Lost in the Mist [Second Chance Romance]

Rugged homestay owner vs. volunteer teacher.

Rekindled romance / height and build difference / small-town setting

1. Lin Xiwu grew up relying on others. After graduating from college, she resolutely chose to teach in a remote mountainous region, hoping to escape her uncle's family's grasp.

When she first arrived in Nanhui Town, a once-in-a-century typhoon was raging. Lin Xiwu lost her wallet, her phone ran out of battery, and she was soaked through when she walked into a roadside homestay.

In the lobby, a man dressed in black had a powerful, muscular build and an intimidating air. He handed Lin Xiwu a power bank. "Deposit: 100 yuan."

She never expected to see here the ex-boyfriend who had dumped her without warning: Meng Yiheng.

2. Meng Yiheng was the heir to the Meng Group in Jingzhou. The only hardship he'd ever suffered in his life was the pain of love. Shortly before graduating from college, his girlfriend of two years had disappeared without a trace. He had people search every inch of Jingzhou and still couldn't find a single clue, until he heard that Lin Xiwu had gone to teach in a remote area.

The man ground his back teeth and spat out a threat. "Lin Xiwu, even if you flee to the ends of the earth, I can still drag you back."

3. The teachers' dormitory at the town's elementary school was dilapidated, so the principal arranged for Xiwu to stay at the homestay for a month. But after only ten days, Xiwu was ready to leave. The owner, Meng Yiheng, stopped her.

Meng Yiheng: "Teacher Lin, why are you leaving?"

Lin Xiwu lowered her head. "My salary isn't even enough to pay for ten days here."

The man grabbed her suitcase and smiled. "The boss's wife doesn't have to pay rent."

Lin Xiwu walked away without hesitation. "I don't go back to an ex."

The man lifted Xiwu onto his shoulder with one arm, carried her back to the room, and tossed her onto the bed. He leaned closer, a carefree smile on his lips. "Baby, I'm the opposite. Leftovers are the most delicious thing in the world."

Short scene:

Lin Xiwu had a habit of saving coins. There was a Hello Kitty coin bank on her bedside table in the dorm. Every night, whenever Meng Yiheng slept with her, he put a coin in it. Two months later, he used the money inside to buy her 99 red roses and formally propose.

Reader's guide:

They reunite at the beginning, in a small-town setting.

The male lead stays here for the female lead.

Some college memories are interspersed.

Both are each other's first love, and both are virgins.
