[Two-faced, self-serving girl next door × Tsundere, fragile younger brother who keeps to himself]
Zhu Fei behaved herself for more than twenty years. Her rebellious phase didn't hit until she was twenty-three.
She brought her new girlfriend home, expecting her parents to fly into a rage, but instead she ran into a fatherly younger brother. He was leaning on the sofa with a copy of Wu San in his hands. He glanced at her once and said coldly, "You two don't suit each other."
"Mind your own business! Who do you think you are?"
Cheng Luo remained calm. Ignoring her question, he said, "I'm living under your family's roof."
Zhu Fei was dazzled by his looks, but even more than that, a sudden urge to torment him rose in her heart. She wanted to see him cry.
She hid her intentions, paid her friend a suitable breakup fee for playing along, and turned her rebellious slogans on Cheng Luo instead.
"Interested in dating me?"
Cheng Luo glanced at her and asked, "For how many months?"
Zhu Fei raised an eyebrow. She'd thought he'd solemnly say they couldn't date until he got into university. Curling her lip, she said, "There's a month left before break ends, so let's date for a month."
She got her wish and started dating him. She acted obedient, getting Cheng Luo to break plenty of rules along the way.
Including, but not limited to, skipping his studies, staying up all night playing video games, and acting like a street thug.
Finally, their month-long relationship ended. Zhu Fei had experienced what it felt like to be loved, and she promptly grew tired of the relationship. Without even saying goodbye, she dragged her suitcase away and happily returned to school to continue being the well-behaved, top student.
And Cheng Luo was left behind in that alley.
When Cheng Luo realized Zhu Fei had played him, he went all out, transformed himself, and swore he'd make her regret breaking up with him.
When they met again that year, Zhu Fei fell for him once more, but showed no sign of it. She lowered her head and calmly accepted a red rose from one of her admirers.
Cheng Luo stood in the crowd, fists clenched, staring hard at the rose in Zhu Fei's hand.
"Zhu Fei, you're finished."
