Midsummer Heat [Rekindled Romance]

I've been working overtime too much lately. Let me catch my breath, and I'll update on the 17th or 18th.

Cold, cocky bad boy x eccentric, sensitive girl | Mutual pining

*

From high school through college, Qin Xingyan was the undisputed center of attention at school. Free-spirited and carefree, he was adored by everyone. With his outstanding looks and family background, he was every inch the favored child of heaven.

Sheng Nian had a quiet crush on him throughout high school, but never imagined that one day she might actually end up with him.

In college, they fell into a passionate, all-consuming romance.

Qin Xingyan treated her wonderfully. So wonderfully that she never expected she would be the one to end things without mercy, saying every hurtful thing she could.

Years later, she saw Qin Xingyan again at a dinner hosted by her company and its investors.

To avoid trouble, Sheng Nian had casually made up a few lines about already having a boyfriend.

She never expected that it would come up at the dinner.

After the people who had been teasing her left, she turned to get a glass of water and brushed past someone.

Beneath the bright lights, the man radiated nothing but distant chill. His expression was indifferent and cold, as if all the commotion were beneath his notice.

His words were barbed: "So this is your type now?"

Sheng Nian froze in place, unable to answer.

Then she heard him speak again, his tone almost icy: "What, when you get tired of this one, when are you planning to dump him?"

Sheng Nian knew how deeply she had hurt him when they broke up.

To her, dating Qin Xingyan had been the most precious dream of her eighteen-year-old self. She had carefully held it close, thinking she would never let it go. She never imagined that in the end, she would be the one to shatter it with her own hands, without a moment's hesitation.

That day, rain poured down in torrents. The man cast aside all his pride for her and begged her not to leave.

But Sheng Nian walked away without looking back, convinced in her heart that they could never be together again.

Then, years later, at a college reunion, he had been drinking. When it was over, he cornered her in a secluded corner of the hallway.

The corridor was dim, the shadows heavy and the light blurred. The most proud and carefree man stood with his head lowered, looking at her.

He gripped her wrist until it reddened, his voice hoarse, just as it had been on the day they broke up.

"Sheng Nian, look at me again."
