In the room.

"You have a fever. Your face is so red," she says drunkenly.

"I don't."

"Why don't you give it to me?" She strokes his face and starts acting coy.

Before he can answer, she lowers her head, about to kiss the corner of his lips.

1. In high school, Lu Jinyue is a well-behaved student who follows the rules and goes unnoticed.

Her one act of rebellion is sneaking off to a temple during a school trip to ask if her secret crush will ever return her feelings.

Halfway through the fortune-telling, she is caught by Lin Qiheng, a boy in her class.

Lin Qiheng is handsome, an excellent student, and from a distinguished family.

Though easygoing, he's a young man of such exceptional standing that she wouldn't dare approach him.

On top of that, he's the younger brother of the person she has a crush on.

But he approaches her first, his gentle smile irresistibly captivating.

Lost in his beautiful eyes, she hears him ask, "You like him. Want me to help you?"

Lu Jinyue looks up at the boy standing close before her and, without quite knowing why, nods.

2. Lin Qiheng has never known love or warmth, and is used to hiding his true feelings.

He deliberately approaches Lu Jinyue, never expecting to grow greedy for her affection.

When he learns that his brother and Lu Jinyue have a mutual crush on each other, he stops Lin Yiyun from confessing and tells him, "Sorry. She's in love with me."

In the end, Lin Qiheng gets his wish and becomes her boyfriend.

They promise to stay together forever, but she is the one who breaks up with him.

3. Years later, Lin Yiyun and Lu Jinyue reunite and decide to get engaged out of the blue.

When Lin Qiheng hears the news, he immediately leaves the charity art exhibition he's hosting and rushes over.

By then, Lu Jinyue is a little drunk and walking down a quiet, empty corridor.

Lin Qiheng catches her as she struggles to stay on her feet, but she pushes him away.

He bends toward her, warm breath curling around her neck as if he's about to kiss her.

"You think it's all over, don't you? But for me, everything is just beginning."

Lu Jinyue's breathing suddenly turns ragged.

[He promised to stay with her forever. Now he's here to keep that promise.]
