What Makes You Think I'll Keep Liking You Forever?

[Everyday Romance][Single Female Lead][Mutual Salvation]

Because of a childhood promise, Chen Lu spent seven whole years pursuing the girl he had grown up with. In the end, all he got was a cold rejection.

Chen Lu smiled in resignation, but his heart had turned to ashes... until he met a sweet, endearingly innocent girl who had come to thank him.

The girl was pretty and pure, standing alone in the rain-

At the place where they had agreed to meet.

"Why didn't you leave...?"

The girl slowly raised her head. "I had to wait for you."

"It's pouring, and I'm so late. You should have just left."

"I promised you."

"Then why didn't you go inside to get out of the rain?"

"I... I was afraid you wouldn't be able to find me."

From that day on, Chen Lu's HP bar was never full again.

Around other people, the girl was clearly socially anxious, yet when she flirted with him, every hit was a critical strike. She showed no mercy.

When his childhood sweetheart from next door finally realized how wonderful Chen Lu was and decided to pursue him,

The socially anxious girl stood her ground for once. "He's my boyfriend now."

"The devotion you scorned will always find someone else to cherish it."

"Could you tell us which of you pursued the other first?"

"Actually, for a long time, I thought I was the one pursuing her..." Chen Lu turned to look at the stunning girl beside him, and they shared a smile.

"But I forgot that the best hunters often appear as prey."
