You Bring Me Good Fortune

A rookie elementary school teacher + a student's uncle who runs a jewelry store At first: Hey, guys! I paid upfront for some jadeite, but when I found the item didn't match the listing and asked for a refund, the seller blocked me on WeChat. What do I do? Am I really going to have to just swallow this unfair loss?! Wait… I just made a big discovery. His nephew seems to be in my class! Then: He took out a jadeite bangle worth as much as a BMW and grabbed her hand without a word, asking her to try it on. She tried it on, her heart pounding, and laughed. "It's so expensive. My heart can't take it. If I broke it, even giving you myself wouldn't be enough to make up for it." He… well, that was exactly what he had in mind. In the end: He took the piece of jadeite out of a drawer. She said, "Oh, it's still here?" He said, "After you returned it, I kept it in the shop. I did have a chance to sell it later, but by then I didn't really want to let it go." Because it was where their story began. Bonus: On the day of their wedding photoshoot, all the other brides envied the diamond necklace around her neck. Little did they know it wasn't a cheap imitation, but the store's prized treasure, worth over a million! Well, what can you do? This bride-to-be has a future husband who runs a jewelry store! A little scene: As a new homeroom teacher, she is passionate about her work, but she can't help making mistakes now and then. After a chaotic spring outing, one parent complained about Shi Yuelun's oversights in a private chat group. Qiao Yufeng, the student's uncle, was in the group too, so he said, "If Teacher Shi would do me the honor of having dinner with me, I'd be happy to hand over my phone so you could take your time looking through it!" Shi Yuelun bit her lip, unable to refuse. So she saw all the parents' complaints about her, but she also saw Qiao Yufeng's messages standing up for her. She had no idea he had helped her so much behind the scenes. But Qiao Yufeng said, "To be honest, you were in the wrong in this matter." He didn't shower her with empty, comforting words just because he liked her. Instead, he sincerely discussed the art of being a homeroom teacher with her. Shi Yuelun suddenly understood that a good homeroom teacher always plans ahead. She also realized that if she wanted to dispel the parents' reservations, she had to show them how much she cared about their children. So she won the parents' trust back with a neatly organized stack of homework books. Facing Qiao Yufeng, Shi Yuelun said sheepishly, "Why do I always feel like you just gave me a lecture?" And little by little, she finally realized that she was growing more and more dependent on Qiao Yufeng. After Qiao Yufeng and Shi Yuelun got together, his nephew, Qiao Xiaoxuan, became a whole new person too. When his friends in class chattered away with questions, he said earnestly, "You guys should all focus on your studies. I heard my uncle got great grades when he was little, and that's how he was able to find a girlfriend like Teacher Shi when he grew up!" It seems that for a child, having your uncle win over your homeroom teacher is a tremendous honor! My ongoing story, Just Want to Talk About Everyday Life with You. It's a heartwarming, slice-of-life story. Give it a try! This is a story about a sharp-tongued man who talks big before he falls in love, then gets his comeuppance once he does. If they were to talk about their first impressions of each other: Huo Wentao: Just an immature young woman who came in place of her cousin to turn down a blind date. Sang Qi: Is this guy crazy? I'm basically going in my cousin's place to brave a mountain of knives and a sea of flames. Then, their second impressions after getting to know each other: Huo Wentao: The way she deludes herself is amusing. Sang Qi: His two-faced act isn't bad either. Sang Qi: So, is this a difference between men and women? Huo Wentao smiled. "No, it's just the difference between you and me." A sharp-tongued, tsundere bookstore owner + a college girl who loves writing. He says: Sometimes the nagging of one's elders is more life-shortening than a blind date. He says: Roses and diamonds are nothing but marketing schemes that brainwash women. He says: If I didn't know you were fishing for gossip to use in your writing, I'd think you were in love with me. He says: If you aren't secretly in love with me, you'd better stop prying into my private life. He says: You don't actually believe there's such a thing as love that never changes, do you? But love comes gradually, like a gentle stream. When he realizes that he's fallen for her, roses, diamond rings, and the everlasting love he used to scoff at all come back to haunt him in a grand face-slapping reversal. In the end, resigned and helpless, he says: Stop being childish. This thing called love will go bad sooner or later… So marry me before it does, and turn love into responsibility and family affection. Then let's bet on whether I'm a man whose conscience can keep him in line… Well, does she even need to bet? Sang Qi can't help smiling. The man who drove across half the city in the middle of the night to make sure she was safe: if that's not him, then who is? Reader: Why does everyone keep talking and talking? Author: Because this is a love story about two people with completely different personalities slowly sparking something special as they navigate the long, everyday business of life together. The most romantic thing I can imagine is sharing life's everyday chatter with you. A little scene: Cousin: Why are you always holed up in the bookstore? Sang Qi: So I can hear gossip for my writing. Cousin: Why are you still working there during summer vacation? Sang Qi: So I can fish for the boss Huo's gossip for my writing. Cousin: Were you going to a hotel room with Boss Huo to write too??? Sang Qi: Don't get the wrong idea. I said I didn't have that kind of experience, and he offered to help! Huo Wentao: Y-you know what they say about making things sound even more suspicious, right! Sang Qi: All right, all right, we were just doing some field research. Nothing happened. Theme: Cherish life
