Summary

[Seven years apart + "sworn enemies" loving and fighting + chasing-the-wife crematorium + sweet story]

Seven years later they meet again, and neither wants to bring up the "grudges" of their youth.

She says lightly that she's forgotten—hardly a big deal.

At the class reunion a cup of wine settles old scores, and she thinks love and hate will finally end there—never expecting another meeting, another ride the same way, or even another greeting.

She says, "Luo Mingxi, don't tell me you want to rekindle our old flame?"

He is momentarily speechless. "Don't flatter yourself."

I could like anyone, but never you.

Only later does he learn just how badly his own face gets slapped.

He simply doesn't want her to belong to anyone else.

Editor's review

This is a sweet little story that heavily seasons its plot with the "reunion after years apart" and "sworn enemies" tropes. Author Mimi Jinxin doesn't turn seven years into a melodrama; instead, she has the male and female leads meet again at a class reunion—a setting thick with familiar faces and old scores—where one says "hardly a big deal" and the other won't yield an inch. Yet every "ride the same way" turns out to be pointedly intentional. The core appeal is watching the two go from stubborn denial to one of them being the first to "slap his own face." The pacing is brisk, the dialogue volleys back and forth, and it's well suited for a commute, bedtime, or a weekend afternoon as an easy emotional diversion. Readers who enjoy evenly matched bickering and the anticipation of who will be first to relent will find plenty of passages to smile at.

Who it's for

A good fit for

  • Romance readers who enjoy reunion-after-years-apart and class-reunion plots
  • Readers of light sweet stories who prefer bickering leads and watching who caves first
  • People who want an easy urban emotional read for the commute or bedtime
  • Web-fiction readers who look forward to the "chasing-the-wife crematorium" and face-slapping reversals

Not a good fit for

  • Readers who prefer weighty realistic subject matter or serious literary fiction
  • Readers tired of the "sworn enemies" style of saying one thing and meaning another
  • Readers expecting complex social issues or deep character analysis

Reading tips

  1. Start with the class-reunion chapters in chronological order to get a feel for how hard they both hold their ground, then keep going
  2. When you reach "ride the same way" or "another greeting," watch the male lead's words and actions diverge—the face-slapping lands harder that way
  3. Best read two or three chapters a night as bedtime relaxation; no need to binge
  4. When you hit a volley of banter, pause and think about who fell first—it makes the reading more engaging

FAQ

Is this book sweet or angsty?
From the material it looks like a sweet-story route, centered on loving-and-fighting after a reunion and a chasing-the-wife crematorium. The leads won't give an inch verbally but actually care for each other; the overall tone is light rather than angsty.
Can I read this directly without having read the author's other works?
Yes. The story begins at the class reunion seven years later, and the relationships and backstory are revealed as the plot unfolds. It doesn't depend on other works, so new readers can start here without difficulty.
What's the dynamic between the male and female leads?
It's a "sworn enemies" style of saying one thing and meaning another: she says lightly that she's forgotten, he insists "don't flatter yourself," yet repeated rides the same way and greetings expose his real feelings. It's the type where the face-slapping builds gradually through banter.
Is it better to binge it or read it slowly?
Either works. The plot is brisk and dialogue-dense, so you can read straight through if you want to finish; but each chapter has small, frequent conflicts, so reading in sessions doesn't hurt continuity—a few chapters at bedtime is a good fit.
