You Should Keep It in Your Heart

"Rain should be hidden in the clouds, and you should be hidden in my heart."

Ye Yuchao has a secret crush on the class monitor, the girl who always ranks first in their year. Nobody knows.

One day, he and a few buddies play a game. They agree that whoever loses has to make a heartfelt confession to the class monitor.

Ye Yuchao, usually the best at games, loses.

He finds the class monitor and pulls her into a secluded corner. Blushing furiously, he tells her in a low voice, "Ni Xinyun, I like you."

Ni Xinyun replies coolly and calmly, "I don't like you."

She lied.

She likes Ye Yuchao.

But she heard the bet Ye Yuchao and his friends made while playing the game.

That's why she said, "I don't like you."

Ni Xinyun doesn't need this kind of "like," and she won't accept it.

Ye Yuchao is utterly convinced that Ni Xinyun doesn't like him.

Until they meet again at a high school reunion during winter break of their freshman year at college.

After getting drunk, she kisses him.

Ye Yuchao blushes furiously in front of her once again. Frozen in place, he stammers in a panic, "Class monitor, what are you doing? Do you know who I am?"

Ni Xinyun blinks and smiles, the corners of her mouth lifting. "You're..."

The person I secretly love, hidden in my heart.

She pauses, then continues, "Ye Yuchao."

Years after they last saw each other, they meet again in an ophthalmology clinic.

"Jasmine." Liang Xingsheng still calls Luo Ying by the nickname he used back then. His voice low and gentle, he asks, "What happened to your eyes?"

Luo Ying says nothing and turns to leave.

One day later, Luo Ying wakes up in Liang Xingsheng's bed.

He is leaning against the window, looking down at her at his leisure. The belt of his bathrobe hangs loose around his waist, and a conspicuous patch of scratch marks covers his chest.

Her face turns red. Putting on a brave front, she raises her voice and snaps, "Liang Xingsheng, are you even human?"

Liang Xingsheng smiles. His gentle tone is utterly unconcerned. "Didn't you already know? I'm a bastard."

He tells her with evident relish, "Jasmine, you called me that last night, too."

[No one cares about me like you do, but no one can break my heart like you do, either.]
