Falling In Love (Xi Feng Xiang Wan) 坠落 (西风向晚) by 甜醋鱼 Tian Cu Yu (HE)

 

Everyone at Yangming Middle School knew that Zhou Wan was introverted and reserved, while Lu Xi Xiao was outspoken and unruly. The two were so different that they couldn’t be further apart. No one could have predicted that one day, these two people would stand together.

Then, the rumor changed to something else——
Lu Xi Xiao is the kind of of guy who changes girlfriends one after another, and Zhou Wan happened to look like his first love. It’s just a moment of novelty, and it won’t take long for Lu Xi Xiao to get bored.

As expected, Zhou Wan transferred to another school and left. Lu Xi Xiao returned to his hedonistic ways, as if their relationship had never happened.

Until that night when he was drunk, he called Zhou Wan like crazy. She hung up and he redialed again until Zhou Wan finally picked up. She didn’t speak, and neither did Lu Xi Xiao, as if locked in a battle of wills.

Until Lu Xi Xiao caved in and held on to his last bit of dignity: “Zhou Wan, as long as you say you love me, I will forgive you.”

The girl called him by name in a cold voice: “Lu Xi Xiao.”

Just these three words, Lu Xi Xiao’s eyes turned red.

She said very calmly: “I don’t love you, I have been lying to you.”

In this relationship, Lu Xi Xiao has never been in control. He was the one being played.

After that phone call, they were at loggerheads. Lu Xi Xiao said, Zhou Wan, don’t let me see you again, otherwise I will make you beg me in tears.

The next time they met was in the lively and bustling street full of bars. Lu Xi Xiao was still the same cynical and rebellious rogue. A pretty girl who was lighting a cigarette, was standing next to him.

The moment he saw Zhou Wan, he looked calm, turned his gaze away, and continued chatting with the people around him. As if he had already forgotten her.

Zhou Wan said only three words before all the pretense fell apart.

“Lu Xi Xiao.” Her voice was still as calm and cold as ever.

Lu Xi Xiao threw away his cigarette, strode forward, grabbed Zhou Wan’s collar and pushed the gentle-looking woman against the wall. He was so angry until veins popped out on his forehead.

“Zhou Wan, you still dare to come back, you still dare to come back.”

He smelled of alcohol and tobacco, and he asked word by word through gritted teeth, “Do you want to die?”

*
There will always be someone who loves you with all your splendor and also loves you with all your mud.

On the surface : Good girl x Bad boy
Reality: A heartless woman x A reformed man
