no update for almost a month. Don't give up.
In fact, now that I see it, I can't even look at the role of Cheng Lu in a relaxed mood. She has faced too many things, including her mother's "oppression" and such things in the workplace. These have affected Cheng Lu for too long. Suddenly Lin Xinyan appeared again, and the warm orange fragrance enveloped the traumatized Cheng Lu. Several times when I saw Cheng Lu's weak and forbearing look, I felt a little resentful and wanted her to resist quickly. But suddenly I remembered that Cheng Lu was the real person who would react in real life. I hope Lulu can "stand up" later! Fight against the life you don't want!!!
When will the author update?
