Bend

Lu Shu is moving out. Her friend warned her beforehand that the roommate she\'d be sharing with had flawless skin and stunning looks—truly breathtaking—but a bit of an icy personality. On her first night there, Lu Shu got soaked to the bone in the rain and forgot her keys, leaving her awkwardly knocking at the door. When it opened, the \"aloof roommate\" her friend described stood before her, draped only in a towel, her figure slender and graceful. Lu Shu was dumbfounded. She was indeed breathtakingly beautiful. Too bad... That face belonged to Pei Zhixi. *** Both Lu Shu and Pei Zhixi rose to fame through classical dance. That year, Lu Shu was “exposed” for a messy private life, mocked as a fake angel with a green tea personality. Meanwhile, Pei Zhixi swept every major award, becoming the ethereal classical dance goddess in everyone\'s eyes. Lu Shu always felt she and Pei Zhixi shared a \"deep, twisted fate.\" They trained together since childhood yet became rivals for over two decades, constantly clashing and disliking each other. In their youth, Pei Zhixi would tutor her while teasing: \"Lu Shu, you\'re hopelessly clueless. How many times do I have to explain this?\" Later, Lu Shu could never have imagined... Pei Zhixi would kiss her while teasing her, her eyes and voice soft: \"Lu Shu, you\'re hopelessly clueless. Do you even know how to kiss?\" She resisted half-heartedly, \"Say that again and I won\'t let you kiss me.\" *** When Lu Shu met Pei Zhixi again, she was like a dying ember. But Pei Zhixi was dry kindling. ------------------------- Title: 折腰 Author: 清汤涮香菜 Link: https://www.jjwxc.net/onebook.php?novelid=5386752 -------------------------- Disclaimer: This is an unofficial, non-commercial translation created for reading purposes only.
