On his fourteenth birthday, she confessed her feelings to him. He looked at her with cool indifference. "Cheng Liyuan, your diary says you want to marry me. Your mom says marriage is a woman's second chance at life, and a woman's greatest success is marrying the right husband?" The girl who looked more like his childhood friend than she did, down to every strand of hair, spoke softly. "Hengheng, don't be mad. Your classmate's parents just got divorced, so she's upset. It's normal to tell the truth in her diary." His gaze remained flat and indifferent. She lowered her eyes, blood slowly rushing to her cheeks.

All he wanted was to keep her cornered and chase her until she had no strength left to run. Reader's guide: Ice hockey heartthrob from an old-money family x ordinary childhood friend.
