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

The afterglow of the setting sun fell on the vast expanse of the river, casting floating shadows on the clear lake water.


Jiang Li drove out from his home, advancing along the artificial lake in Central Park to pick up Chen Dan, that friend of his who was adept at causing more trouble than solving.


He thought Chen Dan was being melodramatic—the car was broken, and he didn't even call a taxi, but directly asked him to pick him up.


But he was indeed too bored; now his days consisted only of driving practice in the morning and sleeping in the afternoon. The monotonous days passed quickly, each new day a repeat of the last.


Lost in thought, Jiang Li's car had unconsciously arrived at the address Chen Dan had left in a phone call.


However, he did not see Chen Dan at the entrance of the shopping mall, so he took out his phone to call him. Just as the dial tone started, someone knocked on the car window beside the driver's seat.
