Shen Jialai saw Bai Ze again six years later.

Their breakup back then had been so ugly that she'd thought seeing him again would be like starting a raging fire. Instead, they managed to speak with an unexpected calm.

At the old family home, she asked the question that had puzzled her for seven years: "Bai Ze, have you ever regretted abandoning me?"

Bai Ze: "Lailai, even if I could go back in time, I would still do the same thing."

The second time Jialai made the first move was in the tea fields where they'd played as children.

The sun was just right that day. They sat on the ridges between the fields as they had when they were little, and Jialai asked again, "Bai Ze, if you had another chance, would you regret abandoning me?"

Bai Ze admitted defeat. His voice was gentle. "Lailai, I've regretted it every day since you left."

"I win!" Shen Jialai laughed, visibly delighted. She shouted up at the sky, "I have no regrets in life!"

At the time, Bai Ze didn't understand what she meant. He just thought she was silly and, like when they were children, easily satisfied.

Later, when he saw Jialai lying in a hospital bed, he finally understood what she meant by having no regrets in life.

Jialai's way of having no regrets was to give him all of herself.

Chen Xun, a law student of illustrious birth, possessed both talent and virtue. His striking looks, paired with his dazzling blond hair, made him the object of admiration for countless young women.

Determined to win this flower on a high peak, Zhu Yu put a lot of thought into it. At their first proper meeting, she told him, "Chen Xun, give me three months. I'll make you fall for me."

Chen Xun smiled faintly, amused by her audacity. Out of politeness, he said, "You can try."

During the first month, people would always find a girl hanging around Chen Xun.

In the second month, she once took his hand, and he didn't pull away.

In the third month, the girl disappeared, and Chen Xun frantically searched the whole campus for her.

When he found her, Zhu Yu was lounging on a swing, gently swaying back and forth.

Chen Xun's face flushed red, and his words came out haltingly. "Those three months we agreed on, do they still count?"

Zhu Yu looked him in the eye and blew gently. "When things start between us is up to you."

Chen Xun's breathing grew uneven. "I want us to start."

Zhu Yu kissed his trembling eyelids. "I've been waiting for you."

After they got together, Zhu Yu gave Chen Xun a happiness he'd never known before.

After their first kiss, he was panting. She laughed. "Breathe, silly."

After their first night together, he couldn't hold back a sigh when passion overcame him. She said, "You look beautiful when you climax."

Chen Xun thought he'd found his island, and wanted to spend the rest of his life lazing there.

But he never imagined that this island had been false from the very beginning.
