share time: 2025-12-26 06:01:13

Lin Xiaoman and Chen Mo were "best buddies" since they wore diapers—for twenty years, Chen Mo always said "I'll protect you" but never dared to confess his love. Until the night of the bar fight, a stranger named Jiang Ye suddenly stepped in front of her, taking a bottle to the shoulder, and smiled, "What are you afraid of? I'll go crazy with you." In the days that followed, Jiang Ye took her bungee jumping, watched the 4 a.m. sea, and even remembered her offhand comment about "wanting an orange cat". On her birthday night, Chen Mo stood downstairs holding her childhood favorite rabbit plushie, only to see Xiaoman sitting on Jiang Ye's motorcycle, a wild chrysanthemum in her hair, her eyes shining with a light he'd never seen before. When Chen Mo finally choked out his confession, Xiaoman interrupted softly: "Brother Mo, you never asked me 'do you want to'—you only said 'I'll do it for you'. This time, I want to choose the one who makes my heart feel like it's going to explode."
