Rekindled Romance | Showbiz
After an accident five years ago, Cheng Yan was forced to have her memories erased and was sent to the United States. Lu Xingye then disappeared without a trace. No one knew it was a risky move meant to retreat in order to advance.
For five years, more than 1,800 days and nights, he imprisoned himself in his own obsession.
All the while, waiting for her to return.
One day, Cheng Yan woke up to find her assistant rushing into the room with a tablet. “Sis, you’re trending...”
Cheng Yan didn't care. She rolled over and went back to sleep, mumbling, “I know. The trailer for my new show... number one on the trending list.”
“No, no! Someone took a photo of you kissing a strange man in a car in the middle of the night.”
Cheng Yan's eyes flew open, and she sat up at once. “Did they get a clear shot of my face?”
“No...”
Cheng Yan gave her a sidelong look. “Then why are you panicking?”
The next day, the photo was reposted by Ji Yao, a top-tier star, along with three heart emojis.
The post sent shockwaves through the internet. With her new show in the middle of its promotional campaign, Cheng Yan was forced to roll with it, sticking to the three rules: don't deny it, don't admit it, and don't make the first move.
She never expected Lu Xingye to corner her in her hotel room that very night.
Cheng Yan saw his devilishly handsome face, now wearing a chilling smile. She backed away twice before the man swiftly grabbed her by the waist. “Why are you hiding?”
His presence was overpowering. “It's only been a few days, and you're already pulling a switcheroo on me, hmm?”
Cheng Yan looked at him, her eyes curving into crescents. “What, are you jealous?”
Lu Xingye's dark eyes gleamed with arrogant amusement. “I'm going to devour you.”
The next day, Cheng Yan looked at the marks on her neck and glared resentfully at the man behind her in the mirror. “Lu Xingye, are you a dog?”
The man, thoroughly satisfied, walked over barefoot and leaned in to whisper a warning in her ear. “If you're naughty again, you won't be getting out of bed for three days.”
He told Cheng Yan, “These past five years are the result of me holding myself back, again and again.”
He told her, “In this world, where life is at its brightest, you are both my journey and my homecoming.”
