Why Do You Think I'll Like You Forever?

Because of a promise made in childhood, Chen Lu pursued the girl he grew up with for a full seven years. But in the end, all he got was a cold rejection.

Chen Lu smiled in relief, but his heart was as dead as ashes... until he met a sweet, well-behaved girl who came to thank him.

The girl was pure and beautiful, standing alone in the rain —

at the place where the two of them had agreed to meet.

"Why didn’t you leave..."

The girl slowly raised her head. "I was waiting for you."

"It’s raining this hard, and I’m this late. You should have just left."

"I promised you."

"Then why not go inside to avoid the rain?"

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

From that moment on, Chen Lu’s HP never fully recovered.

The girl was clearly a social phobic in public, but when she teased him, every line was a critical hit, showing no mercy at all.

When the childhood sweetheart next door finally realized how good Chen Lu was and decided to start pursuing him, the socially anxious girl rarely turned forceful and said, "He’s my boyfriend now."

"The deep affection you look down on is being cherished by someone else."

...

"Could you reveal who pursued whom first?"

"Actually, for a very long time, I always thought I was the one who pursued her..." Chen Lu turned to look at the gorgeous girl beside him, and they smiled at each other.

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