A Zhen and A Qiang

When they were young, Zhou Jianian was the kind of boy Su Yinuo didn't dare look at for too long in a crowd: cool-eyed and devil-may-care, always surrounded by a throng of people wherever he went. Just looking at him, you could tell he was not to be messed with.

When the college entrance exams ended, she walked out of the examination hall and saw Zhou Jiayan's empty seat. She thought she'd probably never see him again in this lifetime.

She would never return to this run-down little county town.

What she never expected was that one day, seven years later, she would come back here and marry twenty-five-year-old Zhou Jianian.

In Zhou Jianian's memory, Su Yinuo was quiet and timid. Aside from when exam results were announced, he hardly noticed she was there.

But in the year she graduated from graduate school, her parents died unexpectedly, and the factory they had run for years teetered on the brink of collapse. Her relatives and friends took advantage of her, a young woman on her own, and kicked her while she was down. Everyone wanted to grab a share of her inheritance.

The usually meek young woman was surrounded by people, yet showed a resilience and courage at odds with her age and appearance.

Zhou Jianian happened to see it a few times.

He only had to glance over, and the crowd around her dispersed. Everyone knew that in Fengtai County, you could provoke anyone but this local big shot.

He had no intention of getting involved in this mess.

Who could have guessed that on a rainy night, after he kindly helped her clean up a little of the mess, she would take the cigarette from his lips and kiss him through her tears? "Zhou Jianian, you're the only one who can help me."

As Fengtai County's famous rich playboy and local kingpin, Zhou Jianian was the only one in this little county town who could handle anything he wanted to. There was nothing he couldn't take care of.

He seemed carefree and unruly, but was actually detached and clear-headed about everything. He never got mixed up in anyone else's mess.

Yet at twenty-five, he still married Su Yinuo, whose life was tangled up in trouble.

Even knowing she was using him, he poured his heart into her and kept coming back to her side.

Don't ask.

The answer is, he couldn't stand to see her cry.
