The Sweetest Special

Blurb: When Zhou Lingxi and Yang Zhaoyi had a fight in college, they were also in a long-distance relationship, and nearly two months went by without them seeing each other.

One day, she was taking a walk on the sports field with her roommates when she spotted a tall, handsome guy near the school gate, asking something at the security booth. That profile, that waist, those long legs: the full package of a dream guy. She thought he looked familiar, and her roommates agreed, saying he looked like the hugely popular young actor Liu Haoran. They wondered how they could get him to come over so they could admire him up close.

Zhou Lingxi said, "If I call out, he'll probably come running over right away." Her roommates scoffed and laughed at her for dreaming. So she really did call out. The "knockoff Liu Haoran" turned at the sound, saw her, and first froze, then lit up!

He immediately broke into a sprint on those long legs, rushing over like a whirlwind. In front of everyone, he pulled her into a tight hug and whispered accusingly in her ear, "You heartless thing! Do you know how much I've missed you?"

Her roommates were dumbfounded.

[Please add my new novel, What If I Hadn't Married You, to your collection!] Blurb one: At twenty-six, Yang Lingqin is the mother of two little girls. Every day, she takes on her mother-in-law, lashes out at her husband, and pickles and fries the green-tea homewrecker.

Her young, handsome husband has a clingy childhood friend next door who's a green-tea schemer. One day, the friend gets all dolled up and invites Zou Kaijie to a class reunion.

Yang Lingqin says expressionlessly to Zou Kaijie, "You have to take the kids for their vaccinations today. You can't go."

The green-tea childhood friend smiles sarcastically. "They can get their shots tomorrow. Kaijie and I haven't gotten together in ages."

Yang Lingqin looks at her and says, one word at a time, "I said we're going today, so we're going today. Do you like asking other people's husbands out that much?"

The green-tea friend turns green with anger and puts on a pitiful, wounded look. "Jie, look at how she's insulting me!"

Zou Kaijie chuckles. "You're getting off easy. She's going to hit and scold me later."

"You just let her walk all over you?"

"Would you rather I let you walk all over me?"

Her fussy mother-in-law berates her for not having a son, and Yang Lingqin snaps back that she's destined to bring misfortune to her grandchildren.

Yang Lingqin wants to go out and see a friend, but her mother-in-law insists she finish cooking first.

Right in front of her mother-in-law, Yang Lingqin calls her friend back and says, "Wait a bit. I'll come after I cook and feed the 'pigs.'"

Her mother-in-law is so angry that two or three more wrinkles appear that very day.

Blurb two: In Zou Kaijie's eyes, his wife was gentle, considerate, and obedient in every way. But after they married and had a child, she became hot-tempered and suspicious, constantly ordering him around, and she fought bitterly with his mother almost every day.

For a while, he wondered if Yang Lingqin had gone crazy. So he ignored her, paid her no attention, and focused on enjoying himself.

Then one day, when Yang Lingqin went from hysterical to cold and distant and said the word "divorce" to him, he panicked for a moment, inexplicably feeling that his pride had taken a hit. Then he pretended to be calm, thinking she must have said it in a fit of anger. Without him, a rich, handsome man, would she and the kids be eating cornbread?

He told her to think it over again and again before deciding. But she resolutely left with their second child.

The first week, he was sure she'd be back in a few days. The second week, he was so distressed he could neither eat nor sleep, cursing women for being heartless. The third week, he told his mother, "I'm taking our eldest to find her mother. You and Dad can keep each other company!"

When Zou Kaijie finally saw his wife again after a winding journey with their three-year-old daughter, he acted like a wronged husband, throwing a tantrum, crying, and threatening to bang his head against a wall if she didn't come home with him!

Yang Lingqin pulled their daughter close and said calmly, "If you're trying to get yourself hit by a car, keep going straight and turn right. There's more traffic over there."
