Hold Me Tight

[A practice version]

[Flirtatious troublemaker Jiang Zai x shy, gentle Su Jiange]

Campus romance / youthful angst / sweet at first, then angsty / BE

Your family isn’t just a passing storm; it’s a lifetime of dampness.

“Jiang Zai: Jiang as in rivers and seas to spend the rest of your life, Zai as in by your side.”

“Su Jiange: Jian as in seeing the light after the clouds part, Ge as in besieged on all sides.”

What sparks will fly when a cocky, shameless king of cheesy pickup lines meets a timid, shy girl with a resilient streak…

Su Jiange opened her phone and nearly blacked out. Someone had changed his nickname in her chat to “boyfriend.”

She asked, “Why are you going through my phone again?”

He protested, “When did I ever go through your phone?”

She said, “Then who changed your nickname in it?”

He tried to fish for information. “Changed it to what?”

She wouldn’t fall for it. “You know perfectly well what you changed it to.”

When his love rival did ten pull-ups and got praised by his crush, he got jealous and angry. In a fit of pique, he went over and did fifteen perfect pull-ups in a row.

He wagged his tail, begging his crush for praise. “Which of us is better?”

His crush, impressed, gave him a thumbs-up. “You are.”

That one compliment from his crush was like flipping a switch for showing off. He wanted to do another fifteen or twenty.
