Seventeen Vine Moon

Jiang Li first met Liang Zhou Yue while she was uncomfortably dressed in a gown, hiding in his resting room to adjust her attire. 
Seeing him, she became so nervous that she couldn't pull up the zipper, her embarrassment palpable. 
That day, Jiang Li felt an unusual tug at his heartstrings and helped her with the zipper twice. 
Upon their next encounter, he was the campus prince, and she was everyone's darling. 
He played basketball on the field, while she, in her flowing dress, sat in her boyfriend's passenger seat. 
It was then that Jiang Li understood he had to see things through to the bitter end. 
To seize love forcefully, to take advantage of her vulnerability. 
After all, such a beautiful woman should naturally belong to him. 

Liang Zhou Yue never thought she would be liked by a man five years her junior. 
He was rebellious, cold, proud, and remote, but he always responded to her every request. 
On a hot summer day, Liang Zhou Yue was stopped by a downpour at the entrance of the teaching building, with swirling filthy water and sludge on the steps below. 
As she worried about how to return to her dorm, a man's rigid spine bent in front of her. 
Jiang Li's tone was always so languid, casually stirring distress: "Sister, I'm afraid you're scared. I especially came to carry you home today." 
In that moment, Jiang Li, who had never gotten close to a girl before, submitted to her before everyone.

Deliberate Infatuation

Jiang Yun's words stirred up huge waves, and Wu Tong, sitting on the opposite sofa, looked up at him with a warning in her eyes.


Jiang Li had clearly told them not to speak about this matter. Now that Jiang Yun had brought it up with the family elders, wasn't he undermining Jiang Li behind his back?


Seeing the excitement in Ms. Chu's eyes, Wu Tong felt that things were turning dire, and hurriedly spoke up to cover for Jiang Li, "It's about a woman, but not a girlfriend. Jiang Li told me before he left that he was going with a teacher from their school. Chen Dan went too; there were many people going."


Ms. Chu's tone dropped instantly—she had thought her younger son had found a girlfriend, but it seemed it was too early for that.


In her mind, she subconsciously dismissed the thought; a teacher is a teacher, and could not possibly be considered within the range of Jiang Li's ambiguous relationships. Therefore, she didn't harbor any suspicion.
