Falling Into the Spring Tide

On their wedding night, Lu Meng rushes off for work. Beneath her coat, she's still wearing the dress she had on for the wedding toasts.

By the time she finishes, it's already late at night. Only then does she remember the new husband she left behind. Feeling guilty, she wonders how to apologize, when she suddenly meets a pair of deep, dark eyes.

Lu Bofan steps closer, kneels on one knee, and slips the woman's elegant wedding shoes off her feet.

"What are you doing here?"

At her bewildered look, he scoops her up in his arms and answers casually, "Taking you home."

Lu Meng had assumed that Lu Bofan married her simply to appease his family.

At a family gathering, her little niece pulls him aside and complains, "I don't want to grow up and marry someone just because we're a good match, like Uncle did."

Lu Bofan has no idea where she heard that rumor. He laughs. "Lots of couples get together because they're a good match."

His answer leaves Lu Meng feeling a moment of disappointment.

She hadn't meant to eavesdrop and is about to leave when she hears him continue, unhurriedly: "But I married your aunt because I love her."

From the moment I first saw you, I knew there would never be anyone else.

Coming soon: Neon Can't Hear

Wen Yuci has an all-purpose childhood friend.

When she's upset, she hides at Zhou Ke's house.

When she's in trouble, she asks Zhou Ke for help.

Because she's always losing things, she leaves them with Zhou Ke to look after.

She even shares the secret of her crush with him.

Zhou Ke's world is full of her, but it takes her a long time to realize it.

When they meet again, Wen Yuci isn't sure whether Zhou Ke is still as easygoing as he used to be.

As they spend time together, she becomes cautious and polite, no longer clinging to him as freely as she did as a child.

Until one day, Zhou Ke asks, "Did you forget my number, or do you just not want to talk to me?"

Wen Yuci murmurs, "I thought you didn't want to see me again."

Much later, Zhou Ke brings over a pair of women's slippers, kneels to help her put them on, and says in his same cool voice, "That's all in the past."

His answer leaves Wen Yuci with the wrong idea.

Before they part on good terms, she grabs his wrist, her nose stinging as she asks, aggrieved, "On the first morning of senior year, I put the change from buying breakfast in your uniform pocket. Can you give it back to me?"

Zhou Ke: "…"
