I Won't Be a Caged Canary

[Straight-talking singer Chi Mian x sensitive CEO Li Wenye]

Four years ago, Chi Mian met Li Wenye for the first time.

He was a rebellious top student who had dropped out; Li Wenye was a rich kid who did nothing useful.

Chi Mian opened with, "I want to pursue you," stunning everyone.

Li Wenye stumbled back in fright and couldn't bring himself to look at Chi Mian for the rest of the game.

Chi Mian thought, This big brother is so much fun.

Two years ago, Chi Mian saw Li Wenye for the last time.

He was a popular singer, and Li Wenye was his patron and boss.

The other person named in his secret contract.

Chi Mian thought they would last, until he rushed home clutching his award and was hit with a bolt from the blue.

"Let's break up."

They said every hurtful thing they could to each other, did everything they enjoyed doing together, and still didn't change their minds.

From then on, they were strangers.

This year, when they met again, Chi Mian was rumored to be dating Li Wenye's older brother.

Li Wenye warned Chi Mian to keep his distance from his brother.

Chi Mian asked, "What gives you the right to tell me what to do?"

He held a grudge and couldn't stand Li Wenye acting as if nothing had happened.

But as his resentment grew, Chi Mian realized that he wasn't blameless, and Li Wenye hadn't moved on either.

So let's give it another try.
