A Quarter's Lover

[Both inexperienced, younger man, sweet and proper girl x cool guy with a cold expression] (^.^)

Zhou Yao fell in love at first sight with the bar's singer.

He was handsome and sang beautifully, with the air of an aloof, untouchable heartthrob. Or so she thought!

What was with him accepting every girl's request to exchange contact information? Was he some kind of playboy who kept a bunch of girls on the hook?

So Zhou Yao resolved to keep her distance from him.

It felt like the heavens were playing a joke on her. She was so afraid of what might happen, and then it did.

Zhou Yao had no idea how she'd ended up responsible for taking care of Shen Yan, who was sick.

Looking at Shen Yan's flushed cheeks and feeble breaths, Zhou Yao was stunned. This wasn't how things were supposed to go!

So she gritted her teeth, kicked off her shoes, climbed into the same bed, and hugged Shen Yan. He mumbled in his sleep. She leaned closer and heard him say:

"Warm and soft. That's what she smells like."

"Zhou Yao, hold me a little longer."

Zhou Yao froze. Only after a long while did she blink and hug him back.

Shen Yan had never been in a relationship. After falling in love with Zhou Yao at first sight, he became too insecure about having nothing to offer and didn't want to reveal his feelings.

But the more he tried to stay away, the more tangled up they became. He could tell Zhou Yao kept him at arm's length, drawing him in and then pulling away. She was clearly trying to ensnare him, yet he still fell for her.

So when Zhou Yao confessed to him, Shen Yan turned her down, and then...cried.

Zhou Yao felt sorry for him and amused at the same time as she wiped his tears.

"I'm the one who should be miserable. You rejected me, so why are you crying so hard, Shen Yan? You're making it look like I'm the bad guy."

Preorder blurb for the new novel Indulgence (^.^)

Fake step-siblings | little fairy x rich young master

Xu Chuyi got a new older brother, and he was the complete opposite of her old one.

Her old brother ignored her. Her new brother was a total siscon.

When she ran out of money, Lu Yunian gave her some without her even asking.

When her grades were bad, Lu Yunian tutored her one-on-one.

But dating was out of the question. Lu Yunian didn't like anyone, and in his eyes, nobody was good enough for Xu Chuyi.

Xu Chuyi thought he was so annoying. Why did he have to make such a fuss about everything?

Then her scumbag of a father tried to hit her. She heard the slap, but the pain she'd expected never came.

She looked at Lu Yunian, standing in front of her with his face turned aside from the blow, and suddenly felt light inside. So this was what it felt like to be protected.

Lu Yunian fell in love with his own biological younger sister.

At first, he was deeply conflicted. He thought that a relationship between real siblings was incest.

But he couldn't control who he loved.

At last, he accepted that he had fallen for his own younger sister.

After they got together, the first thing he said every morning after waking up and looking in the mirror was, "Good morning. Looking good, brother-in-law."
