From childhood on, Bai Luozhi had always been the good girl in everyone else's eyes, dutifully doing whatever was expected of her at each stage of life.

The first person to see through that disguise was Xie Xiaoye. Wayward and untamable, adored by everyone, with a strikingly handsome face... That was Bai Luozhi's first impression of him.

At the time, he lowered his gaze and casually knocked the cigarette she had just accepted out of her hand.

His eyes held both amusement and warning.

Bai Luozhi thought they would never cross paths again, until a club activity.

"Kiss through a tissue for ten seconds." That was the king's command.

Xie Xiaoye sat there, glancing at her with lazy indifference.

"Why pretend to be so well-behaved?" he murmured, his voice low enough for only the two of them to hear.

But the next moment, he froze.

The girl kissed him without putting a tissue between them.

No one would have imagined that a girl like her would sneak into the boys' dorm in the middle of the night, sit on his lap, wrap her arms around his neck, and ask for a kiss.

Xie Xiaoye stroked the sultry corner of her eye with one hand and supported her bottom with the other. His voice was hoarse. "This time, you only want a kiss?"

Bai Luozhi's cool gaze warmed slightly. "Mm. Just a kiss."

Everyone was betting on when the young master would get bored of her. After all, a rabbit could never tame a wild horse.

Sure enough, after the graduation ceremony, no one saw them together again.

But he was the one who got dumped.

For a whole month, every call he made and every text he sent vanished without a trace.

Trying to numb himself, he drank until he bled from the stomach, barely ever regaining consciousness.

He had humbled himself before her until he was lower than dust, and hated her to the bone.

Three years later, Xie Xiaoye made a high-profile return to China as a rising star in the business world. The reporter assigned to interview him was a beautiful woman.

"Mr. Xie, do you intend to take over the Xie family business now that you've returned?"

Xie Xiaoye said nothing. He only stared at the reporter.

Suddenly, he curled his lips and leaned close to her ear, lowering his voice.

"Miss Reporter, you look exactly like my ex-girlfriend."

That night, Bai Luozhi was pinned against her bedroom door.

"Mr. Xie, please behave yourself." She was still so obedient, her slender, pale waist trembling as she let him take control.

"Behave myself?" Xie Xiaoye gazed at that familiar face. "Bai Luozhi... how dare you show up in front of me again?"

He thought he would be angrier, that he would say more cruel things to humiliate her.

But in the end, he only buried his face against her neck and turned all his longing and hatred into a bite mark.

In this relationship, he had always been the one left behind. Yet for all his pride, he was still addicted to her, unable to quit.

"Zhi Zhi, can we start over? I'll be good this time."

Half a Poem: Blurb

When Chen Sui was sixteen, she walked into the Zhou family home with nothing to her name.

She looked up and saw a boy coming down the stairs.

He had just showered, his damp black hair falling over his forehead. As he passed her, he left behind a clean, expensive scent.

Mr. and Mrs. Zhou told her that this would be her home from then on, and that Zhou Qi would be her older brother.

But Chen Sui never dared call him that.

Zhou Qi was dazzling, like the sun. At school, he was always at the center of a crowd.

And she was ordinary and timid, born to be out of place among them.

Whenever those beautiful eyes faced her, they were always cold.

"Chen Sui, why are you blushing?"

She thought that if she kept her secret hidden and behaved well enough, she could stay.

"Zhou Qi, don't be stingy. Your adopted little sister's pretty cute. Why not let her call me big brother a couple of times, too?"

Chen Sui was about to speak when a voice cut him off. "Get lost."

After his friend left, she was about to leave too, but Lu Jin grabbed her and pulled her close.

He was so close that his scent surrounded her at once.

"Why aren't you smiling now that he's gone? Want him to be your brother that badly?"

"Or... do you just hate me that much?"

After the college entrance exams, the room at the far end of the second floor was empty.

As if possessed, Zhou Qi went inside, searching for traces of her having been there.

But there was nothing except a note hidden in the gap inside a drawer.

"Chen Sui likes Zhou Qi."

He breathed in the scent of the handwriting, as if he could recall her scent from it.

Picking up a pen, he added a line beneath it:

"Silly girl, hide well and pray Zhou Qi doesn't find you."

What would he do after he found her? First, make her repeat the words on the note.

No... a hundred times.

[He didn't want her to call him big brother, because he wanted to be more than just her brother.]
