At their high school reunion after the college entrance exams, Cheng Wei, usually quiet and introverted, draws a truth question: "Is there anyone you like right now?"
"No."
She answers at once.
The game goes on, and Ji Shichuan, lounging against the bar, draws the same question again.
All the classmates turn to look. Amid their gossipy stares, his proud childhood friend, the school beauty, blushes for once and approaches with her glass in hand.
Ji Shichuan gets up and walks straight outside.
"I used to have someone."
He glances in a certain direction and curls his lips into a smile. "Of course I still do."
*
The reunion ends in a hurry. Ji Shichuan grips Cheng Wei by the wrist and corners her in the hallway.
"Is it really fun to keep lying like this?"
"Tell me, when are you finally going to make it public?"
In the dim, hazy light, Cheng Wei lets out a deep breath. "Ji Shichuan."
"Have you never wondered..."
She closes her eyes and says softly, "What if I was lying when I said I loved you back then?"
-You are the purest lie of my life-
*This is not the final blurb.
*But the ending will definitely be a happy one.
