Following in Your Footsteps

My new novel, Returning North, is now underway!

My Weibo: Boss Loves Fish

With so many brothers who doted on their little sister, Xixi had been cherished like a hothouse flower for years.

Because of how her brothers had raised her, she always thought boys were all clean-cut and dashing, with crew cuts and sharp features.

That changed when she was six. Her grandfather sent her to Grandma Lin's house to learn painting, where she saw Lin Yan for the first time. Her little heart gave a sudden thump.

Xixi burst into tears: My brothers have been lying to me!

And so little stutterer Xixi made her entrance, trembling as she held out a hand.

“H-hello, my name is... Xixi.”

Lin Yan glanced at her with his long, narrow phoenix eyes. His face still had a child's innocence, but his expression was icy.

He lowered his head and kept playing with his Legos, replying calmly, “Hello, my name is Haha.”

Xixi: “...”

As an adult, Xixi had gotten used to putting on someone's cold expression to hide the fact that she was younger than everyone else. But whenever she thought of Lin Yan, the brush in her hand would pause on its own, letting the ink bleed across the page.

As a child, she had followed him everywhere, step for step, and it had taken all that time for her to finally let go.

She never expected that after she turned eighteen, he would return with his looks turned up to the max and start following her everywhere, step for step, copying her every move and repeating everything she said... Shameless.

Xixi made up her mind: This time, she would hold out for three months!

A Little Sun

Wu Qi never imagined she would get married one day.

Especially not to her very own little sun, someone she knew better than anyone.

They had been childhood friends, close enough to share a pair of pants.

But as they grew older, Wu Qi, an artist who was halfway to being asexual, had never been particularly interested in marriage.

Until one day, her mother told her:

“Wu Qi, you're twenty-five. It's time to think about getting married.”

She even included a photo album full of potential blind dates.

Realizing how serious things were, Wu Qi had nowhere to turn. Thinking it was time to put all those years of preparation to use, she decided to take the plum growing right outside her door: Nanyang. But... it was so easy to steal him away that she started to panic.

Nanyang was an interesting man. In front of Wu Qi, he was as obedient as a golden retriever, but around everyone else, he was as unapproachable as Bao Gong.

Wu Qi was a bit slow on the uptake, focused entirely on her career, and a complete beginner when it came to romance. Actually, even elementary school kids were better at it than she was.

She had thought married life would go smoothly as always, and that they would keep being one big, happy family. But...

One day, Wu Qi realized that she'd spent twenty-five years single because of someone. She lost her cool: “I thought of you as a brother, and you wanted to sleep with me!”

Nanyang, still calm and collected as if nothing had happened despite being exposed, asked, “So, do you want a divorce?”

Wu Qi: “C-can I?”

Nanyang: “Heh. Heh.”

As it turned out, a rushed marriage was bound to end badly.

Or so Wu Qi thought one day, when she discovered that her house-trained pet dog had turned into a free-range wolf pup.
