Rugged Boat Captain X Delicate High School Girl

Lin Bei woke up one day and found herself back in 1996, during the summer between her first and second years of high school.

Staring at the brother she had been separated from for ten years, Lin Bei felt her nose sting. She made up her mind: this time, she would protect him.

Her brother had raised her, and they were deeply attached. Ten years ago, he had gone out to sea in a typhoon to buy her a bracelet, and never came back.

To prevent the tragedy from happening again, Lin Bei tried hard to persuade him to change jobs. When a typhoon approached, she clung to him like an octopus.

On a hot, humid summer night, the siblings huddled close together. Outside, the wind and rain roared; inside, Chen Licheng held a soft, fragrant beauty in his arms, and lost control.

*

Chen Licheng had no family. His younger sister was the most important person in the world to him. He carried her to school when she was little and earned money to support her as she grew up. As long as she was happy, he was happy.

Then one day, his little sister grew up.

He struggled to suppress himself through countless nights. Lin Bei sat on his lap in the silk nightdress he'd bought her and ordered, "Brother, dry my hair for me."

"Beibei, a man shouldn't let a woman sit on his lap."

"Really? I'm sitting just fine."

Chen Licheng had reached his limit. He took a deep breath and pinned her against the sofa. "Fine. I'll give you what you want."

* Seven-year age gap

* No blood relation, and they aren't on the same household register

* Not an empowering wish-fulfillment story

About the explanation for Chapter 28:

Before being reborn, the heroine was a doctor. Personal safety comes first, so she chooses to break up the fight rather than escalate the conflict.

More explanation in Chapter 29. If you can't accept it, that's fine. Hope you have a good day.

Cool, Cute College Girl X Flirtatious Pro Player

Tong Zhen and her brother had been at odds for ten years.

Chen Lingliang, known as Cheat, was the league's number-one ADC and a core veteran of the top-four teams. He had brought the LPL its first World Championship trophy and won the Most Popular Player award three years in a row.

But Tong Zhen wasn't a fan.

During the off-season, Chen Lingliang was streaming in his room while Tong Zhen dropped by his stream. She played along with the chat's teasing, then turned around and sent her boyfriend a message: [Hehe, look at my skewer merchant!]

Chen Lingliang opened his browser: Is there still time for an eighteen-year-old to grow a brain if she hasn't grown one yet?

Tong Zhen was dating someone online. Her boyfriend was her brother.

She had no idea.

They glared at each other during the day and played sweet duos at night. Chen Lingliang dreaded the day his identity would be exposed.

"Mute, give me blue!"

"Mute, can I have a taste of your wolf camp?"

"Mute, let's meet in person!"

That day, Tong Zhen opened the door full of anticipation.

He had quit the game.

·

In the end, it was all his fault.

At the competition venue, the broadcast camera swept across the audience, and Chen Lingliang suddenly caught sight of something. He turned his head.

In the front row sat his all-too-familiar ex.

A heart frozen all winter suddenly leapt.

That evening, Tong Zhen came out of the shower and was about to head to her room when she stopped.

Chen Lingliang was leaning silently against the entryway, watching her from the side.

Step by step, he backed her into the bathroom. His breath was close, brushing against her ear.

"W-what are you doing?" Tong Zhen pressed uneasily against the wall.

Chen Lingliang's fingertips traced the cat ears on her head, his gaze burning. "Did you miss your big brother?"

Tong Zhen said nothing.

Chen Lingliang lowered his head and kissed her, unable to hold himself back.

Her resistance slowly melted into their hurried breathing and the rising steam. Their longing gradually came into focus in the mirror.

"I missed you so much."

Theme: Love can overcome the sea.
