College campus, childhood friends, rivals.] 1 Shengping High was the worst high school in City A. Li Chun met Lu Xiaochi right outside its gates. Her clueless best friend had been conned out of some money by a student from Shengping High. To help her get it back, Li Chun went to the school to ask around about the culprit. “Hey, you guys over there. I’m looking for someone,” Li Chun called to the group of guys gathered by the entrance. “Him? He lives at school.” The one who spoke was standing in the middle. He looked particularly wild and unruly. That was Lu Xiaochi. 2 In the end, Lu Xiaochi came up with a solution: he gave Li Chun a school uniform and said he could sneak her into the school the next morning. People in his class skipped all the time, and the teachers didn’t know everyone by sight. Li Chun could sit beside him as his deskmate, and no one would notice. Li Chun had graduated years ago, but she thought the plan could work. When she tried it, she found it not only worked, but was a lot of fun. Her personality was a perfect fit for the school. In just four days, she had become a well-known figure there. Lu Xiaochi had come up with the idea because he wanted to watch Li Chun get into trouble at his school. After all, she looked easy to bully. But as he watched her take over his world, where he could do whatever he pleased, all while wearing that harmless-looking face, he gradually began to feel something different for her. Love. And possessiveness. These were feelings Lu Xiaochi had never experienced in all his years. 3 Four days later, Li Chun had sorted everything out and left. Even though they had only spent four days together, Lu Xiaochi was already going through withdrawal. He couldn’t concentrate, he was irritable, and he desperately wanted to see Li Chun again. Fate gave him an opportunity. His father was the chairman of Shengchi Enterprises, and when Lu Xiaochi went to Shengchi to see him, he spotted Li Chun. That day, after Li Chun finished work, Lu Xiaochi cornered her in the office pantry. The cramped space gave rise to a twisted feeling. “Hey, sis, do you have a boyfriend?” It was the first time Lu Xiaochi had ever said something like that. “Nope.” Li Chun smiled and shook her head. She was lying. She did have one. To pursue Li Chun, Lu Xiaochi moved into an apartment across from hers. After living there for a month, he saw Li Chun kissing her boyfriend in the stairwell. 4 Later, Li Chun broke up with her boyfriend. After that, Lu Xiaochi’s family went bankrupt, and Li Chun took him in. Later still, they argued, and Lu Xiaochi left her. During the time they lived together, they fought and made love, as if they were caught in a very long dream. When they met again, Li Chun was representing another company to discuss a business deal with Lu Xiaochi. He noticed the wedding ring on her hand. “You got married?” Beneath his calm tone, Lu Xiaochi did his best to hide his resentment and jealousy. “Mm.” Li Chun answered casually, her eyes glinting with mischief. Lu Xiaochi believed her. But Li Chun had lied to him again. She wasn’t married. Please note: 1. The heroine is not a virgin, while the hero is. 2.
