【A meek and soft little pity living under someone else's roof x a cold, love-starved, irritable brute】

Meng Xi lived at Lu Yu's house for four years. From the second year of junior high to the third year of senior high. They were in close proximity every day, yet lived like strangers.

She became an orphan after a car accident, living silently and cautiously by relying on the past affection between the Meng and Lu families.

In the huge villa, with dozens of rooms, Meng Xi and Lu Yu lived in corners farthest apart from each other.

Lu Yu was cold, irritable, loved fighting, and had countless admirers around him. Meng Xi was gentle, well-behaved, loved studying, and her life revolved around school and home.

She thought life would continue peacefully and predictably. Meng Xi would get into her dream university and work hard to repay the Meng family. Lu Yu would accept his family's arrangements and become the sole heir to the company.

The calm was broken on a stormy, thundering night. The small Meng Xi dragged the blood-soaked Lu Yu home and nervously took care of him for a whole night.

From then on, she entered his heart and became the only antidote to his irritability.

-

When his condition acted up, he suffered unbearable headaches and was on the verge of going mad. But as long as Meng Xi was by his side, gently saying, "Lu Yu, it doesn't hurt, let me blow on it," he would lose his soul.

Pre-collection — "Unbearable"

Song Zhen's background changed, and she moved from a wealthy district to an old neighborhood, where she often saw a man on the rooftop. The man had a devilishly handsome face, a cold and distant expression, and a nearly burnt-out cigarette between his fingers. On the dusty rooftop, the red tip of the cigarette flickered in the twilight.

He had the appearance of someone dissolute and worldly, yet Song Zhen sensed a loneliness about him. As she hung clothes to dry, she stole glances. The man seemed to sense it, extinguished his cigarette, turned his head, and chuckled lowly, "What are you looking at, brother? Brother isn't a good person."

Later, on a stormy night, Song Zhen left in a rush, coincidentally seeing the man next door entangled with his ex. On an impulse, she helped him resolve the trouble. The man took her in for the night, and she learned his name was Pei Yi.

*

In the beginning, Pei Yi only saw Song Zhen as a sister with a poignant background. He took care of her, mostly out of pity.

When a friend teased him, asking, "Young Master Pei, it seems the little sister likes you. She's so pretty, why not give it a try?" Pei Yi carelessly flicked his lighter and casually replied, "The sister is young and doesn't understand social norms, and I do? The girl is only eighteen, would you be with a beast like me?"

"Aren't you an adult? I saw you taking her to college last time..."

*

Song Zhen knew she was never Pei Yi's type. He was the center of attention, surrounded by countless women, none of whom stayed for more than six months. People said Pei Yi never fell for any woman; they were just going through the motions, each getting what they needed.

A man like that didn't need love, just someone sensible. But Song Zhen didn't understand what "sensible" meant, nor did she ever intend to. She liked Pei Yi, but that was as far as it went.

She just didn't expect that later, Pei Yi would indeed become that "beast."

On a cold, snow-filled winter rooftop, Song Zhen leaned against the icy wall, her body tightly held within his windbreaker. With an extremely possessive posture, he rained down kisses upon her. Pei Yi's throat tightened, and his voice was hoarse: "Zhen Zhen, can brother regret it?"
