[Male Lead Takes His Place / Childhood Friends / Scumbag's Redemption]
[Weibo: @Jin Xianxian]
She never expected to run into her childhood friend, the boy she'd grown up with and hadn't seen in five years, at her boyfriend's birthday party.
Glasses clinked amid extravagant indulgence.
The man casually held a cigarette between his fingers, his gaze aloof and cold, his expression so arrogant he looked like a rebellious wolf in the crowd.
A born winner, forever surrounded by the most enthusiastic admirers.
All night long.
They didn't exchange a single word. They met as strangers.
-
Later, after breaking up with her scumbag boyfriend, she ran into him again. She never expected him to be the one to stand up for her.
They were arguing, and her ex let loose with, "When we break up, you'll find you can't do anything without me!"
When she was at her most mortified, the man wrapped an arm around her waist and, in front of everyone, asked with an easy, mocking smile, "Come with me?"
"Then you'll have everything."
-
Even their friends thought he'd only done it to defend her. No one took their relationship seriously.
Later, her ex tried every way he could to get back together with her, only to turn deathly pale when he spotted the two of them kissing passionately in a secluded corner, where no one else could see them.
The most rebellious and aloof young master held her tightly in his arms as if she were his most precious treasure, whispering again and again:
"A Li, A Li..."
"You can only be mine."
"Through every year, every day, and every moment together, I still love you to the bone."
