Jiang Xu was gentle and resilient. She had secretly loved Gu Jing for seven years, but never dared to tell him.
Gu Jing was tall, handsome, bold, and carefree. He was always the center of attention, with countless women pursuing him.
Once, when a woman was pestering him relentlessly, he put an arm around Jiang Xu's shoulders and said with a teasing smile, “I'm taken. This is my girlfriend.”
Under the dim lights, Jiang Xu lowered her head, her face turning bright red.
Jiang Xu walked him home.
He must have been very drunk. “A Xu, want to try being together?”
His smile was teasing, and it was hard to tell if he was serious.
After they got together, Jiang Xu spent three years as his secret girlfriend, someone he couldn't make public.
Then a mutual friend brought up marriage. Jiang Xu was full of hope, only to hear him say, “We were just having fun. Why would we get married?”
Seven years of secret love, three years together.
Ten years had been nothing but a joke.

Jiang Xu left without a word and disappeared from Gu Jing's life completely.
At first, life carried on as usual. Nothing seemed different.
Except that he gradually began drinking heavily.
Only later did he realize that after Jiang Xu left, a hole had opened in his heart.
As time passed, it grew larger and larger, and no amount of alcohol could fill it.
He went to great lengths to find Jiang Xu's address, only to see a man beneath a tree tying a scarf around her neck, their gestures intimate.
The sight was so painful that he nearly ground his teeth to dust.
She wanted to disappear from his world? Not a chance.

They officially reunited at a dinner party.
She treated him like a flood or a raging beast, avoiding him at all costs and leaving early.
Gu Jing blocked her at her front door. “Why did you leave without a word back then?”
Jiang Xu looked up at him, her eyes filled with a contempt she had never shown before. “We were just having fun. Why take it seriously?”
