A cruel woman who tosses men aside once she's done with them x a lovestruck playboy with a calculating mind
In the first half, the girl uses the boy at school x in the second half, the man pursues the woman in the city
1. Si Qingzhu and Chen Nian's relationship began with each of them using the other for their own purposes. They thought it would end quickly, but in the end, they parted in utter disgrace, crushing their true feelings.
Again and again, Chen Nian asked Xia Yuan, “Did you use me from beginning to end?”
Si Qingzhu turned her back to him, refusing to look at him. “Yes.”
“Then did you ever like me? Even for a single moment?”
“No.”
Si Qingzhu never looked back. She kept walking, leaving him behind, and cut off all contact the next day.
2. After graduating from grad school, Si Qingzhu dumped her overly clingy boyfriend and flew home overnight, only to find herself unable to escape a blind date.
Unwilling to go, she dressed in a dull, unflattering outfit and put on garish makeup. Then she sauntered over to sit across from her blind date. When she looked up and saw the person she hadn't seen in years, she froze.
“Why are you here?”
“I just wanted to see you once and wait for you to hear my explanation.”
“I have a boyfriend.”
“That doesn't matter. I can be your lover.”
