Second chances at love | Reunion after a long separation | Unrequited love becomes mutual

[1] Wen Jingyu was a notorious playboy, wild and free-spirited, as everyone knew.

Yet somehow, a man like him consistently held the top spot in the grade at Qijiang No. 1 High School.

Watching Wen Jingyu cycle through girlfriends, Cheng Shi switched from humanities to sciences and studied day and night for a year, taking first place away from him.

One day, Cheng Shi went to a KTV to find someone. She became the center of attention and heard someone tease, "Brother Yu, if you can win that girl over, first place in the grade will be yours again."

Wen Jingyu lowered his eyes as he fiddled with his phone, his tone indifferent. "She only cares about studying. That's boring."

Cheng Shi lowered her gaze and turned to leave.

Later, at the entrance to a damp alley, Cheng Shi found her way blocked. Wen Jingyu's lips curved as he stood there, relaxed and languid.

"Can I kiss you today?"

Cheng Shi said nothing. She lowered her eyes to the shadows overlapping on the ground.

Wen Jingyu clasped both her hands behind her back and rested his forehead against hers. "I've been chasing after you for so long. Even a dog deserves a little food now and then."

"So, will you be my dog?" the girl asked softly, saying his name. "Wen Jingyu."

"Sure, Cheng Shi."

[2] After learning that Cheng Shi and Wen Jingyu were together, her friend said that she wouldn't be able to handle a playboy like him, and they'd definitely break up within three months.

Sure enough, her friend's words came true.

After she started working, her family began urging her to go on blind dates. At her mother's insistence, a prospective match came to visit.

Cheng Shi couldn't find a way to refuse, so she could only humor him.

But as soon as her date left, the door that had been firmly shut behind her opened.

The man leaned against the wall, glanced at the neck covered by her high-necked undershirt, and raised an eyebrow. "What, afraid he'll see the marks from last night?"

Cheng Shi was about to blow up at him.

"Didn't you tell me to quit smoking?" Wen Jingyu sat down on the sofa and swept an arm around her. Cheng Shi fell into his lap.

His lips curled into a wicked smile. "I'm craving a smoke. Let me kiss you a little longer."
