"Jiang Shiyang, you don't actually like Cheng Mian, do you?"

Eight-year-old Jiang Shiyang heard his friend's question. He held his breath, his mind went blank, and he reflexively denied it. "What are you talking about? How could I like Cheng Mian!"

After saying that, he guiltily turned his head and saw Cheng Mian standing not far away.

She'd heard their conversation, and she'd heard him deny it. Though heartbroken, she still forced herself to smile.

That smile pierced Jiang Shiyang's heart every moment.

Later, Cheng Mian ran away. She ran so fast he couldn't catch up.

"Jiang Shiyang, do you like Cheng Mian?"

At seventeen, when Jiang Shiyang heard the question from a classmate again, he didn't hesitate this time. He boldly confessed his feelings.

"I like Cheng Mian. I've liked her for a long time."

But Cheng Mian still ran away without hesitation. Luckily, this time he caught up with her.

*

"Jiang Shiyang, do you really like Cheng Mian?"

At twenty-five, Jiang Shiyang heard his friend's question and only lowered his head, giving a soft laugh.

"I'm trouble. I'm not good enough for her."

*

At a family gathering on New Year's Eve, his aunt and uncle surrounded Cheng Mian, introducing one potential partner after another.

Unable to turn them down, Cheng Mian took out her phone, ready to agree to add someone as a friend.

After staying silent for a long time, Jiang Shiyang realized she was wavering.

Claiming that his last relationship had broken his heart and that he'd sworn off love, Jiang Shiyang immediately stood up to shield her from the "attack." He spoke to his uncle, but kept his eyes on Cheng Mian.

He asked casually, "How come Uncle Wen hasn't tried to find me a partner?"

When Ren Bei first arrived at Sixth Middle School, he was arrogant and full of himself. Everyone called him Ren the Cocky.

Mo Nan thought of him just like everyone else did: conceited, and not someone she wanted to talk to much.

Until one late night, she accidentally spotted Ren Bei hiding under a bridge, head tipped back as he sobbed uncontrollably, the sound of the rain concealing his cries.

When he noticed Mo Nan, he immediately fell silent, turned around, and glared at her. His voice was icy as he warned her, "Don't tell anyone!"

He tried to sound threatening, but looking at his red eyes, Mo Nan didn't feel threatened at all. She replied coolly, "I will."

After that, Ren Bei got a new nickname: Ren the Crybaby.

When Ren Bei first arrived in Lingchuan, he looked down on the remote little county town and didn't want to associate with the people there. When Mo Nan tentatively invited him to go out with her, he rejected her without hesitation.

But less than half a month later, when he heard Mo Nan was going out, he shamelessly tagged along. He had no ulterior motive; he simply enjoyed spending time with her.

Once, taking advantage of the confusion brought on by his illness, Ren Bei grabbed Mo Nan's hand. With tears in his eyes, he called her name and asked plaintively, "Mo Gourd, someone like me, am I not good enough for you?"

Proud, prickly crybaby Bei x carefree, cool, and sassy Nan
