Who says childhood friends can't beat a newcomer? (Get ready for extra sweetness!!!)
"Love is a romantic journey, so would you like to come see it with me?"
Childhood sweethearts, close since they were little.
A child the same age as Li Tinglin moved into the apartment across the hall. The kid was lively, always out running around and playing.
By a twist of fate, first-grader Li Tinglin ran into him on the way home from school. The kid ran over excitedly and said, "You live across from me, right? I'm Hu Zexin. What's your name?"
"I'm Li Tinglin."
Hu Zexin nodded, glanced at their matching school uniforms, and grinned. "Since we're at the same school, let's walk together from now on!"
From then on, a warm presence, just the right amount, was always by Li Tinglin's side.
He thought their encounters were all coincidences, until one day he heard him say, "Actually, I've carefully arranged every time we've met since then. I've liked you for a very, very long time."
"Has anyone ever told you something?"
"What?"
"You're... really good-looking."
A short, sweet romance~
It's really just about the everyday lives of a couple!
Please note:
This is not a school story! There are just a few scenes at school.
Most of the story takes place after they grow up. Their childhood appears only in a few flashbacks.
The leads are adults when they fall in love.

Three Lives Bound to My Mortal Enemy (Full manuscript in progress)
Ye Chenqing has a mortal enemy.
He first met him at the Hundred Flowers Banquet thirteen years ago. The boy was overbearing, unruly, and had no manners, yet Ye Chenqing remembered him for thirteen years.
Thirteen years later, Ye Chenqing was ordered to go to Quancheng and bring him home, but the boy refused to return.
Unable to let him go, Ye Chenqing used every means at his disposal to bring him back to the capital.
Only after returning to the capital did he learn that in this life, the two of them could never be together. But he refused to accept it and decided to fight fate.
Later, Ye Chenqing lost, and lost utterly.
He lost half a lifetime of the Ye family's schemes, and he lost Yuchi Nanyang.
Yuchi Nanyang was forcibly brought back to the capital. He hated this annoying man, yet somehow found him familiar.
As they spent day after day together, he fell in love with him.
But Ye Chenqing shattered that beautiful dream, and in the end, took his own life in a cold, dark room.
Yuchi Nanyang stared at the bloodstained object in his hand and murmured, "Did you use the thing I gave you to take your own life just to hurt me?"
"Then you got your wish."
Whenever Jiufang Huanling has a nightmare, he sees someone standing with their back to him.
That silhouette is deeply familiar, yet he can never remember who it is.
Until one day, he meets a great demon. The demon tries to kill him, but then saves him instead.
Confused, Jiufang Huanling sees the person from his dreams in the figure before him. His heart trembles, and he lowers his sword.
In Chi Ning's memories, he has someone he loves, but he has never known what that person looks like.
One day, he casually saves someone, and the beloved from his memories suddenly has a face.
Chi Ning pursues him with all his heart, only to have a sword pointed at him in return.
"There's a question that's troubled me for three lifetimes. Can you answer it?"
"This karmic debt was already forged when we first met."
But Jiufang Huanling doesn't know which first meeting that was.
