1.
Yu Suiran has started her first year of high school, and a girl in her class named Li Qiaowei is always picking on her.
Their disagreements keep piling up, so their homeroom teacher asks them to bring in their parents.
In the staff room, Yu Suiran looks up at the sound of the door opening.
The newcomer looks about twenty-four, with cool, handsome features and a tall, imposing stature.
He must have squeezed the visit into a packed schedule. A suit jacket hangs over his arm, and his fine white shirt does nothing to hide his good figure.
The man frowns and gives Li Qiaowei a cool glance, then perfunctorily shakes the homeroom teacher's hand. "Hello. I'm Li Qiaowei's uncle, Huo Liuting."
Yu Suiran starts thinking about Huo Liuting more and more often.
She can't forget how he walked up to her that day and said in his deep, mellow voice, "If Qiaowei ever bullies you again, come to me."
2.
Three years pass, and Yu Suiran finally gets into the university of her dreams.
She gathers her courage and confesses to Huo Liuting.
A flicker of surprise appears in his usually indifferent eyes. A few seconds later, he laughs as if he finds the whole thing absurd. "You're too young. I can't bring myself to do that to you."
Yu Suiran's heart aches sharply, but the next moment she says, "It's okay. I won't ask you to take responsibility."
She doesn't know how it began, but somehow Yu Suiran ends up with Huo Liuting.
For a while, she loses hope, thinking she will never be able to warm this man's heart. Even though he loves her body, he has never whispered a single sweet word to her.
Huo Liuting thinks Yu Suiran is just a child looking for a bit of novelty, and that their relationship will come to an end on its own one day.
But when he really sees another man pursuing Yu Suiran, a dark look flashes through his eyes.
On the top floor of the hotel where the two of them often meet, he loses control and throws a fit.
Afterward, Yu Suiran gets dressed and prepares to leave.
Huo Liuting suddenly grabs her wrist.
His voice is utterly humble, stripped of all his usual pride. "Please give me one chance to pursue you again. I beg you."
1. Nine-year age gap; Beijing elite circle; both leads are each other's only ones; happy ending.
2. A crush becomes reality; she pursues him at first, then he goes through hell to win her back.
