Through the Dark Window

Lin Daiyu of the women's clothing shop vs. the Wolf of the Commercial Street

A little healing / happy ending / a story about climbing up from the bottom

A new women's clothing shop opened on Commercial Street. It wasn't very big, and the owner was a pretty young woman with a fresh, lovely look.

Three months after opening, both men and women were flocking inside.

Anyone stepping out of the internet cafe across the street for a smoke could see the steady stream of customers at the entrance.

Jiang Chi was one of those people who came out to smoke.

On a sweltering summer day, smoke billowed before his eyes. He peered through the beaded curtain at a pair of pale arms, barely visible inside, and curled his lip in disdain.

Later, he became a regular at that internet cafe.

Xu Yin had a great eye for putting outfits together. As soon as her shop opened, it became the busiest one on Commercial Street.

But success attracts envy. Just three months after opening, her competitors were jealous enough to smash up her shop.

That day, with her face burning from the beating, she stared blankly at the broken glass scattered everywhere and sobbed quietly all night.

The next day, she shut up shop and planned to move to another alley to make a living.

But the people who had stormed in to wreck her shop the day before came back sheepishly with gifts to apologize.

The brazen, unruly young man stared at her like a wolf. "This is compensation."

Xu Yin looked baffled. Compensation for what?

For secretly kissing you.

At first,

Jiang Chi wanted to be the big shot of Commercial Street.

Later,

he wanted to take that sickly girl and get out of there.
