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

Nature, after all, is romantic, and that day Beijing welcomed its first snow of the year, also known as the first snow.


The first snow symbolizes the first pure love. If lovers witness the first snow together, they will always be happy together.


Liang Zhouyue was a staunch materialist, but she willingly indulged in a little superstition with this belief.


Through the huge floor-to-ceiling window, her gaze outside softened into tenderness, showing deep contentment.


Jiang Li lowered his head to sip his coffee, and when he lifted his eyelashes, he noticed Liang Zhouyue watching the snowy scene outside the window.


He made no sound, simply unlocking his phone, switching to camera mode, and took a snapshot of Liang Zhouyue's beautiful and tranquil profile.


But Jiang Li hadn't expected, since he rarely took photos, the camera to make a shutter sound when taking the picture.


With a click, Liang Zhouyue turned her head swiftly.
