1.
Li Shuqiao first met Pei Yanqi at H University.
Wearing a gold-and-pink mermaid gown, Li Shuqiao took the stage as the school's most outstanding student representative. Her words flowed smoothly, and every glance and gesture radiated brightness and grace.
Below the stage.
Seeing his gaze linger on Li Shuqiao, his friend remarked, "You're popular with the ladies. Just got back from overseas and already fell in love at first sight?"
The man shot him a sideways glance and replied with an easy, mocking smile, "I don't have time for that."
Who knew that later, when he heard Li Shuqiao was going to start dating someone...
The moment her boyfriend had left,
this man hurried to pull her into the passenger seat.
He leaned halfway in through the car door, blocking the glaring light from falling on her.
The car was stuffy. His breath fell on her face in waves. Before she could turn her gaze from the road ahead to him, Li Shuqiao heard the man ask, unhurriedly, "How far have you gotten with him? Have you kissed?"
Just as she was about to push him away, the hand at her waist tightened. His forehead pressed against hers again, and his next words tugged at her heart: "Why can't you ever learn? Why do you always make me guess?"
2.
Li Shuqiao had a habit: she didn't like celebrating her birthday. She said she might as well use that time to earn more money.
Later, on a rainy night, a man came all the way back from overseas, carrying a custom-made cake, and shielded her from the wind and rain.
Amid the noisy chaos, Pei Yanqi pulled her slender body into his arms. He said, "Stop working. I'll spend your birthday with you today. I'll pay you a million an hour. How about that?"
Pei Yanqi, heir to the Pei Group, had been put in charge at a young age, steering a business empire worth 450 billion. And that was only the value of what he was currently managing.
Everyone around her thought she'd found a good man. She just thought he was crazy.
But he only said, "You're worth it."
I thought it was the stuffiness of a rainy night's tide, but it turned out my love for you was growing ever more intense.
Little Scene 1
After they got together.
Pei Yanqi: "I love you."
Li Shuqiao: "Mm."
Pei Yanqi: "I love you."
Li Shuqiao: "Mm."
Pei Yanqi: "You're supposed to say, 'I love you too.'"
Li Shuqiao: "I..."
Pei Yanqi: "...Ahem?"
Li Shuqiao: "I'm... a little sleepy."
Pei Yanqi: "...?"
Little Scene 2
One night, for some reason, Pei Yanqi suddenly wanted to play rock-paper-scissors with Li Shuqiao.
He also said whoever lost would get to pick a bottle of wine.
Shuqiao wanted to see what he was up to, but no matter how many rounds they played, he never let her win.
After three rounds, he won.
Shuqiao thought she'd have to drink the wine, and was willing to accept the result.
Who knew, just as she was working up to picking the bottle with the lowest alcohol content,
Pei Yanqi chuckled and said, "I'm the one drinking. Go ahead and pick."
Shuqiao didn't believe him.
"If you drink, isn't it the same as me drinking?"
"..."
"Pei Yanqi, you're done for! You're sleeping on the sofa tonight!"
"Shuqiao," he said with a laugh, "A little fun keeps things lively..."
