[A Beijing-style story about a bandit falling for a young master]
(They're not related, despite the fake-incest setup.)
When Zhou Sheng was in high school, he was crazy about the younger brother of the new neighbors who had just moved into the compound.
The younger brother was a transfer student at their school, in the class next door to Zhou Sheng's.
He was fair-skinned and bookish, unlike the kids who'd grown up in the compound, who were all bandits.
So Zhou Sheng was drawn to him from the very first moment they met.
Whenever he had an excuse, he played the school bully and escorted Jiang Xiaoye to and from school.
After Jiang Xiaoye refused him over and over, he eventually got on the bandit's ride.
At first, Zhou Sheng treated Jiang Xiaoye like a buddy. But before long, something felt off.
Zhou Sheng pinned him against the wall and kissed him fiercely.
After refusing him over and over, Jiang Xiaoye ended up with a boyfriend.
The day after they officially started dating in secret,
Jiang Xiaoye moved away.
His entire family relocated, leaving not a trace behind.
They left so thoroughly that Zhou Sheng was blocked on every contact method, and even his own parents had no idea where their usually close neighbors had gone.
After taking his college entrance exams, Zhou Sheng followed his father to the mountains for special forces training.
Ten years later, he opened a small bar in Beijing with his father's help, selling local mountain goods on the side.
His lecherous buddy tried to flirt with someone while drunk and ended up hitting on Zhou Sheng's ex, Jiang Ye.
Zhou Sheng felt drunk even though he hadn't touched a drop.
He just couldn't swallow his anger, so he spent nearly three months taking emotional revenge on Jiang Ye...
