Synopsis

When I got home from my part-time job, I found the lock on our front door had been changed. No one had told me. I called Mom. She said, completely unconcerned, “We just changed it last week. I simply forgot to tell you. Why are you making such a big deal out of it?” “Your dad and I are helping your sister get settled at college. Your brother even took time off to come. The whole family has finally managed to get together, so stop looking for trouble!” There were five of us in the family. Four had come. She said the whole family was there. A sour ache welled up inside me. I opened my mouth, but nothing came out. There was a pause on the other end, then Mom demanded sternly, “Wait, why are you standing outside the house? Hasn’t senior year already started?” As soon as Dad heard that, he grabbed the phone and started yelling, “Gu Xue, the whole family is running around helping your sister get into college. Fine, you can’t help, but now you’re skipping class and lying about it?” “You’re still going out during your senior year? You really are hopeless.” I was about to explain when I heard my brother shout excitedly on the other end, “Mom, Dad, Xia Xia, forget about her! Come take a family photo!” The call ended abruptly. The words “I’m starting college this year too” caught in my throat. They had all forgotten that my exam score was even higher than Gu Xia’s.

Short and Complete

Short, completed novels, sweet or angsty, age-gap romances are fine too. No idol school stories. Historical or modern settings are both fine. Recommend anything you think is good, but it absolutely has to be short and complete!!!!!

Short Tragic Stories Too Heartbreaking to Reread

I don't want a story where the male lead mindlessly abuses the female lead, only for her to end up with him anyway. Ideally, it should be high quality, and the recommended books should have plenty of romantic interests, with the protagonist getting more beautiful over time. Thanks!
