Name: Just One Gentle Kiss
Author: Brush of Mist

Synopsis

[Scheming, ruthless young master x laid-back, honest college girl]

[Truly crazy hero x heroine who wants to escape]

[Strong liquor x ice cream]

Shen Baisu woke up one day to find herself a little maid on an island.

The island was controlled by the mysterious Xiu Yuan family, and by sheer bad luck, Shen Baisu was assigned to serve its young heir, the male lead, Xiu Yuan Che.

To figure out how to escape, Shen Baisu worked diligently at the male lead’s side. Unfortunately, he was a nightmare of a boss, liable to turn on her at any moment. She’d heard that when he got upset, he might even take someone apart and feed them to the flamingos.

As time went by, though, Shen Baisu realized that as long as she fulfilled the male lead’s requests, she barely had to do any work. Once she understood that, she agreed to everything. If he liked her scent, she let him smell her. If he liked drawing on her, she let him draw. If he wanted to hug her, she let him hug her.

But little by little, Xiu Yuan Che went from smelling the back of her hand to smelling her neck and hair, then even asked to smell her breasts. He went from drawing puppies on her arm to drawing butterflies on her thigh, and eventually asked to draw Medusa below her navel. He went from hugging her for a minute to cuddling her during his afternoon nap, until they were wrapped in each other’s arms for three days and three nights. He even insisted on carrying her to the bathroom…

Shen Baisu realized things were going very wrong. Terrified, she packed up and ran away in the middle of the night.

But as soon as she boarded the ship, someone blindfolded her.

When she woke up, everything around her was dark. Then those familiar, soft lips pressed against hers. Terrified, Shen Baisu called out Xiu Yuan Che’s name. He stopped, then murmured lightly in her ear, “When you do something wrong, you have to accept your punishment. Afraid it’ll hurt?”

Coming soon: The Two Men Who Were Let Down

(I)

Zhou Shisui lost her memory after a car accident. When she woke up, her boyfriend, Zhuang Tunan, was standing stiffly and solemnly beside her bed.

She couldn’t understand why he was suddenly so cold to her. She tugged playfully at his sleeve and sweetly called out, “Honey, sit here.”

Just then, the hospital room door was suddenly flung open. A man rushed in and threw his arms around Zhou Shisui, looking both shocked and delighted. “Baby, you scared me to death! I’m so glad you’re okay!”

Zhou Shisui had no idea where this crazed man had come from. She instinctively pushed him away, then glanced at the cold Zhuang Tunan beside her and suddenly realized he was jealous. She hurriedly grabbed Zhuang Tunan’s hand. “Honey, I don’t know him!”

(II)

Everyone in Nancheng knew that the notorious playboy Zhou Gongzi was up for anything but never got involved with women. Only his friends knew he’d spent the past three years looking for his first love, who had suddenly vanished without a trace.

At a drinking party, Zhou Tunan got a call from the hospital. The caller said a female patient had lost her memory and only remembered this phone number. He pushed his glass aside and raced over.

The woman in the hospital gown was indeed Zhou Shisui.

Zhuang Tunan gently closed the door. Good. If she didn’t remember, then he’d make up for every one of those three empty years.

(III)

Ren Bowen’s fiancée was in a car accident. When she woke up, she not only didn’t remember him, but had also acquired an annoying fly at her side.

Still, it wasn’t a big deal. So she’d lost her memory. They could just start over from the night they slept together at the bar. He rather enjoyed the process anyway.

Coming soon: The Cold-Faced Puppy Being Spied On Is Actually the Boss

[Cold-faced to everyone else, a puppy only with her]

[A big size difference, every position you can imagine]

Chi Yuexi picked up a job at the seafood market: spy on her employer’s “old, weak, sick, and poor” ex. She checked the terms: 1,000 per session, 20,000 for a month, and the client had paid two months in advance. Faced with all that money, Chi Yuexi’s knees went weak, and she signed away her freedom on the spot.

But her target was incredibly hard to deal with. Her heavily retouched, beauty-filtered photo was rejected, as was the carefully staged nine-picture selfie grid. It took a whole week just to try to add him as a friend, and she still hadn’t succeeded. Chi Yuexi was about to give the money back when she made one last attempt, using a picture of a koala falling out of a tree as her profile photo. It worked. Chi Yuexi: ???

Then she clicked into his profile.

Profile picture: a gray silhouette.

Nickname: Z.

Bio: blank.

Moments: visible for three days only.

Posts: zero.

As expected, money was hard to earn and even harder to spend… What was the point of spying on him?

But she had a conscience. Since she’d taken the money, she had to give her client something to show for it. With no other ideas, she searched online for a bunch of tips.

Chi Yuexi: You there?

Z: ?

Chi Yuexi: Where are you?

Z: ?

Chi Yuexi: I’m guessing you’re at home?

Z: …

No denial meant confirmation. Chi Yuexi sent her client a message: He’s at home today, hasn’t gone out.

Chi Yuexi: You there?

Z: ?

Chi Yuexi: Where are you?

Z: ?

Chi Yuexi: Still at home?
