I’m Nice to Them! How Does That Mean I Like Them? Ha!

Liang Yi, gentle as water; Yan Jiahui, lively and full of surprises; and Liu Ruyan, his childhood sweetheart. After his first love broke up with him, saying, “We’re not right for each other,” he climbed over the school wall and was hit by a car, sent flying more than ten meters. His eighteen years of life came to an abrupt end. When he opened his eyes again, he was in the maternity ward of Kyoto’s top private hospital, reborn as the Lu family’s grandson, Lu Shiyan. His father, Lu Zhengze, was a ruthless tycoon whose sharp tongue was matched only by his fortune. The first thing he said while holding his son was, “Why does he look like a little monkey?” His mother, Shen Jingshu, worked in education. Cool and gentle, she was the only person in the family who could make her husband shut up. His aunt, Lu Miao, was loud and carefree, with no filter. From the day of his full-month celebration, she started teaching her nephew how to talk back to his dad. With looks, brains, and family background all top-tier from the start, he soon began his school life. At the Liu family’s hundred-day celebration, a little girl in a red bellyband crawled all the way across the play mat and wrapped both arms around his ankle. From that day on, Liu Ruyan was like a nail driven into his life: she followed him to kindergarten, followed him to preschool, and on the morning of his first-grade registration, showed up by his bed and chattered until he got up. Even when Lu Shiyan wasn’t at Qinghua High School during their high school years, she didn’t make a fuss. She simply waited quietly for him. What will happen when he returns to Binhai High School sixteen years later? What kind of story will unfold between him and the three girls? He was only being kind to them, but they thought he liked them. His ambiguous attitude eventually led to tragedy. But a gentle, refined upperclasswoman saw what was on the boy’s mind. She left with grace, respecting herself and refusing to cling to him.
