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

Love is about freedom, not confinement, and certainly not kidnapping.


Jiang Li's greatest concern was always what Liang Zhouyue truly felt inside. Now that he had received her resolute reply, all his previous worries ceased to be obstacles.


Five days later, Jiang Li went abroad, with London being his first stop,


which was the same place where he had participated in his first racing competition two years ago.


At that time, Liang Zhouyue could only walk slowly in the hospital; she wasn't able to see him off. And Chen Dan, that busybody, was recently bogged down by romantic troubles and didn't have the time to come say goodbye either.


Jiang Li drove himself to the airport and before leaving, he sent Liang Zhouyue a message.


"We have seven races; wait for me to win the championship, and then we'll get married."
