Kissing Your Collar (Reborn: Moonlit Light on the Water)

Age eleven:

Huo Xiaoran: "You're Wang Zhuo? Hmm, not bad-looking. From now on, you're mine. If anyone picks on you, or you want to pick on someone, or anything else comes up, just tell me. I'll take care of it."

Wang Zhuo: "...What are you even talking about?"

Huo Xiaoran: "My friendship manifesto."

Age seventeen:

Huo Xiaoran: "Wang Zhuo, believe me, no one else in this world will ever treat you as well as I do. Are you sure you don't want me? If I go find someone else, you won't be able to call me in the middle of the night to vent anymore, or kiss and cuddle me, or get me to agree to everything. Otherwise, my partner will get mad."

Wang Zhuo: "...You're threatening me!"

Huo Xiaoran: "It's a strategy. Exploit your weakness, or strike where it hurts?"

Age twenty-two:

Huo Xiaoran: "Wang Zhuo, you really won't marry me? If you don't tie me down, all those Zhang Rans and Li Rans will keep circling me, and I can't shake them off. Sigh, what if I get drunk one day and accidentally cheat on you?"

Wang Zhuo: "...What's that got to do with me?"

Huo Xiaoran: "Well, if you won't marry me, then marry me instead."

Um, I'll be shameless and say this: If you've read it, whether you liked it or not, leave a comment! Thank you!
