The Aloof Campus Heartthrob Is Forced into Love

A deal forced Gu Qing to become Lu Ran's lover.

When the deal was over, Lu Ran refused to let him go, and Gu Qing refused to submit.

-

After Gu Qing finally managed to escape by every means possible, Lu Ran no longer dared show his face in front of him.

-

The brilliant, refined genius painter now lived in this remote backwater, where his meager wages barely bought him a proper meal.

Lu Ran had once treated him like a plaything and done whatever he pleased. He never imagined he could ruin Gu Qing's life so badly.

-

When Lu Ran saw the over-the-top frog-themed children's watch on Gu Qing's wrist, he envied children who could express their love so freely.

But when he saw the cruel pink scars crisscrossing Gu Qing's pale wrist, and those vacant eyes set in his beautiful face, Gu Qing as fragile and easily shattered as glass, Lu Ran's heart twisted in agony. He wished he could tear himself to pieces.

-

Lu Ran carefully drove back and forth every day, afraid of being discovered.

Private planes couldn't even reach this remote backwater. The long drives left him exhausted, but he was happy to endure them.

-

But when he heard that Gu Qing had found out he was there too and was rushing to move away,

Lu Ran's eyes turned bloodshot. Tears trickled from their corners as he knelt and begged humbly: I promise I'll never come back. Can you please not move away?

Gu Qing refused with unwavering firmness: No.

As if answering the question Lu Ran had never dared ask, nor dared hope to hear answered: Can you forgive me?
