[The aloof Miss Moon x the cool Mr. Sun]
"You were just someone to keep me company when I was lonely."
Zou Xu remembers those words for five whole years. He resents Sheng Qing for leaving him, and resents himself even more for being unable to forget her. When he finally unravels the truth behind why she left him, he realizes that he loves Sheng Qing but has never understood her. Only after truly getting to know her does he discover that love is the least important thing in her life.
Years after their breakup, Zou Xu realizes he still can't forget Sheng Qing. After getting her back, he spoils her with a bouquet every three days and a diamond every two, and occasionally puts a little gemstone or gold in front of her, too.
His friend can't help teasing him: "I thought you'd be secretly shameless now that you've got her back. Didn't expect you to be shameless in public. Fine, keep spoiling that gold digger!"
Zou Xu holds the flowers, completely unconcerned. "I didn't have her before. Now I do. I want to spoil her."
"Sure enough, you always pine for what you can't have."
One day, Zou Xu sees Sheng Qing chatting animatedly with a younger student. The student keeps calling her "Senior Sister" with great familiarity, and Sheng Qing is so engrossed that she forgets to eat and sleep. The angrier Zou Xu gets, the more he thinks about it. At last, he says to Sheng Qing, "Senior Sister, when will you have time to pay attention to me, your backup option?"
Sheng Qing gives him a look that says he's completely lost it...
Sheng Qing discovers that Zou Xu really holds a grudge. He can remember one sentence for the rest of his life. Whenever she neglects him, he sighs into her ear, "I really was just someone to keep you company when you were lonely."
Sheng Qing: "..."
Zou Xu: You were never my only option. You were my one and only choice.
