Xuan Huaifeng hated that person so much. Harassed him when he was a classmate, and bullied him when he was a boss. If that guy hadn't used some method to sneak into his room and spend the night, he wouldn't have been forced to study in England by his father, and he wouldn't have been separated from the person he really liked.

His father, who was the commander of one party, fell down, and he also changed from a handsome noble son to a shy teacher. Just when he tasted the warmth and coldness of the world and was hit one after another, the person he liked did not appear, but that person did. That person──an old classmate from back then, now the powerful customs chief, Bai Xuelan.
