We Can't Be Friends

[The next book is Oh, He's My Cousin, a story about a secret crush that leads to marriage]

"Is there such a thing as pure friendship between a man and a woman?"

The host on the video asked the question with great seriousness.

In front of the screen, Yu Huan firmly took the affirmative side. She had only one reason:

Her best friend was a man.

She stared at her friend on the screen, hoping to see the same stance on his face.

As if sensing something, Qin Jia gazed deeply through the camera and said, "I'm on the opposing side, because I want to turn my best female friend into my girlfriend, my wife, and the mother of my children."

Everyone at the show instantly erupted into excitement.

After Yu Huan saw the look in her friend's eyes on the screen, she panicked and hurriedly clicked the X in the upper-right corner.

Qin Jia, who had watched the video with her, saw her fumbling in a panic. Then he leaned over her. "What are you panicking about?"

Yu Huan: ...

This novel is also known as Top-Tier Star Begs His Wife for a Script. Just tell me, are those two titles far apart or what? ^O^

Note:

1. There are no real-life inspirations. Please don't read anything into it.

Blurb for the new book Oh, He's My Cousin:

When Jia Xiaonuan was five, she held three green plums in her hand. A touch of green entered her life, and a seed was planted in her heart.

At eighteen, one glance was all it took for the seed in her heart to take root and sprout, as if touched by a dewdrop.

But even though she had improper thoughts about him, all she could do then was suppress them and pine for him in secret.

At twenty-four, she began to entertain some illusions and grew a little bolder, thinking she might be able to give it a try.

That night, the little one asked him, "Daddy, why can't you be with Xiaonuan's mother?"

She held her breath nervously outside the door. All she heard him say was, "Your Xiaonuan's mother is like my little sister. How could a brother and sister be together?"

Three days later, Jia Xiaonuan packed her things and left the city.

At twenty-eight, someone asked who he was. She smiled faintly and said, "Oh, he's my cousin."

At twenty-nine, she returned, ready to start over. When he looked at her again, his thoughts had turned tangled and his intentions were anything but innocent.

That night, when a young man asked who he was, she raised an eyebrow at the man beside her, smiled faintly, and replied, "Oh, he's my cousin."

That night, he pressed her into a corner. Beneath the dim, scattered lights, he gazed at her tenderly. She smiled. "Cousin, this isn't appropriate, is it?"

A story about a secret crush that leads to marriage.

Theme: Through spring and autumn, through winter and summer, I have always been here.
