A Breath of Sweet Oxygen

The first time Cen Xi met Tan Yuzhou, he was so startled that his voice went completely off pitch. It was the second most embarrassing moment of Tan Yuzhou’s life, as far back as he could remember. After a minute of fumbling and stalling, he finally managed to blurt out, “Why are you at my house?” Cen Xi gazed at the handsome boy standing before her with deep blue eyes and answered earnestly, “I came back with Aunt Tan.” Luckily, Mrs. Tan soon cleared up the misunderstanding with a few words, then hurried out, leaving the two of them staring at each other. “Cen Xi?” “Mm.” With that brief exchange, the gears of fate began to turn. The story that followed was probably about how the person who threw him off balance the moment they met became the greatest source of peace in the rest of his life. Later, at a luxury shopping mall in Aomen. Tan Yuzhou watched helplessly as Cen Xi picked out cufflinks for her “big brother, whom she’d grown up with.” She held the delicate silver piece between her fingers, turning it this way and that, utterly absorbed. He was jealous. So jealous his back teeth were practically itching. “I want some too.” Cen Xi looked up, puzzled. “But you don’t even have a suit.” Tan Yuzhou lowered his head to look at her, his gaze burning. The next second, he grabbed her wrist and strode into the bespoke suit shop next door. “Now I do.” Tan Yuzhou: I never knew someone’s eyes could be as deep as the sea, until I drowned in her blue.
