After the Boy Next Door Knocked on My Door

When Lin Xuran was eighteen, he got into the university of his dreams. Slightly tipsy, he knocked on his neighbor's door, wanting to share the good news.

The door opened.

His neighbor's hair was still damp, her cheeks flushed, her body wreathed in the steam of a fresh bath.

He froze in place, forgetting to breathe.

What happened after that was a blur. He only remembered her cool fingers, his racing heart, and the soft, shuddering sensations of an experience he'd never known before.

In the next instant, six years had passed. He'd gone from a naive college student to a decisive workplace professional.

In other people's eyes, he was always cool and composed. Only he knew that, whenever night fell and all was quiet, those damp, shadowy memories would haunt his dreams again and again, like an addiction he couldn't shake.

Zhang Yuyin had a secret she was too ashamed to tell anyone.

When she was twenty-two, she took the first time of the eighteen-year-old boy next door.

Looking back, she couldn't be blamed entirely.

Who could resist when he'd knocked on her door drunk, wearing so little and looking at her with those dewy eyes? She'd lost control for a moment and...

She regretted it afterward, but it had happened. She couldn't just act like a heartless jerk and walk away, could she?

She'd steeled herself and asked, “Do you want me to take responsibility?”

When he woke up, he was like a startled fawn, head bowed, his exposed ears red enough to drip blood.

So Zhang Yuyin made a run for it, and stayed away for six years.

When she finally came back, she'd somehow become the heartless woman who'd abandoned him???

[Bonus Scene]

The company was abuzz with rumors that the new Mr. Lin was a workaholic who couldn't stand people and always hogged the break room.

But behind the closed door, where no one could see...

Zhang Yuyin was pinned to the sofa, while the unsmiling man from the rumors kissed her fingers inch by inch, his voice pleading:

“This time, don't leave me behind again.”
