Nan Ya, as the most beautiful woman in town, every move she made was closely watched. She was the impulse many men dreamed of, and the public enemy that women envied and were jealous of. Although Nan Ya tried hard to live in this small-town society filled with familiar violence, rumors about her promiscuous private life intensified. She became an object of universal condemnation, further giving Xu Yi a reason for domestic violence.

When everyone was questioned by the police, their evaluations of Nan Ya varied, pushing the evil of human nature to the extreme. Only Zhou Luo truly felt sorry for Nan Ya. From his tone and expression, one could see the forbearance and love. When Zhou Luo mentioned Nan Ya, it was as if he was narrating a story, slowly telling of his and Nan Ya's encounter. Time rewinds to eight months ago.

April in Qingshui Town was full of spring, peaceful and serene, but Zhou Luo's return stirred up waves. Back then, Zhou Luo was admitted to a prestigious university with excellent grades, and his parents were proud of him. They set up a banquet in their yard to treat relatives and friends, praising him to everyone they met. However, only a few months later, the news of Zhou Luo dropping out of school quickly spread, shocking everyone.

Returning to this tiny Qingshui Town, Zhou Luo suffered much criticism from his neighbors. His mother, Lin Guixiang, was worried and unable to sleep at night, sitting alone in the yard in a daze, making Zhou Luo feel terrible. His parents remained silent for several days, finally taking the opportunity to ask Zhou Luo about his future plans. Zhou Luo said that he wanted to stay in Qingshui Town to look after the shop.

This decision made his parents uneasy, so they hurriedly sought out Principal Zhang Huashan to discuss countermeasures. After much deliberation, they decided to have Zhou Luo retake the college entrance examination. Soon, Zhou Luo was arranged to enter Huashan High School for the retake program, where he met Chen Jun and others who were also retaking the exam. Qingshui Town was too small, so small that it was often forgotten by the world.

If you were to pick it up and shake it, you would only end up covered in dust. And students like them, flamboyant and with poor grades, were no different from dust in the eyes of the teachers, especially the maverick Zhou Luo, who became an oddity in the eyes of the teachers.

Because Zhou Luo's academic performance had always been among the best, Zhang Huashan had high hopes for him, instructing the teachers to give him more privileges and attention, so as to make the students jealous, stimulate competition, and improve everyone's academic performance. That night, Chen Jun and others took Zhou Luo to eat at a food stall, formally inviting him to join their "not love learning" little group. Zhang Qingli was the principal's daughter.

She had already been admitted to a university, but was forced to retake the exam because the school was not a top-tier one. Although Zhang Qingli was rebellious and especially liked to go against her father, the moment she saw Zhou Luo, she suddenly felt somewhat fortunate to stay at school and retake the exam. From then on, her heart was filled with admiration for him.

In the days that followed, Zhou Luo became friends with Chen Jun, Zhang Qingli, and Jiang Bingbing. Their monotonous life became more joyful, and one day during the summer vacation, a stunning figure broke into his world. Nan Ya opened a clothing store called "Zi Jin" in the town. The first time Zhou Luo passed by, he was attracted by Nan Ya, and her every move was captivating.

However, in this town, no one but Zhou Luo was unfamiliar with Nan Ya. Just mentioning her would arouse men's fantasies and women's contemptuous glares and curses. Although Zhou Luo had heard a lot, he was slightly surprised when he saw the neighbors attacking her with vile words.

They believed that the clothes Nan Ya made were all sent to the city to be sold to prostitutes to attract business; they also said that if male customers went to her store, there must be something fishy going on, that she was a seductress even before she got married, and that she didn't behave like a virtuous woman even after she got married and had children.

Nan Ya seemed to turn a deaf ear, deliberately spilling the vegetable basket and pressing the busybody's skirt onto a chair nail, embarrassing her in public. This scene was all seen by Zhou Luo. At lunchtime, the weather was as hot as an oven, and the streets were deserted. Nan Ya, wearing an elegant qipao, stood outside a video store, instantly waking up Zhou Luo, who was feeling a little sleepy.

He nervously and awkwardly introduced her to the song cassettes. After Nan Ya left with her daughter, Zhou Luo's eyes fell on the sweat on his arm. Recalling the scene just now, he was still moved. Chen Jun's evaluation of Nan Ya was equally negative. He admitted that it was ungentlemanly for men to hit women, but he firmly believed that Nan Ya cheated on her husband first.

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Luo retorted in a displeased tone. Chen Jun spoke of this unfounded defamation as a matter of course, without feeling the slightest inappropriateness throughout the entire process, and Zhou Luo's mood was inexplicably clouded. On the third day after the incident, the police preliminarily determined that the car was set on fire intentionally.

Lin Fanglu discovered a suspicious point in the eyewitness Zhou Luo's testimony - he had an hour and a half of unaccounted-for whereabouts. Lao Chen strongly vouched for Zhou Luo's good character, saying that this case definitely had nothing to do with him.

That night, Lin Fanglu chatted with Zhou Luo, discovering that there were many detective novels in his room, so he deliberately brought up a crime topic to guide him, but Zhou Luo didn't take the bait at all, and his expression was calm and flawless. After Lin Fanglu left, Zhou Luo tightly closed his eyes, as if he had returned to that summer.

In the evening, Zhou Luo lingered outside Xu's house, when he suddenly heard vulgar scolding and intermittent tearing sounds coming from inside. Curiosity drove him to climb over the wall, where he saw the tables and chairs in the yard were crooked and askew, Nan Ya's hair was disheveled, and her qipao was tattered. Afterwards, Zhou Luo ran home in a panic and locked himself in his room, his mind full of Nan Ya's seductive body, and he could only calm his mood by taking a cold shower.
