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 Li returned from the racetrack that evening, just as Liang Zhouyue had finished making dinner.


When he walked in, she hurriedly urged him, "You're just in time, go wash your hands and come eat."


Jiang Li was a bit tired that day and didn't have his usual slick tongue, but simply nodded and walked into the restroom.


Five minutes later, the two sat opposite each other at the dining table.


Jiang Li's honest confession dropped the dinner atmosphere to freezing, as it was blatantly apparent from Liang Zhouyue's face that her mood had soured.


She looked up, her eyes appraising, "And then? Have you fallen for her?"


Though already very tired, Jiang Li was still provoked by her teasing, a look of helpless indulgence crossing his face.


He lazily met her gaze, his tone nonchalant, "Were would I have the energy to fall for someone else, huh?"


Liang Zhouyue snorted softly and turned her head slightly away.
