Qin Wan always believed that love arrived in an instant, like the first time she saw Ke Yue.
On the basketball court, Ke Yue's final three-pointer drew screams from the whole crowd.
Wearing his jacket, Qin Wan waited beside the locker room. "How about a deal? We're a perfect match, after all."
Just as she'd expected, Ke Yue didn't refuse.
They kept things ambiguous, neither denying nor acknowledging their relationship. Qin Wan was nearly head over heels for him.
Until she happened to hear Ke Yue admit it himself: "I'm not into her. I'm faking it. I'm single."
That was when Qin Wan faced reality and chose to walk away.
But later, on her eighteenth birthday, Ke Yue locked the door behind them.
With moisture glistening on his lips, the man watched her lost in pleasure and asked a question he already knew the answer to.
"Baby, do you like your eighteenth birthday present?"
--
Some people say Ke Yue is Yan University's untouchable heartthrob, and that getting too close to him would be sacrilege.
Qin Wan scoffs at that, privately calling him a hypocrite.
Countless people like him, but after seeing what happened with Qin Wan, almost no one dares confess to him.
Just as everyone begins to wonder about Ke Yue's sexuality, a photo appears on the campus confession wall.
In a dim corner, Ke Yue has a woman in his arms, one hand clasped around her slender waist as they kiss passionately.
The aloof male idol's image is completely shattered, so Ke Yue drops the act and comes clean.
But because he'd denied it before, and Qin Wan is deliberately keeping their relationship secret, even when they walk together openly, no one connects them.
While everyone wonders who managed to win him over, Ke Yue spends every night at Qin Wan's side, groveling and begging her to make their relationship official.
"Baby, when are you going to make us public?"
--
The day Ke Yue got dumped happened to be his birthday.
He waited all night outside Qin Wan's apartment building, only to learn that she was leaving the country.
With just one hour left before her flight took off, Ke Yue rode his motorcycle with the throttle wide open.
The last time they met, Ke Yue made a wish for his twenty-first birthday: that he would never see Qin Wan again for the rest of his life.
They met again three years later, at a friend's engagement party.
Qin Wan raised her glass to wish him a happy engagement, frank and gracious.
Ke Yue didn't respond or explain. He hid alone in the stairwell and smoked.
He'd just about convinced himself to let go, but Qin Wan came after him again.
In the dimly lit stairwell corner, the flame between Ke Yue's fingers slowly faded.
He pinned her against the wall, kissing her again and again, asking over and over, "Say it again. Who are you wishing happiness to?"

Theme: People who move at the same pace won't drift apart.
Not long after I started writing the article, I have been following it until now. Not to mention that it has not been completed for so long. The plot has been delayed again and again, and the request for leave has also been delayed. I said it would be updated the next day, but what I waited for was you asking for leave again. The last long vacation was even more outrageous. There were all reasons, but not updating. At that time Several familiar readers are talking about you now. I also wanted to comment below, but after thinking about it, I decided not to. How many people have abandoned the article because of you? We readers have spent money to buy the article but have to wait and wait. Can't we save the article well and finish it quickly?
Wow, when can we write about our reunion in three years?
Can you finish it this month as you said?
Can you finish it this month as you said?
Is it over so quickly? I feel like the plot is a bit unconnected and the jump is too fast?
