Author: Qiao Ke Li A Hua Tian At the gathering of college classmates, in order to collect materials for my new novel, I interviewed a former male classmate, whom I had a crush on for many years.I was drunk that night and talked a lot. At last, I directly asked him, "Why did you break up with the prom queen back in college? Is it for the sake of your physical..."Before I could finish my words, I fell into his arms.When I woke up the next morning, Nathan looked at me with a serious gaze."Do you remember what you did last night?"1"Well..."I stammered. After a while, I finally calmed myself down and said, "As you can see, it was just an accident.""An accident?"He raised his eyebrows slightly and loosened his grip. At the same time, the quilt slipped downward, revealing the blood stains on his collarbone and other parts of his body."Are these done by accident too?"I took a glance at Nathan's beautiful collarbone and found that some blood was seeping out from the

6"Last time at the class reunion, I wanted to go with Nathan at first, but something came up at the laboratory, so I let him go alone."Monica shook her head and appeared to be helpless and said, "I hope he has brought you my greetings to you.""I didn't notice," I said casually. "In the end, everyone else left. Then I talked to Nathan about the past."Monica didn't answer. Instead, she raised her hand and called the waiter over. She ordered two cups of latte and a cup of hot Americano. Then, she gently said to Nathan, "Nathan, you're only used to drinking Americano, right?"I watched her perform coldly. It was not until the waiter served three cups of coffee that I reached out to pick up the one ordered for Nathan. I tilted my head and looked at him with a smile, saying, "I suddenly want to drink Americano. Can I have it, Nathan?"Nathan's eyelids twitched, and he said, "Okay."Then, in front of Monica, I gulped down Nathan's Americano and put the glass with lipstick marks bac

10In the following two months, Nathan visited me a few more times.The dreams that had appeared before my eyes many times in the middle of the night finally turned into reality at this moment.As I swam between dreamland and reality, I gradually felt a sense of confusion, until I was pulled back to reality by Nathan's body temperature.One night, after everything quieted down, I got up wearily, grabbed Nathan's shirt, and casually put it on. Then, I went to the balcony to enjoy the scenery.Nathan folded the quilt, took out a thick velvet cloak, wrapped me in it, and lowered his head to tie it patiently.I took the chance to grab his hand and led him to look in that direction. "Look over there."The moment Nathan tilted his head, there was a beautiful firework in the sky in the distance."Someone set off fireworks over there now and then, and it always lasts for over two hours. It is not cheap. I've searched online and found that the villas over there are exceptionally expensi

14Did Monica really like Nathan?I bet since Monica was born, she had always been able to get whatever she wanted.To her, Nathan was a challenge, and I was an obstacle on her way to success.For her, our lives were just an insignificant game.She was always that arrogant.That night, after listening to Nathan's explanation, I was silent for a long time before I looked up at him again."Nathan," I said. "Let me work with you."I want to lure Monica to trick me. By then, I'll use the chance to catch her weakness. I won't let her destroy my life again."My original plan was to let Monica make things difficult for me again with the help of Sophie.As for me, I had secretly contacted a few authors who had a good relationship with me. I planned to report to the website that Sophie, the director, had accepted bribes, forged the list, and suppressed the new authors...I had prepared to abandon the pen name and the works under this name.But Nathan stopped me.My face was clearly

22When I talked to the editor about the copyright and officially signed the contract, it was almost the end of the year.That morning, I woke up in a daze and picked up a phone call.Then I heard Julia's excited voice come from the other end of the phone. "Jess, watch the morning news, now!""...What?""Watch the morning news. Damn! Nathan is amazing! He is so talented. I can't even believe his existence! Watch it now, Jess!"I sat up in a daze and clicked on the video that Julia just sent me, feeling sleepy.Then I woke up in an instant.It was a short piece of morning news. The general idea was that a graduate student of a famous school would be directly hired as a senior talent because of his breakthrough in technology and tracking algorithm.And this graduate student's name was Nathan Turner.At that moment, I suddenly recalled what Nathan had said before he left my house that afternoon.He said that he would see me soon.Never in my wildest dreams would I have imagine
