At seventeen, Nan Yan made the most unconventional decision of her life: she ran away from home.
The first meeting as Nan Yan remembers it was when he helped get her suitcase out of a taxi's trunk, and when she awkwardly ducked under his umbrella on a rainy night.
But the first meeting as he remembers it was when a little bundle of a girl, abandoned at the train station, sweetly handed him a piece of Want Want milk candy.
Nan Yan thought Meng Yibei was a huge iceberg, cold on the outside but warm on the inside. But she was good at coaxing him, and often left him completely at a loss. Later, she realized she might have fallen for him.
"Brother, Jin University, the school you've told me so much about, sounds amazing. Next summer, I'll be your junior!"
To make that wish come true, Nan Yan studied day and night and came first in the city. Meng Yibei waited for the day she received an admission letter just like his, so he could finally tell her how he felt openly.
But just when he was full of hope, she left for France without a word and stayed for seven years.
She said she would never come back.
She said goodbye.
Seven years later, a new star rose in venture capital. Everyone in business was a little wary of Meng Yibei. It's true that merchants put profit first, but this man was willing to risk his life. After all, anyone who had spent time in prison was bound to have a ruthless streak.
Later, people in their circles heard that President Meng had a beloved first love. They assumed she would be a gentle, pretty songbird, until Nan Yan pushed open the KTV door, her alluring eyes lifted seductively, captivating everyone in the room.
"Where's Meng Yibei?"
Damn, a red rose with thorns.
P.S.:
1. The female lead is not perfect.
2. The story follows them from school to adulthood, but they only get together after the female lead has come of age.
Theme: Things will get better. Everything will get better.
I like this setting so much!
