Someone Like You, or You

Many people were waiting to see Liao Qingyan make a fool of herself.

Everyone knew her family had gone bankrupt years ago, that she no longer belonged to this social circle. The only reason she stubbornly refused to leave, people assumed, was because she had once been Zhou Jin’s first love back in high school. She was trying to gamble on their old connection and pull off a carp-leaping-the-dragon-gate miracle. But the Zhou family’s threshold was not something an ordinary person could ever cross.

At one gathering, Zhou Jin was planning to propose. And the intended was naturally not Liao Qingyan.

A torrential rain poured down from nowhere. Rides were impossible to find. And her dress got stained.

Liao Qingyan waited in a pavilion for the rain to stop. A car pulled up. In the back seat sat Bo Sinian. The true center of their circle.

Perhaps seeing how miserable and bedraggled she looked, Bo Sinian politely asked if she needed help.

Liao Qingyan laughed. “If you really want to help, how about sleeping with me?”
