She Is the One I Desire

[Complete!]

At the end of August, Ruan Zhen showed up at her new school with a face battered purple and blue, so badly injured that it was impossible to make out her original features.

At the far end of the asphalt road, scorched by the blazing sun, a languid young man leaned against a black supercar, surrounded by a crowd. A girl stood on tiptoe, eagerly lighting his cigarette.

Zhou Baichen, beside her, kindly warned her, "They're all rich second-generation kids who do nothing but fool around. Especially Pei Zhou, the one at the front. He's a bad boy who loves to have fun and live wild. Zhenzhen, don't be like the other girls and let his face bewitch you."

Ruan Zhen recalled the glimpse she'd just caught of him. She felt no fondness for him.

-

Beside the sports car, a few boys spotted the two of them as well.

Everyone knew Pei Zhou and Zhou Baichen were at odds, and not one of them held back with their insults.

"Hey, Zhou Baichen's even wiping sweat off that girl's face. Are they dating or what?"

"Hahaha, his taste must be really weird if he likes a face that's been disfigured."

Amid the laughter, no one noticed that Pei Zhou's jaw had tightened. Ash kept falling from the cigarette between his fingers, but he remained perfectly still.

His dark eyes were still fixed on the slender figure, already about to disappear from sight.

His gaze was full of repressed, frenzied jealousy.

-

A little over a month later, Ruan Zhen's injuries had healed.

Her original, unbelievably beautiful face was revealed.

As she passed a room, she heard Pei Zhou's friend joking with him: "Ruan Zhen is so pretty now, and she's Zhou Baichen's childhood sweetheart. If you win her over, Brother Zhou, Zhou Baichen will be furious."

Ruan Zhen stopped in her tracks.

Not long afterward, with something she wanted to ask for, she took the initiative and confessed to Pei Zhou.

The young woman's eyes were clear and pure. Nervous, yet almost excessively honest, she said, "I know you're only nice to me because of Zhou Baichen, and that you want to pursue me. I can be your girlfriend."

The lazy expression on Pei Zhou's face vanished. His dark eyes gazed deeply at her. After a long moment, he smiled and returned to his usual nonchalant manner. "Sure."

When the two started dating, the girls were jealous and confused.

"She's pretty, sure, but she's so stiff and boring. Pei Zhou's just fooling around with her."

Everyone assumed Pei Zhou was only acting on a whim, Ruan Zhen included.

No one expected them to stay together until after the college entrance exams, or that Ruan Zhen would be the one to dump him and go abroad.

Years later, at a class reunion,

Pei Zhou, who hadn't shown up, was still the center of conversation. Everyone talked about him without holding back in front of Ruan Zhen: a successful young man who dominated the business world and had more money than anyone could count.

No one thought the two of them still had a chance, and neither did Ruan Zhen.

Not until the man kissed her until her tongue went numb, her breathing and thoughts in complete disarray. She gazed at him with tear-filled eyes, utterly bewildered. "I thought you were really angry with me."

"I'm furious."

Pei Zhou lightly bit her lip. When she parted her lips, he slipped his tongue in again and kissed her even more fiercely. "But that doesn't stop me from liking you like crazy."

Both are each other's first love, and both are virgins. A cocky guy's secret love finally comes true.
