A Possessive Kind of Sweetness

When Guan Yu was eight, a family moved in next door. Si Jue was two months older than her, neat and handsome, and quick to learn anything.

Guan Yu wasn't very bright, so she admired smart people most of all.

The neighborly aunt patted Guan Yu's head and said kindly,

"Our Si Jue doesn't have any friends. Guan Yu, you're so pretty. How about being his wife someday?"

Hearing that Si Jue had no friends, Guan Yu clumsily and enthusiastically began showing her kindness to him.

"Si Jue, look at the paper cranes I folded."

The boy took one, tore it neatly in half, tossed it on the ground, and stepped on it. "Get lost."

Guan Yu blinked, but didn't cry.

The next day.

"Si Jue, I made bear-shaped cookies." The little girl kept her hands behind her back, then skipped away as soon as she had spoken.

Si Jue waved a hand, and the cookie fell to the ground.

From farther away, Guan Yu saw what happened and sniffed. It seemed Si Jue really did hate her.

As she grew up, Guan Yu became a beautiful, delicate young woman, like a flower so lush it could drip with dew.

An older student stopped her and confessed his feelings.

But the day after his confession, he disappeared. With half his face bruised and swollen, he avoided Guan Yu and stopped speaking to her.

Guan Yu no longer believed people's confessions. Men never kept their word.

During confession season, when it was the turn of her class monitor, a well-behaved student, Guan Yu obediently went to the rooftop,

trying to figure out how to answer him.

But as Guan Yu waited for the class monitor, someone suddenly pinned her against the wall.

"Si Jue... What... what are you doing?"

The Si Jue who had once been her older brother next door had grown even more handsome than the school's heartthrob. But the way he stared at her looked furious. He gritted his teeth and gripped her waist, making Guan Yu back away in fright.

"She's my wife. I've watched over her for so long and never laid a hand on her, and now you go offering yourself to someone else?"

Guan Yu was stunned, her mind completely blank.

Why is Si Jue like this?

A cold, obsessive, fake model student and a genuinely sweet, naive girl.

★ Sweet romance coming soon: Doting on the Moon

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.
