Don't Be a Stranger

1.

At twenty-three, Cen Wan narrowly survives a car accident. When she wakes up, her memories have reverted to when she was eighteen.

A nurse tells her not to panic. Her boyfriend will be by to visit soon.

Cen Wan is distraught: Who would care about some strange man coming to see her at a time like this?

But when she sees the tall figure in the doorway, her mood instantly brightens.

Her future self is amazing. She actually managed to get together with the upperclassman she's had a crush on since her first year of high school?

Back then, Lin Ji was a legendary figure at No. 1 High School, with countless admirers.

Cen Wan knew her chances were slim, so she buried her feelings deep inside.

“Senior Lin!” She can't suppress her raised smile and tries to sound demure. “What did I used to call you? Babe, darling, or... hubby?”

Lin Ji's expression shifts in inscrutable ways. After a long pause, he answers, “You usually just call me Senior.”

“That's way too formal!” Cen Wan blurts out. “From today on, I'll call you babe, okay, babe?”

Lin Ji: “...”

2.

One day, Cen Wan learns that it was all a misunderstanding. Lin Ji isn't her boyfriend at all.

Her beautiful dream shattered, Cen Wan finds Lin Ji, looking downcast. “Sorry, Senior. I've been causing you trouble all this time.”

The next second, she finds herself sitting on his lap.

As she panics, the man says lightly, “I still prefer it when you call me babe.”
