On the day Wei Mengzhi broke up with her rich second-generation boyfriend, she got dead drunk with her best friend at a nightclub. When she woke up the next morning, there was a man in her bed.
The good news: He was unbelievably handsome.
The bad news: He was her best friend's little brother, the one she'd watched grow up.
If you asked how she felt at that moment, she'd say her stellar reputation had just been ruined, and she could never face her best friend again.
Clinging to a glimmer of hope, she asked, "We didn't actually... do anything last night, did we?"
"We did," Liu Yang answered honestly. "Last night, you said you had to find a man a hundred times more handsome than Qin Yuan, just to make him furious."
"So you just...?"
Liu Yang nodded solemnly. "You made the first move... We've known each other for so many years, so I couldn't very well refuse."
"Are you even human?!" Wei Mengzhi hurled a pillow at him. "You little brat, what do you think you're doing?! I made the first move? Don't pretend! I was drunk, but were you drunk too?"
Unlike her total meltdown, Liu Yang was perfectly calm.
After a moment of silence, he got up, got dressed, washed up, and headed for the door.
Wei Mengzhi suddenly had a bad feeling.
"Where are you going?"
"To tell my sister," he said with a wide grin, showing a mouthful of gleaming white teeth. "That you seduced me and then dumped me."
Going to tattle to his family? What kind of move was that? Could young men these days show a little honor?
"Hey! Liu Er!" Wei Mengzhi's heart tightened. Wrapped in the quilt, she jumped out of bed. "Don't do that. Let's talk this out!"
What's it like when your older sister's best friend is a gorgeous woman? Liu Yang was probably the best person to answer that question.
The first time he met her, he was five and she was twelve. He didn't yet know what love was, but she was already famous at school, the girl every boy wanted to impress.
When he was thirteen, she taught him how to skateboard, guiding his hands every step of the way. Her radiant face wore a carefree smile, and for the first time, he learned what it meant to secretly fall for someone. From then on, he fell in love with outdoor sports.
At eighteen, he thought he was finally old enough to pursue her. But she chose to date a pretentious rich second-generation heir. For him, she reined in her headstrong nature, stopped going out so much, stopped skateboarding... and even lost her confidence.
When he was twenty, she got drunk after the breakup. His sister called and asked him to take Wei Mengzhi home. With her alluring red lips and bleary eyes, she put an arm around him and said, "Liu Er, when did you get so handsome?"
His heart pounded like a drum as he leaned in and kissed her.
This time, he would hold on to her tight.
