Unleashing Spring

When Shang Yu first found Jiang Si, the young girl had spent years wandering and was so afraid of going hungry that she would stuff herself with anything she could get her hands on. “When you feel it getting tight around your waist, you have to stop eating. Otherwise, I’ll throw you away.” He tied a loose, thin red cord around her waist, calling it a good-luck charm. She wore it for the rest of her life. - As the CEO of Shengshi Group, Third Master Shang’s lifelong abstinence from women, lasting 28 years, was a mystery to everyone. Until someone spotted him taking care of Jiang Si. “Is she your girlfriend?” “No.” “The way you look at her is anything but innocent.” When she was kidnapped on a trip overseas, he went to save her. When the storybook she loved most went missing, he went to find it. But he still wouldn’t say he liked her. - On a midsummer night, thunder roared as his old illness flared up. He pressed a dazed kiss to the thin red cord around her waist. “You’ve kept wearing it all this time. Do you like it that much?” “I forgot to throw it away.” After half a month of caring for him around the clock, they finally crossed the last line. When he woke, he took responsibility. “Jiang Si, let’s give this a try.” She got what she had wished for. - Later, Shang Yu fell hopelessly in love with Jiang Si, his beloved Sisi, and couldn’t sleep at night unless he held her. His friends teased him. “Third Master, what will you do if the little rose you show off to everyone wilts someday?” He smiled. “She won’t wilt. She’s nine years younger than me. I’m the one who worries every day that she’ll think I’m old and dump me.” - Jiang Si grew wild and untamed, covered in thorns. But in front of her “caretaker,” she was a gentle, innocent little white flower. When she heard that he had been struck from the family register and thrown out of his home, she appeared out of nowhere, took him home, and locked him in the basement. “This time, I’ll take care of you.”
