After My Confession to My Best Friend Was Rejected

[Updated daily, though sometimes I can't post as much as I'd like]

Wen Yi has loved Shen Xi for many years. Everyone knows it, including Shen Xi.

Whenever she crosses the finish line, Wen Yi is always the first to run over to her.

With a bright smile, she says, "How is our Shen Xi so amazing?"

In the winter of their sophomore year, the biggest snowfall in nearly five years blanketed the city.

Shen Xi forgot to check her messages while having dinner with friends. When she got back, she found that Wen Yi had waited for her at school all afternoon.

The tip of her nose was red, like an innocent, lively little rabbit.

When Wen Yi confessed, Shen Xi only said, "Wen Yi, I don't like girls."

Later, Wen Yi really did step back into the role of a friend.

She didn't cross the line or expect anything.

And she stopped loving Shen Xi.

Shen Xi thought this was for the best.

Until one day...

She saw Wen Yi blushing as someone cornered her backstage to confess their feelings.

A heart that had been still for more than a decade suddenly gave a painful tug.

On the day of her victory in the final race of the APRC season, a reporter asked about the rumors.

The champion racer, usually so cool in front of the cameras, went off script for the first time.

"We're not dating."

"There's someone I like."

"I've liked her for many years."

The whole internet erupted, but no one knew that the person she'd loved for all those years had long since stopped loving her.

Before,

Shen Xi never had to say a word.

Wen Yi would always run to her first.

Afterward,

She called out Wen Yi's name again and again.

Wen Yi didn't react. She never looked back.

[She rejected her.]

[Then she wanted to go back to her ex.]

Next novel:

Married Off to the Heiress Against My Will

At first: A poor female student x a wealthy heiress

Later: A development engineer x a businesswoman

No one knows that Yue Ni and Shu Fang were together for a year.

During their four years at university, they seemed to be no more than casual acquaintances to outsiders.

Shu Fang came from a wealthy family and spent money lavishly. Almost everyone envied her, though no one liked her. Yue Ni, by contrast, had been raised by the old woman who sold fried cakes by the roadside, and constantly worried about making ends meet.

They came from entirely different worlds. No one would ever have imagined them together.

Yue Ni knew her place, too.

But no one knew that after midnight in the lab, Shu Fang wanted nothing more than to pull Yue Ni into her very bones. They kissed passionately, unable to bear to part, while Shu Fang repeated Yue Ni's name in her ear again and again.

Until one day, by chance, Yue Ni overheard Shu Fang complaining to a friend: "Yue Ni?"

"She's a nice person, but she's definitely not the type I'd choose for the long haul."

At that point, Yue Ni left her world. No matter how hard Shu Fang searched, she couldn't find her.

Three years after graduation, Yue Ni returns to the capital, but Shu Fang has "invited" her back.

The haughty heiress slides a contract across the table.

Cold, elegant, proud, and unbearably arrogant. Impossible to like.

"I need someone to marry. The contract will last one year."

"I'll pay you five million, and I can pay you two million in advance. You can use it to pay for your grandmother's treatment."

"But there's one condition."

"Marry me."

-

Shu Fang knows nothing about love. She chases pleasure and runs from pain.

A friend asks her, "After you got married, was your sex life still good?"

Shu Fang says, "Our relationship is platonic."

But whenever night falls, her eyes glisten with tears, and she practically begs Yue Ni.

"Baby, give it to me."

"Please."
