Escape into the Summer Night

You are the reason I stay rational as I fight the world, and the madness that sends me plunging into ruin., Summer Night Escape, 10.16

Second-chance romance / combative couple / intense push and pull

Cen Yingshi is Ji Zhibai’s ex-boyfriend, the man she abruptly dumped and then lost contact with for three years.

When they meet again, her once gentle and bright ex has a tongue as poisonous as ever, treating her like a jungle monster to farm in the middle of a fight.

She politely asks him for a favor. He leans against the door, blocking her way with leisurely ease. “Are we talking with the door open, or with it closed?”

She humbly asks, “What’s the difference between an open door and a closed one?”

“The age restriction, I suppose.” Cen Yingshi gives her a half-smile. “There’s no age limit for the first. The second is for adults only.”

She tentatively chooses, “Open door...” probably.

Before she can finish, he shuts her out without a second thought. “Sorry. I don’t talk unless it’s at the closed-door level.”
