I Fell in Love with the Girl Next Door

A captivating, scheming beauty with a dangerous streak & a gentle, pure-hearted painter

-

At fourteen, Chu Zhi's parents died in a car accident. She fell seriously ill and was taken in by the Song family.

The pity and sympathy of those around her, and even the hypocrisy of the adults,

all made life feel unbearable.

Only Song Yuli treated her as someone different.

In the summer night, with cicadas singing,

Chu Zhi leaned out the window and watched the two people beneath the parasol tree.

A blushing young boy held out a love letter. "Senior, would you like to try dating me?"

A flash of slyness crossed the girl's eyes. "Sorry, you're not my type."

The meaning of "elegant, intelligent, and mature," as Song Yuli put it,

was still beyond Chu Zhi at the time.

Yet that one sentence stayed with her for years.

At eighteen, with her excellent entrance exam results,

Chu Zhi resolutely chose to study design at the same art college as Song Yuli.

She traveled a thousand miles, clutching her acceptance letter and eager to share the news with her the first chance she got.

But then she stumbled upon Song Yuli confessing her feelings to a strange woman.

The crowd cheered as the two embraced on the sports field.

Only then did Chu Zhi understand what she had always cared about.

Young love was like the wind: impossible to grasp, yet impossible to shake.

All that remained was a young girl's troubled heart scattered across the ground, and her lingering unwillingness to let go.

At twenty-one, Chu Zhi saw Song Yuli arrive in Licheng and unknowingly draw close to her.

Her heart, long since gone still, began to boil and stir once more.

Whether Song Yuli was searching for inspiration or healing a broken heart,

Chu Zhi put away her fox's fangs and silently stayed by her side.

She pretended to become sweet and gentle,

then deliberately lured her in, moving step by step.

All so she could seize her chance to capture the light named Song Yuli.

Those unreadable eyes held a possessive desire and emotion, dark and surging beneath the surface.

Song Yuli could only be hers. This time, she had caught her.
