Making Up

[Blurb]

The Gan family of the capital and the Xiao family have been bitter enemies for a hundred years. The powerful and wealthy may come and go as business dictates, but the two families have never dealt with each other.

For a certain reason, Gan Wangshu spent some time associating with Xiao Jindu under a false identity. When she was finally exposed, the thrilling moment became unforgettable for the rest of her life.

She went to Jiangnan for a vacation and fell in love with a courtyard there. She wanted to buy it, but the seller was Xiao Jindu.

As soon as Gan Wangshu heard that, she gave up.

Her friend reasoned with her: "He's busy every minute of the day and spends all year in the capital. He won't even know you bought it. You'll be dealing with the agent, so it'll be fine."

The courtyard was so tempting that Gan Wangshu eventually gave in.

But after moving in, she discovered that the neighboring courtyard still belonged to Xiao Jindu. They ran into each other at the entrance several times a day.

The night she listed the house for sale at a reduced price, a typhoon made landfall in Jiangnan, and the power was out all night.

A towering tree in the courtyard was blown down. Just as Gan Wangshu was so miserable she wanted to fly back to the capital that very night, someone came to her door through the rain.

As Xiao Jindu installed a temporary power supply, Gan Wangshu shone her phone's light for him the whole time, head bowed and saying nothing.

"Would you like my number? Call me if you need anything tonight," Xiao Jindu asked before leaving.

Gan Wangshu said she didn't need it.

Outside, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled. Xiao Jindu stayed in the entryway to take shelter from the rain.

He stayed until dawn.

"Could we... secretly make up, without telling our families?"

After a sleepless night, Gan Wangshu's head was foggy as she said this to the man beside her.

Xiao Jindu: "Sure."

[Blurb]

Yu Han transferred to high school in Singapore. While studying there, she met someone on an app. His username was Qiny, and he told her his Chinese name was "Qin Yi."

She was skeptical about online relationships, and the two of them stayed in touch on and off for a year.

Later, she happened to find out that she had to take a leave of absence for personal reasons. He tried to talk her out of it, but failed, and they had a transnational argument.

In the heat of the moment, Yu Han said that they were just online friends anyway. He didn't have to take responsibility for her life and had no right to control her.

The other person was furious too, and said he would come deal with her in person.

Yu Han laughed. The last message in their chat was her reply: "Come on, then."

About three days later, at the Marina Bay Sands plaza in Singapore, Yu Han was out shopping with her family when she caught sight of a familiar yet unfamiliar face. The young man sauntered over, and the passport he held out in front of her bore the name QIN YI.

She had only ever seen him in a group photo he'd shared from a class event. The boy in person was even more dazzling than his refined features in the photo, and he smiled at her with a knowing look.

Yu Han felt as if the whole world had exploded.

Yu Han: "Didn't you say your family was poor? Did you pick up those luxury shoes you're wearing off the street?"

Qin Yi: ...

Yu Han: "Didn't you say you'd never been to Singapore? What is the CEO of a Singapore-listed company who personally came to pick you up at the airport to you? A neighbor?"

Qin Yi: ...

Yu Han: "Didn't you say you and your grandparents were all you had, and that studying hard was your only way to change your fate? How come you have so many photos with my famous idol? And her WeChat, too?"

Qin Yi: ...
