Blurb:
Meng Xiangyu first met Li Xiangyao without knowing she was the niece of his stepmother, from her hometown.
She stood beneath a streetlamp, wrapped in an ardent embrace with her boyfriend. Her cheeks were flushed, and her lips were chapped. They looked passionately in love.
The second time Meng Xiangyu met Li Xiangyao, she had taken several buses to deliver local specialties to his stepmother. When she heard people mocking her for sucking up to her rich relatives, she tilted her head toward him without saying a word.
The third time he saw her, she didn't turn down the elders' arrangement for a blind date with his friend. She got along with him happily and asked him a whole string of questions about exam prep.
Meng Xiangyu always felt that Li Xiangyao was keeping her options open, swallowing insults, and still managing to focus on her studies. She was no simple girl.
One day, Li Xiangyao noticed the scorn and contempt Meng Xiangyu hid beneath his polished demeanor. She breathed a sigh of relief. No longer nervous, she decided to deliberately get revenge. She'd see if he could still keep up appearances.
At a family gathering, Li Xiangyao listened to the elders' advice with a careful, docile air.
Meng Xiangyu looked down, and a private photo from her popped up on WeChat.
