Off-the-Charts Sweetness

[Upcoming novel, Warm Sake, please add it to your reading list!!!]

Zhai Ziqing’s reason for getting married was different from other women’s.

They did it for love. She did it because Xu Heng was unlike anyone else.

And what made him different was that he was afraid of women!

He was a perfect match for her, a marriage-free woman who was constantly nagged by her family.

But after they got married, something started to feel off.

Was that him stealing a kiss from her just now?

Was that him saying he liked her just now?

And just now...

"Mmph, Xu Heng, you... jerk..."

After kissing her, he kept a straight face, opened the door, and went back to his room. The moment he got inside, he let out a yelp and flung himself onto the bed.

Her lips... smelled so sweet.

On the first day of school, Ye Ran took a liking to Jian Yi, who studied in the department next door.

In just two short months, rumors spread around campus that Ye Ran had expertly captured the heart of a playboy. Plenty of people were watching, though. They all thought Jian Yi was too used to being free and that the romance wouldn’t last. Some busybodies went to ask Jian Yi about it.

Jian Yi didn’t take it seriously. He figured that if Ye Ran wanted to have some fun, he might as well play along. Who knew that playing along would land him in a trap?

A friend teased Jian Yi in front of Ye Ran: Didn’t you say you were just having fun?

Jian Yi: Did I say that? Don’t put words in my mouth.

Jian Yi happened to see a photo. In it, Ye Ran smiled shyly, her eyes full of affection, with a young man standing beside her.

Later, he accidentally learned that this young man was the reason he and Ye Ran had gotten together. With his heart already bound to her, Jian Yi pretended he knew nothing.

For the first time in his life, Jian Yi, who was rarely interested in anything, wanted to keep someone all to himself.

* Bright and bold x carefree and unrestrained

* Content warning: The heroine has a longtime crush on someone else.

* Not a groveling-to-win-her-back story. Just a simple story.
