A scheming, possessive bad girl vs. her wooden childhood friend and ex-girlfriend

&

A sunshine-like, popular girl on the surface, but tangled up inside and longing to be loved

A story of her, her, and her making one mistake after another, never learning their lesson.

How many years of companionship does it take to be childhood sweethearts?

Su Ting and Chi Gui grew up together, yet neither can fully understand the other.

They made their relationship official right after graduating from high school.

But what had seemed only natural fell apart once they went to college.

For reasons unknown, Su Ting kept their relationship a secret.

At first, Chi Gui could understand and accept it. But as time passed, she could no longer bear being in a relationship hidden from the world.

Just then, Chi Gui met Qin Ran, who understood and cared for her even better...

Truthfully, Qin Ran hadn't wanted to get involved with the person who was always sitting on that bench.

They'd merely crossed paths while she was out clearing her head. Then, by accident, she fell hard for someone who kept saying in a quiet voice that she was fine while wiping away her tears again and again.

So what if she had a girlfriend?

Qin Ran wanted to kiss the tears from the corners of her eyes when she cried, and she wanted to be the reason she cried again.

And that's exactly what Qin Ran did.

After showing her a photo that shouldn't have existed, she comforted her softly.

When the other girl tearfully asked why Qin Ran wouldn't leave her alone, Qin Ran pointed to the distance, where her girlfriend was with someone else.

Qin Ran swore she only wanted her to care about her a little more. It wasn't her fault that this girl, who was always pretending to be strong, was so captivating...

At the start of her sophomore year, Chi Gui was hounded by a woman who seemed to come out of nowhere.

She showed up when Chi Gui was rejected by her girlfriend, holding her and murmuring, "Let me comfort you, Senior Sister."

Whenever Chi Gui wasn't chosen, she'd reach out and ask if Chi Gui wanted to leave with her.

Chi Gui: "You know I have a girlfriend."

Qin Ran, without batting an eye: "I don't mind being your second woman."

She shouldn't have done something like this, but there was no way to refuse anything Qin Ran did.

"Whatever your girlfriend can't give you, let me give it to you."

If Chi Gui chose the present, then Su Ting was the future.

She hoped Chi Gui would be happy in the future, hoped she would be content, and wished she could be everything Chi Gui needed.

Even knowing her girlfriend's relationship with that woman was more than innocent, all she said was, "I won't stop you..."

And when everything was over, she'd take out a ring and ask, "Do you like it, Xiao Chi?"

But by focusing only on the future, she seemed to be about to lose Chi Gui...
