The first time Jiang Yu met Zhou Yu, she had just crawled out from under a car. The man stood a short distance away, looking at her with calm eyes. She asked,

"Are you here to get your car washed or repaired?"

"I'm looking for someone," Zhou Yu replied.

There was no suspicion in Jiang Yu's eyes, only wariness. Zhou Yu continued casually, "My fiancée has gone missing."

Jiang Yu: Childhood betrothals count as being engaged?

This man who had suddenly appeared was handsome and clingy. He was the sort who slowly warmed you up like a frog in a pot, occasionally turning up the heat. Usually he was warm and gentle, but now and then he made her heart burn. His goal was simple: to marry her.

"Is it for the money?" Jiang Yu asked.

"I'm not short on money," Zhou Yu said, sounding rather smug.

Later, he asked, "I've got tons of money. Want some?"

Jiang Yu: So what if you're rich!

The young master of the Zhou family, Zhou Yu, had lost his childhood betrothed. She had been missing for 19 whole years. He had spent those years waiting on sheer faith. As soon as she was finally found, he went straight to her door, only to be met with:

"Are you crazy?"

"A little," he said.

"Go right 500 meters," Jiang Yu said.

Zhou Yu had just passed that place. It was a mental health rehabilitation center, commonly known as a psychiatric hospital.

"I'm not mentally ill," he said again.

"Then go left 500 meters."

"What's there?"

Jiang Yu ignored him. He looked it up later and found out it was a police station. Zhou Yu smiled. See? She was just as adorable as she had been as a child. But the police station couldn't find him a wife, or it wouldn't have taken 19 years.

Zhou Yu also thought that they really were alike. They had gotten along as kids, and they still could as adults.

[Bonus Scene]

Jiang Yu said she didn't eat fish.

Zhou Yu asked, "Your name is Jiang Yu, but you don't eat fish. If your name were Jiang Xia, would you not eat shrimp either?"

Jiang Yu stared at him expressionlessly.

Zhou Yu's lips curled up. "Wasn't that funny?"

Jiang Yu kept a cold expression. Zhou Yu's smile gradually faded, and he lowered his head to pout quietly.

Jiang Yu turned away, the corners of her lips suddenly lifting in a fleeting smile.

After that, fish never appeared on the table when they ate together.

When Chen Yan first met Shen Shiqing, she thought he was even-tempered and considerate.

Then he suddenly turned on her, giving her a fright.

After that, he came to apologize, saying "I'm sorry" over and over.

Chen Yan had spent half a month calming down. "Keeping her temper in check," she tried to smooth things over for him: "It's fine. Everyone has bad days..."

Shen Shiqing: "No, I was deliberately mean to you."

Chen Yan: "..."

Half a month's effort to calm down had gone to waste. Chen Yan was even angrier this time.

Rumor had it that the young master of the Fang family was supposed to marry for business. Although he was branded an illegitimate son, he still seemed to have plenty of interested suitors. For some reason, however, nothing had been settled.

Shen Lian wasn't interested in gossip, and people rarely told her any. That is, until her name showed up in a rumor.

Shen Lian was stunned.

She did know the other person in the rumor, but they weren't close at all. They had exchanged no more than a greeting on WeChat. She'd heard he was about to get engaged, too, so who was making all this up?

Shen Lian heard it and let it go, not taking it seriously. But after work that evening, the man in question suddenly stepped in front of her car in the underground parking lot.

Shen Lian slammed on the brakes and barely stopped, but still clipped him, knocking him to the ground. By the time she opened the door, she was on the verge of blowing up. Before she could speak, the man propped himself up on one arm. His ears and eyes were red, and he looked at her pitifully. "I'm sorry."

Shen Lian: "..."

She took a deep breath. "It's fine. Are you okay?"

Fang Jing raised his hand. "My leg really hurts. Could you help me up?"

Shen Lian: "?"

Fang Jing had fallen in love for the first time and had no idea how to pursue someone. When the people around him found out who he liked, they gave him advice. "With a face like yours, just keep showing up around her. Don't make your pursuit too obvious. Warm her up slowly, like a frog in a pot. Once she starts to like you, confess. That's how I pursued your sister back in the day."

Fang Jing understood. He just had to seduce her without making it obvious. He'd never done it, but it didn't sound too hard.

He kept himself restrained, his ears bright red, and showed up in front of Shen Lian without changing expression for over a month. Then she held out a gift box. "I heard you're getting engaged. Congratulations."

Shen Lian got a boyfriend, and everyone said he listened to her.

Only Shen Lian knew that Fang Jing was usually well-behaved, like an obedient puppy, but only when he felt like behaving.

When he didn't, he was still like a dog, only now he kissed her neck, his teeth grazing her skin, seeming both pleading and threatening, his voice low and hoarse. "Say you love me."

When she got bitten by her dog, Shen Lian thought he was really infuriating. But she'd lured him in herself, so she could only keep him.

The story of a fierce yet obedient puppy-like guy who plans to pine for someone in secret, accidentally makes it obvious to everyone, and still doesn't realize it, continuing to put on an act.
