Jiang Ran ended a whirlwind romance that ended as soon as she returned to China, then transformed back into the well-behaved young lady of a wealthy family.
At a family dinner, she ran into her ex again. Her grandfather introduced them warmly: "Ranran, this is your great-uncle's sister-in-law's younger brother. He's your uncle."
Jiang Huai raised his wineglass with an air of nonchalance and lifted his chin slightly. "My little niece?"
Jiang Ran had no choice but to stand and offer a toast, substituting tea for wine.
"...Hello, Uncle."
Jiang Huai's gaze fell on her prim, well-behaved outfit. He let out a low laugh.
"You don't touch alcohol? What a good girl."

Jiang Huai never imagined Jiang Ran could be this well-behaved.
The first time they'd met, she'd downed one glass after another, emptied half a champagne tower, then stumbled into his arms, looped an arm around his neck, and asked, "Shall we give us a try?"
After that, beneath the aurora, at sunrise, and under the moonlight, Jiang Ran never tired of asking him for kisses.
But when their love was at its peak, she walked away, calm as a machine.
"We agreed we'd break up if either of us went back to China."
"So? Are we breaking up now?"
"Tomorrow."
Jiang Ran let her long hair down and kissed him. "One last time."
That was who she was: wild, passionate, uninhibited...
Nothing like the timid, well-behaved girl she was today.

I have a sunflower. Its seeds were boiled, and I keep it in a damp, dark place. The flowerpot is covered in moss.
Because I want to grow flowers, but I'm afraid they'll really live.
Just as I want to love him, but I'm afraid he'll really love me.
-
Our love is out in the open, bold and unashamed beneath the daylight. I'll bear the weight of the world's prejudice.
