[The complete edition costs about 4 RMB, the price of a cup of lemonade. Please support the official release, thank you!] [My new novel is out, feel free to check it out if you're interested.] Rekindled love / Reunion from the opening / Both leads are each other's first love / Flashbacks woven throughout 1. Shen Zhi, the eldest daughter of the Shen family, had always had everything go her way. She had never faced a setback, until she fell for the academic ace from the class next door, An Shu. "Be my boyfriend." Shen Zhi lifted her chin, as if she thought she was granting him an incredible honor. To her surprise, he didn't even look at her before walking away. Shen Zhi's stubborn streak kicked in. She swore she would win over this iceberg. Everyone mocked Shen Zhi for being presumptuous, but no one knew that two people were falling passionately in love on a quiet, tree-lined path. The two most conspicuous people at school began a secret relationship that nobody knew about. Shen Zhi was kissed breathless when the usually aloof and distant boy asked her in a low voice: "Do you think he'd treat you the way I do?" "..." Back then, Shen Zhi hadn't thought about the future, but she hadn't thought about breaking up either. 2. Years after they parted, they met again on a charity program. Shen Zhi traveled all the way to the Northwest, where she ran into her ex in the middle of nowhere. He was just as cold and distant as ever, untouched by the world. She, meanwhile, had fallen awkwardly to the ground. He held out his hand, but she pretended not to see it. Meeting An Shu's direct gaze, Shen Zhi slowly looked up and calmly pretended not to recognize him. "Long time no see." He gave her a slight, mocking smile. "Yeah. I didn't think life would be this short." Shen Zhi: "..." He still remembered that the last message she had sent him was: [Never see you again in this lifetime!] Shen Zhi thought that exes should have nothing more to do with each other. While filming the program, they silently agreed to pretend they didn't know one another. But she never expected that when filming ended, An Shu, who never drank, would get completely wasted for her and barge into her room. He held her carefully, his lips pressed to her cheek, warm breath brushing her ear as he pleaded in a low voice, "Don't go, Zhi Zhi." Bonus scene: During the program, the participants had to work in pairs to complete a task. An Shu had assumed Shen Zhi would come ask him for help. But Shen Zhi didn't even look at him. She went straight to another man and said, "I think he's stronger than you." An Shu's jaw tightened, his expression darkening. Later, An Shu kept Shen Zhi in the hotel's white bed for an entire day and night. Pinning her hands above her head, the man's low, seductive voice lingered by her ear. "Zhi Zhi, who do you think is stronger now?" Shen Zhi: "..." Blurb for this novel ends here------------------------------------- My next novel, "My Ex-Boyfriend Who Sends Money So Fast," is coming soon. Please add it to your collection by visiting my author page! Lin Yu and Xie Xiangqing were both admitted to S University. Xie Xiangqing became S University's campus heartthrob as soon as he enrolled, thanks to his handsome looks. But he was naturally cold and indifferent, treating every admirer the same and ignoring them all. Lin Yu, meanwhile, was just one face among countless beauties at S University. No one would ever have linked the two of them, and of course no one knew that they had once dated, until Lin Yu was the one who ended things. One day, Xie Xiangqing returned to his dorm and heard his boastful roommate playing a phone call on speaker. A gentle female voice came through: "But I think that restaurant's decor is really pretty." "Yeah, I think it's all right," the roommate replied dismissively. For once, Xie Xiangqing spoke up. "When she says that, she means she wants you to take her there to eat." Roommate: "?" Other roommates: "??" Lin Yu: "???" Lin Yu pulled the phone away from her ear. Was it her imagination, or had she just heard her deadpan ex's voice? Before Lin Yu could hang up, a notification appeared at the top of her screen. [Alipay received 520] Message: Come with me, and I'll take you out to eat. Lin Yu ignored it. The next day [Alipay received 5,200] Message: Add me back as a friend. Lin Yu still ignored it.
