A Textbook Case of Love

An elementary school teacher with an imagination bigger than the sky / A university professor who acts like a complete jerk

Rekindled romance / Sweet romance / He pursues her

1. After a parent-teacher meeting, she stayed behind to discuss a student’s problems. She never expected to run into the ex-boyfriend she’d dumped, whom she hadn’t seen in ten years. Without thinking, she blurted out,

“Are you here for your son’s parent-teacher meeting?”

The man across from her gave her a mocking look.

“You gave birth to a son that big for me?”

…

2. Xie Cun had been pursuing his ex-girlfriend for nearly two months. For some reason, she was as oblivious as a block of wood.

Then one day, when he invited her out to eat, she asked hesitantly,

“How come I never see you with your partner anymore?”

Xie Cun stared at the person across from him, whose cheeks were stuffed with food, and narrowed his eyes.

“What partner?”

She said,

“I know, you don’t have to be embarrassed. Whenever the two of you go out to eat, you drag me along as a cover.”

Jiang Chi swallowed the last bite of dessert and comforted him.

“People are pretty accepting of relationships between men these days.”

???

3. One day later, Jiang Chi lay on the sofa and asked curiously,

“How come you’ve never had a partner all these years?”

She heard him reply lazily,

“You hurt me too much back then.”
