A Summer Romance Guide

[The day she disappeared, he thought their story was over.

Only later did he realize their story truly began the day she came back.]

*

Tang Yinglv has been a well-behaved girl since childhood, quiet and introverted. During all three years of high school, even her classmates barely remembered she existed.

But recently, someone has been pestering her: the school bully.

He's domineering and stubborn, insisting on becoming her friend and constantly asking what she wishes for.

Tang Yinglv says she has no wishes, but he doesn't believe her. He keeps asking and pestering her every day.

To get him off her back, Tang Yinglv has no choice but to make up some wishes to put him off.

Her first wish: "I want lots of money."

So he sells popsicles with her, working tirelessly at their street stall.

Her second wish: "I want to run away from home."

But after her family berates and humiliates her, he takes her hand and gives her a place to shelter from the wind and rain.

Later, Tang Yinglv finds a real wish of her own.

She wants to fall in love.

But the boy she could never push away before now starts avoiding her on purpose.

Lin Yu'an is convinced that a girl in his class named Tang Yinglv has a crush on him.

She's writing him a love letter, after all, even if it only has the letter "L" for a name.

But the letter traps him in a time loop.

The only way to break the loop is to fulfill Tang Yinglv's wish.

He suspects Tang Yinglv's wish is to be with him, so he immediately takes the letter and confesses to her. All he gets in return is a look of shock.

When he opens his eyes the next day, he's back on the day before.

So Tang Yinglv was just embarrassed. No helping it, he'll take things step by step.

He'll start by being her friend and help her fulfill her wishes, big or small.

Lin Yu'an is sure he doesn't like her, but why is Tang Yinglv getting cuter and cuter? Her bright eyes gaze at him, and her eyelashes are so long and curled.

Thinking of that love letter, Lin Yu'an struggles to suppress his smile and thinks, So Tang Yinglv likes me this much. He'll just have to be magnanimous and date her.

But later, he discovers that Tang Yinglv's love letter wasn't written to him at all.

----- Next book: Through Spring -----

Radiant runaway beauty x stoic, undercover tough guy

Ye Chunhe has known since childhood that beauty can get her anything she wants.

Money, fame, status.

Countless people pursue her, but all they want is to greedily capture her, keep her as a canary, and show her off.

But she's tired of it, so she ignores their threats and runs away to an unfamiliar little city in the north.

She carefully plans a robbery, ditches her tracked phone and handbag, pretends to be penniless, and clings to the home of a simple, kindhearted stranger.

The girl is poor and depends on her truck-driving older brother.

Ye Chunhe can't help feeling sorry for her.

When she turns around, she's met by a sturdy, composed man pushing open the door, his sharp brows twitching in surprise.

Ye Chunhe smiles brightly.

In return, the man gives her an almost hostile look and coldly tells her to "get out."

For the first time in her life, her beauty has failed her.

But it doesn't matter. Someone like him would make the perfect dog. ^_^

Chi Xuezhou is the finest blade hidden at a coastal port.

Bronzed skin, six-foot-three, eight-pack abs, and a body built like a stud.

He can spin the steering wheel with one hand, and of course he can steady a gun, too.

He has told himself countless times:

In a jungle full of dangers, the only person you can ever trust is yourself.

But Ye Chunhe...

Radiant and beautiful, like a flower in spring.

But sometimes, she's also a little silly.

Her attempts to seduce people are clumsy. She doesn't guard herself around others, gets smoke in her eyes in the kitchen until they're red, and complains that the bed isn't soft enough: how is anyone supposed to sleep on something this hard?

Yet the corners of her mouth secretly curl upward.

Whether for personal or professional reasons, Chi Xuezhou shouldn't take her in.

But he can't stop himself from flying toward the flame.

He'll travel a long way back just to cook for her.

He'll save up for ages to buy her an exorbitantly expensive bedding set and take her to see cherry blossoms covering the mountains.

Like right now.

When a man in a suit reaches out to her by force, seeing her eyes redden helplessly, Chi Xuezhou's brow knots with tension. His body moves faster than his mind, and he steps forward to shield her in his arms.

With a bloodied hand, he gently strokes her hair.

"Don't cry. I'll take you away."

"You know, all you have to do is ask."

"I'll do anything for you."

Theme: Life is brilliant.
