After Escaping Marriage

Cheng Zhanxi ran away from her wedding.

On her first day in Sicheng, she fell in love at first sight with a woman. Her studio was soon filled with paintings of her.

Their second encounter was at a bar, where the woman took the initiative to invite her to spend the night together.

Cheng Zhanxi: “Miss, I’m a decent person.”

Yu Qingtang turned and walked away without a word.

Cheng Zhanxi: “…Wait, please!”

After a night of passion, Yu Qingtang vanished without a trace.

Upon learning that the woman was a high school math teacher at Sicheng No. 1 High School, Cheng Zhanxi joined the school as a physical education teacher.

“Ms. Yu, would you like to watch a movie with me tonight?”

“Too busy.”

“Then should I give my class tomorrow to the English teacher?”

“What time tonight?”

…

Later, Cheng Zhanxi went to apologize to her fiancée, whom she had never met before. Arriving at the agreed-upon restaurant, she found her girlfriend, Yu Qingtang—the same woman she had parted with at her doorstep that morning—sitting across the table.

Yu Qingtang’s gaze was playful, almost teasing.

“Ms. Cheng, what a coincidence.”

“…”

??? Did I just cuckold myself?

The girlfriend I worked so hard to chase turned out to be the fiancée I ran away from.

Cheng Zhanxi, the person in question: Right now, all I feel is regret. Deep, deep regret.

『The tides are destined to surge for the moon, just as I am destined to fall for you.』
