Volume One, Chapter Three: The More I Think, the More Restless I Become

Everyone pricked up their ears, eager to hear the true feelings of the formidable Fu Yunzhen.

Memories surged over Fu Yunzhen like a tidal wave.

On graduation day, she stretched out her fair, slender legs to block Fu Yunzhen from leaving. After all the classmates had gradually dispersed, Fu Yunzhen extended his long arms, lifted her, and placed her on his thigh.

With one hand supporting her slender waist and the other clasping her delicate, fair neck, he forcefully and dominantly stole her first kiss.

It was the height of midsummer in scorching July; the sunlight was dazzling and harsh, and the sweltering heat had raised the temperature inside the classroom considerably.

Inside the classroom, Qiao Nian’an, the girl being forcefully kissed by the boy in the white shirt, was like a startled bird. At the slightest sound of cicadas, her whole body trembled lightly, her fingertips nervously gripping his hair.

Damn it!

The more she thought about it, the more restless she became!

Fu Yunzhen’s eyes were bloodshot, his sexy throat rolling as he downed a cup of wine from the table in one gulp.

It wasn’t just Fu Yunzhen who was reminiscing. Even Qiao Nian’an, who was playing the piano, couldn’t help but recall the treasured memories in her heart when she heard the class monitor ask about Fu Yunzhen’s first kiss.

At graduation, she had mustered the courage to ask Fu Yunzhen to write in her yearbook, but instead, she stretched out her foot to block him. After the classmates left, before she could react, he had already lifted her to sit on his thigh. He was even mischievous enough to scare her by pretending someone was coming, making her snuggle into his arms every time.

In that vast classroom, they kissed for a long, long time—so long that they nearly lost control before finally stopping...

Everyone around stared at Fu Yunzhen.

“Everyone knows Fu Yunzhen is a famously cold and aloof ice prince...”

“Yeah, there’s no way Fu Yunzhen has lost his first kiss yet.”

“I bet Fu Yunzhen has never even dated before...”

Fu Yunzhen’s words shattered everyone’s assumptions. “I have.”

As soon as he spoke, everyone looked at Fu Yunzhen in disbelief.

He’s dated?

The class monitor, trembling slightly, asked, “You’ve dated? Then when did you lose your first kiss?”

“At the end of senior year,” Fu Yunzhen said, his deep gaze falling on the woman playing the piano not far away.

“She grabbed my collar and kissed me.”

He wanted to see how long she could keep pretending.

Qiao Nian’an, speechless, expressed her anger through the piano, her fingers flying swiftly over the keys.

Though she had been the one to seduce him first, it was clearly his forceful kiss.

Yet in her mind floated the boy’s clean, handsome face from high school, and after graduation, they had secretly tasted forbidden fruit...

“Fu Yunzhen, you really have dated? Then when did you lose your first kiss?”

Everyone was burning with curiosity!

Who had been sharp-eyed enough to steal Fu Yunzhen’s first kiss in high school and become his first love?

It had to be known that Fu Yunzhen was no longer the poor boy he used to be.

Now he stood at the pinnacle of the social pyramid, with even more to come.

Hearing this, Fu Yunzhen set down his cup. “A deceitful woman who only wanted to use me.”

The class monitor frowned. “What? Fu Yunzhen, you got dumped? That can’t be... You’re the school’s legend—the campus heartthrob and genius... Who could be so blind as to let you go?”

Seizing the moment, the class monitor pressed on, “Fu Yunzhen, you’re confessing to having dated because you want to rekindle things with your ex, right?”

“I came back to get revenge on her!”

Huo Jianting couldn’t stand it anymore. “I think you just want to use revenge as an excuse to love her again.”

Fu Yunzhen sneered coldly. “Love?”

Suddenly rising, he walked to the piano stand. His sharply defined fingers played a few notes on the black and white keys, his deep eyes drawing Qiao Nian’an’s attention.

His tone was cold and threatening. “If she dares dump me again, I’ll kill her!”

His fingers inadvertently brushed against her; Qiao Nian’an flinched as if shocked, her throat tightening.

Everyone sighed.

They turned to Huo Jianting. “Jianting, you’re close to Fu Yunzhen—you must know who stole his first kiss. Tell us, who is it?”

The subtle movements of the two performing on stage were all noted by Huo Jianting.

He was the only one aware of Fu Yunzhen and Qiao Nian’an’s secret relationship.

It was because once, when he had forgotten his ID and returned to the classroom, he caught Fu Yunzhen holding a beautiful girl on his thigh, kissing her.

This thigh-sitting scene had often been witnessed by him even in college.

Fu Yunzhen learned piano with Qiao Nian’an sitting on his thigh.

During their two years together, Fu Yunzhen had been as loyal as a dog, cherishing and doting on Qiao Nian’an to no end.

Unfortunately, in their sophomore year, Qiao Nian’an heartlessly broke up with him. No matter how much Fu Yunzhen begged and pleaded, he couldn’t win her back.

And when Fu Yunzhen went out looking for Qiao Nian’an, he was involved in a car accident.

He was in critical condition for over a day and night and remained unconscious for more than a month. Qiao Nian’an never showed up to see him.

When Fu Yunzhen finally woke, he sought her out.

He waited a long time for her to come but she never did. In a fit of anger, he blocked all her contact information.

Huo Jianting shrugged, feigning ignorance. “I just heard he’s dated.”

Who would dare gossip about Fu Yunzhen’s private life?

The bright light shone glaringly on Fu Yunzhen’s handsome face.

He remained calm.

Fu Yunzhen cast a deep glare at Qiao Nian’an. After a moment, he stood and walked out.

Huo Jianting followed.

Everyone watched Fu Yunzhen leave silently, exchanging puzzled looks.

In the large private room, they speculated on who had stolen Fu Yunzhen’s first kiss.

The class monitor organizing the reunion suddenly asked, “Do you remember Qiao Nian’an, the heiress from the Hong Kong circle?”

Qiao Nian’an, originally unsettled, furrowed her brows slightly hearing her name mentioned.

“The one who flaunted her wealth like a peacock and pressured the handsome poor boy into being her secret boyfriend?”

“Yeah, that’s her. Publicly, she claimed she was helping poor classmates, but in reality, she was secretly hunting for poor campus heartthrobs, playing risky games!”

“I heard she dropped out in sophomore year, and some classmates even saw her working as a hostess in bars...”

“The heiress turned fallen rich girl—no wonder she never comes to reunions anymore. Turns out she’s a hostess now, hahaha...”

“Maybe this is the karma for her seducing poor boys!”

In the room, Qiao Nian’an became the subject of gossip—some mocking, some sighing, some taking schadenfreude.

Mentioning poor students, everyone immediately thought of Fu Yunzhen.

Before his ancestry was acknowledged, he was the poorest student.

So poor that his shoes were discarded rubber shoes picked from the trash.

He nearly couldn’t even afford plain rice.

Among the impoverished students, Fu Yunzhen’s appearance was the most striking—handsomer and more elegant than many celebrities, yet completely unapproachable!

Like a noble prince from the slums.

Surely Qiao Nian’an had also secretly tried to seduce Fu Yunzhen?

An inconspicuous female classmate spoke up, “Haven’t you heard a secret?”

“What secret?”

“Among the poor students Qiao Nian’an tried to lure was Fu Yunzhen. They’ve been together secretly since graduating high school, maintaining a secret relationship until sophomore year.”

As soon as she said this, everyone was stunned.

They quickly turned to Wen Yusi for confirmation.

“Wen Yusi, you used to be Qiao Nian’an’s follower. Is this true?”

“Wen Yusi, was Qiao Nian’an really Fu Yunzhen’s first love?”
