Roses Filling My Arms

[Complete. Please add to your collection!]

In her first year of college, Xiang Wei fell in love for the first time.

He was a brilliant finance student at Nan University, tall and lean, handsome, yet cold and taciturn, always keeping his distance from her.

Xiang Wei worked up the courage to pursue him for two months.

At a bus stop as the north wind howled, she shivered with cold. The young man, wearing a black down coat that reached his ankles, said seriously, "We're not right for each other."

Later, on another winter night just like that one,

he backed her into a corner and kissed her by force. Her bitten red lips were as vivid as flowers, her eyes bloodshot and misty. In a childish, hoarse voice, he begged, "Weiwei, can we please not break up?"

The years sailed by, carrying them through the tides of ordinary life. She didn't see Huai Zhan again until six years later.

She held a wine cup as punishment. He stood at the private room's entrance, impeccably dressed in a suit, refined and aloof. The light reflected off his metal-rimmed glasses like an arrow, stabbing straight into her heart.

Everyone thought they were sworn enemies.

Even she thought so.

But in a strange place no one knew about, his long fingers forcibly tilted up her delicate chin. He demanded a promise from the woman beneath him: "Promise you'll love me for the rest of your life, okay?"

-

She is the brilliant light that tore through the clouds of my life.

Before I met her, I had never known the taste of sweetness.

1. Realism and idealism go hand in hand. The male lead won't stay poor forever, but he won't be obscenely rich either.

2. Both leads have flaws and are not perfect characters. If that bothers you, read with caution.

3. The venture capital and corporate details are included to serve the story, and their accuracy is debatable. Hope you enjoy reading.
