Recklessly in His Heart

In her senior year of high school, Jiang Mengzhu's family took in a transfer student.

He barely spoke, and his gaze was cold and distant whenever he looked at her.

But Jiang Mengzhu knew he rescued stray cats, that he was handsome and aloof, and that beneath his gloomy exterior was a warm heart.

Later, she chased Nie Zeyuan everywhere. Everyone at Hucheng No. 1 High School knew about it, as did everyone around him: he had a girlfriend who adored him wholeheartedly, always wearing her heart on her sleeve even when he didn't return her feelings.

Then she realized she had mistaken him for someone else.

His heart had always been cold.

When she heard news about her father over the phone, Jiang Mengzhu finally came to her senses, turned around, and let go.

Nie Zeyuan, let's break up.

-

Before coming to Hucheng, Nie Zeyuan had never imagined he would meet a girl so bold and bright.

Again and again, she told him she liked him.

At first, Nie Zeyuan thought she was just like any other girl and paid her no mind.

Later, he kept breaking every rule he'd set for himself, clawing his way out of the mud until he stood at the top.

All just to make her look back at him once.

-

"I know I was wrong to break up with you so suddenly," she said.

"But all of a sudden, I didn't want to reach for the moon in the sky anymore. I wanted to keep my feet firmly on the ground. Flowers will bloom along your road too, Nie Zeyuan." Jiang Mengzhu smiled.

But Nie Zeyuan was beside himself with anguish.

Bullshit.

He told her, "Without you, no matter where I go from now on, it's all downhill."
