Back in college, everyone knew Zhou Bairan hated Zhu Yuan.
He thought so himself, and believed it without a doubt.
But all his friends teased him.
"Who would believe you two aren't dating? If you don't have feelings for Zhu Yuan, why spend every day picking up her packages, staying up late to help her study for the CPA exam, making sure she practices for the IELTS, and preparing a birthday surprise for her every year?"
Zhou Bairan said coldly that he didn't.
He did all that just to expose Zhu Yuan's scheme to toy with his buddy.

Years later, Zhou Bairan parachutes into the company as an executive, while Zhu Yuan is an intern.
The supervisor enthusiastically introduces her. "This is our new intern, Xiao Song. She has an impressive internship record and is conscientious and diligent."
As the supervisor piles on the praise, Zhu Yuan breaks into a cold sweat.
Zhou Bairan gives a derisive laugh.
"I hear she's my junior from college. Quite a bit of internship experience, huh?"
A thunderclap seems to sound overhead. Zhu Yuan closes her eyes in despair.
During her senior-year internship, she rented an apartment while preparing for graduate school entrance exams. She had Zhou Bairan help her with English, do the housework, cook, and walk her dog.
No one knows what she's really like better than Zhou Bairan.

From high school classmates to college friends, from friends to estranged.
When they meet again, Zhou Bairan never expected it would happen so soon, much less that he would fall for Zhu Yuan all over again.
Zhou Bairan slips his hands into his pockets and says lazily, "Go on, admit it. You want to chase me, don't you?"
Zhu Yuan is silent for a few seconds, then slowly replies, "Shouldn't you be the one trying to chase me?"
She counts off on her fingers. "You helped clear my name, helped me move, and you're so rich that there's no way you'd need a roommate..."
She expects Zhou Bairan to get angry, but instead he gives her a straightforward answer.
"Yes, I'm pursuing you. What are you going to do about it?"
