[Strong-willed heroine x scheming bastard]
[Childhood sweethearts / mutual crush / reunion after years apart / marriage before love]
#My crush of six years has risen from the dead after our cold war#
One day, after work,
Pei Suya, already in a foul mood, saw her former crush playing a sweet couples’ game with his girlfriend on her friends list.
The more she thought about it, the more annoyed she got.
So she deleted every one of Shen Yique’s contact details and cut him out of her life for good.
But when she logged in again three days later,
Shen Yique, who’d been lying dormant on her friends list for six years without saying a word, sent her a friend request.
: ?
: You deleted me on WeChat?
#Expanded synopsis#
1. Her grandmother’s eightieth birthday brought an unexpected “guest” to the family home.
When Pei Suya came home from work, she found Shen Yique sitting on the sofa with an air of perfect respectability, at eye level with her cat.
Looking at the “old friend” she hadn’t seen in years, Pei Suya asked the question from the depths of her soul: “What are you doing at my house?”
Shen Yique was perfectly composed, just as he’d been as a teenager: elegant, unruffled, and infuriating. “Grandma said your cat wants a boyfriend, so I’m here to take it back and introduce them.”
Pei Suya: “…”
As if she’d believe that.
After dinner, Shen Yique leaned against the balcony with his hands in his pockets, looking at Pei Suya with graceful ease. “I want to buy a place here. Can you help me out?”
Pei Suya: “I don’t have any money.”
Shen Yique: “I do.”
Pei Suya: “Then what do you want?”
Shen Yique: “A wife.”
Pei Suya pointed at the door. “Get lost.”
2. Everyone thought Pei Suya and Shen Yique would be best buddies for life.
They grew up in the same neighborhood. Shen Yique was an outstanding student and exceptionally handsome, the undisputed pride of heaven and Pei Suya’s role model and spiritual leader.
He gave a speech onstage, and she took pictures.
He played basketball, and she cheered.
He fought with thugs, and she charged in with a brick, getting herself covered in cuts and bruises.
She was his most loyal sidekick. Even Pei Suya herself thought so, until she saw Shen Yique with his girlfriend.
Yellow maple leaves fell around them. For the first time, Shen Yique’s wise, detached eyes softened for a girl. In that moment, Pei Suya’s girlish dreams came to an abrupt end.
She finally realized that her long, drawn-out unrequited love had been a one-woman show all along.
After crying enough to turn herself into a fountain-side statue, Pei Suya took a hard look at herself.
She had to find a way to forget that bastard.
So she started dating, too.
Again and again.
3. At a college reunion, Pei Suya got blind drunk. That was the night she gave Shen Yique her first kiss.
Shen Yique thought he’d gone crazy.
He hadn’t wanted to pull away.
What drove him even crazier was that Pei Suya forgot all about the kiss as soon as it was over, then carried on dating one person after another with boundless enthusiasm.
It wasn’t until she broke up with her ninth boyfriend that Shen Yique realized he couldn’t keep sitting around and doing nothing.
He had to find a way
to become Pei Suya’s last boyfriend.
-
The day Shen Yique proposed to her.
Pei Suya smiled coldly. “You must be really desperate.”
