The Young Lady Has Regrets

Yan Hui and Lin Shiyun shared a desk for three years. That was the only connection between them.

Over those three years, Lin Shiyun went through one "girlfriend" after another, while Yan Hui watched with cool indifference, never saying a word.

By a twist of fate, they both got into the same university, going from desk mates to roommates.

When Yan Hui was so broke she could barely survive, Lin Shiyun took the initiative and offered her a lifeline. "Be my girlfriend, and I’ll solve your immediate money problems."

Yan Hui was puzzled. "Why me?"

Lin Shiyun lifted a lock of Yan Hui’s hair and toyed with it between her fingers, her tone suggestive. "That face of yours is very much to my taste."

Yan Hui did not refuse.

Yan Hui became Lin Shiyun’s "secret girlfriend." Lin Shiyun remained a playgirl and made no effort to hide it from her.

Yan Hui did not mind. She only pretended to be "jealous" when Lin Shiyun needed her to provide emotional support.

Lin Shiyun loved it, declaring that the money was well spent. She was deeply caught up in this one-woman show, never realizing that Yan Hui had never loved her, not from beginning to end.

After graduating, Yan Hui left the country alone, leaving Lin Shiyun at a loss.

Only then did Lin Shiyun belatedly realize that she had long since become unable to live without Yan Hui.

After completing her studies, Yan Hui returned home and joined her alma mater as a lecturer.

She treasured the job, working diligently and taking care not to make the slightest mistake.

That was until a new employee completely upended her peaceful life.

The new employee was stunningly beautiful, with an impeccable resume. Rumor had it she was the heiress of a wealthy family. Everyone was talking about the new lecturer, while Yan Hui felt like she was sitting on pins and needles.

Because she knew this person was Lin Shiyun.

When their paths crossed again, Lin Shiyun was still domineering, cornering Yan Hui in a narrow alley without a word of warning.

Yan Hui calmly pushed up her glasses. "Miss Lin, please show some restraint."

Lin Shiyun smiled warmly. "What if I don’t?"

Yan Hui frowned, but there was nothing she could do about Lin Shiyun.

Lin Shiyun: "Yan Hui, will you give me one more chance?"

Yan Hui raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"

Lin Shiyun dropped her usual playful grin and spoke earnestly. "Let me love you properly."

1. One-on-one romance, happy ending, both leads are each other’s first and only.
