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

Because he was still in love, he didn't want to miss this most suitable opportunity.


Jiang Li no longer acted tough in front of Liang Zhou Yue. He put aside his ill-timed pride and chose to gently face his woman. Meanwhile, Liang Zhou Yue also stopped being unreasonable. She let Jiang Li handle Chen Dan's private matters, and the two of them were temporarily busy with their own things.


That afternoon, Ruan Yu called Liang Zhou Yue. Normally giving the impression of a strong woman, she was crying uncontrollably on the phone, begging Liang Zhou Yue to come and keep her company.


Liang Zhou Yue didn't dare ask what happened and quickly changed clothes to go to Ruan Yu's apartment.


Upon entering, she saw bottles and jars strewn about the floor, a complete mess, even including shards of glass from a wine bottle. Ruan Yu stood in the center of the living room in her nightgown, barefoot, with a blank, distant look and unusually swollen, red eyes.
