Three years into their marriage, Jiang Yi's first love returned from abroad.
-
Friday.
Cheng Xu came home to find a message from the woman he had been married to for three years.
She wouldn't be home tonight. She was going out to dinner with her colleagues.
He lowered his eyes and calmly told her to stay safe, then asked if she wanted him to pick her up that night.
Half an hour later.
Jiang Yi replied: No need. I'll take a taxi home.
That night.
Cheng Xu found a hotel key card in his drunken wife's purse.
The man's pale, slender hand clenched around the card.
This was the third time he had caught his wife acting strangely.
He suspected she might have fallen for someone else.
-
Jiang Yi had chosen Cheng Xu as her husband for three reasons:
First, he was handsome and had a good figure. She was proud to be seen with him.
Second, he was a good person, an honest man.
Third, he could cook and took good care of the home, so she never had to worry.
Until one day, she realized that Cheng Xu's gaze when he looked at her was very strange.
-
A long, long time later.
Jiang Yi happened to open her graduation photo album and spotted, in the corner of a picture, a handsome, unremarkable boy whose school uniform collar had been washed almost white.
That midsummer, the boy in his school uniform stood beneath the trees, watching Jiang Yi leave the school gates surrounded by a crowd.
His dark lashes lowered gently, and the white cord of his earphones swayed in the breeze.
The yellowed pages of his diary turned one by one in the wind, recording the secret, unspoken crush he had kept hidden.
The last page of the diary was dated the final class of his senior year:
[Jiang Yi, wait for me after school. Let's walk home together.]
But the sad truth was,
she had never once looked his way.
- "I love you, above zero degrees."
- The male lead seems like an honest man, but inside he's dark and twisted
- Secret crush from the male lead
- An honest man goes crazy for love
- The female lead does not cheat
