Good Little One

[Sweet romance coming soon: Doting on the Moon. Please add it to your favorites; visit my author page.]

While picking through trash on a rainy day, Qi Meimei found the gloomy young Chu Yanqi, who had been kicked out of his home, and took him in.

He was handsome and delicate, but so terribly thin. He looked like a poor boy abused by his stepmother, with nowhere else to go.

Chu Yanqi was irritable, withdrawn, and almost pathologically introverted, with an extremely strange personality.

Qi Meimei felt sorry for him and tried her hardest to cheer him up. She fed and clothed him and took him everywhere. She might as well have tucked him into her waistband.

Her friends all told her to dump the boy and send him back where he came from.

"There's something off about the way he looks at you. Like a wolf. Be careful he doesn't bite."

"You're not his mother. Why take on this hot potato? You're still a kid yourself, and you're going to raise him?"

Qi Meimei couldn't bear to part with him.

She hugged the cold-faced, gloomy boy and gently comforted him.

"My sweet boy, don't be scared. I'll take care of you for the rest of your life."

Chu Yanqi lowered his eyes and silently held her tight, his arms tightening around her.

All right. For a lifetime.

She raised the boy from a skinny little thing into a tall, strapping young man. When his features matured into exquisite handsomeness, countless girls began chasing after him.

Qi Meimei was pleased. At last, all her hard work as a mother had paid off. Now she could find her son a wife.

Who could have guessed her sweet boy wanted no one but her?

Qi Meimei: Yanqi, you can't.

The boy looked at her in silence.

Qi Meimei: All right, my sweet boy. Just one kiss.

In a nutshell:

A sweet little romance about a girl who takes in a sweet boy.

P.S. The male lead is the dark, sickly pretty-boy type. He's not sweet at all, really!

At her stepmother's suggestion, Lu Wanyi was sent to a martial arts school a thousand miles away. "Where we're from, if you're weak, you need to move around more. Wanyi, go learn martial arts."

And so a petite, slender, pure-looking girl with rosy lips and white teeth transferred to Changmei Martial Arts School.

The school was full of boys and had very few girls, like a monastery. Out of nowhere, a beautiful, doll-like girl showed up.

The school team went wild.

"Fifth Ye, Brother Five, coming? There's a new transfer in Class Three. She's gorgeous and sweet-voiced, but kind of frail. Let's show her around."

The school team's captain, Di Wuye, known as Brother Five, was quiet and calm. His handsome face showed no expression as he raised an eyebrow.

"Ten extra laps."

The team members fell silent. They didn't dare chatter about going to see the girl or showing her around anymore. By the end of their ten laps, they were panting like dogs.

But not long afterward, everyone discovered that...

The cold-faced Brother Five, who usually kept everyone at arm's length, was helping Lu Wanyi wash the dishes after meals!

He even climbed over the wall to secretly buy her a birthday cake!

During the two years the beautiful, gentle girl was there, Di Wuye even went easier on the punching bag.

But those days only lasted two years. The girl transferred away.

When they met again,

At the Lu family's matchmaking banquet, Lu Wanyi looked alluring and pitiful, her willow-leaf brows furrowed as she called in a tender voice, "Brother Five,

you're hurting me."

Di Wuye was far more stern than he had been as a boy. Seeing her cry didn't move him at all. He kissed her fiercely, his eyes cold.

"Does it hurt? Then remember me."

A sickly, scheming heiress x a domineering martial arts school tough guy.

Qi Yin is a first-year college student currently on leave, and a mediocre painter in her spare time.

Beautiful and timid, she inherited her late grandaunt's villa and is afraid of the dark.

The house is too big, so she wants to find a tenant with a sunny disposition.

After she posts a rental ad, a young man with six-pack abs and bulging arm muscles comes to see the place. He's like a python in human form.

He's a sophomore athlete, and just standing there makes you feel completely safe.

Qi Yin is withdrawn and afraid of people. Ever since the athlete moved in, she's dared to order takeout. When it arrives, she sends him to pick it up at the entrance to the complex.

In a torrential downpour, the athlete comes back soaked, having scared off a man who was harassing his landlady. Carrying the still-steaming takeout, he leans against the doorway and stares at the pretty landlady wrapped tightly in a blanket, speaking slowly and irritably.

"Is this part of the rental requirements too?" Every few days, he's helping chase off some other admirer.

Qi Yin looks a little aggrieved. "Then... should I waive this month's rent?"

The athlete squeezes out a few stiff words. "No need. I've got money!"

Later,

Jiang, the school's notoriously unruly heartthrob, becomes Qi Yin's boyfriend and hers alone. He gets worked up whenever anyone else so much as looks at her.

Her boyfriend is both fierce and tender. The moment Qi Yin purses her lips, he'll do whatever she wants.

Theme: The world is warm, and one ray of light is enough to brighten his world.
