#Defiant and unruly x sensitive, sweet girl
1. On a summer night when she was seven, rain poured down in sheets. Meng Fanxing held an umbrella over a little boy.
He sat on a bench with an injured knee, wearing worn-out cloth shoes. His clothes clung to his thin back, soaked through. He looked lonely and forlorn.
The children in the neighborhood stayed far away from him. They called him a stray dog.
Meng Fanxing was the only one who wasn't afraid of him, and she often stuck close to him.
Later, on the day they parted, it was raining just as hard. Meng Fanxing grabbed the boy's hand and sobbed, "Big Brother, don't go."
The boy's eyes looked young and unseasoned, yet full of restraint. "We'll meet again."
Several men in suits took him away in a luxury car. In the blink of an eye, it disappeared into the night.
2. When they met again, the boy who had once been as solitary as a weed had become a celebrated figure at Tianbei Private High School, carefree and wild, with a string of romantic entanglements.
Meng Fanxing knew there was an unbridgeable distance between them.
Until one day, she was invited to a classmate's grand birthday party.
Halfway through the festivities, the villa plunged into darkness, and an inconspicuous figure slipped away.
It turned out the young heiress had carefully planned a confession.
Meng Fanxing fled to the small garden and gazed at the brightly lit villa, her heart aching.
Suddenly, someone grabbed her and pulled her beneath a tree.
Si Yan stared at her reddened eyes. He pinched out the half-burned cigarette with his fingertips, leaned close, and raised an eyebrow with a mocking smile. "Hiding from me?"
The summer night was stifling and noisy, her skin damp and sticky with sweat, and her heart was in turmoil.
--You are the weakness I would give my life to protect, and the armor that makes me invincible.
