Be Good and Like Me

[1] Handsome boy who is good at pretending x short-tempered, beautiful little fox (Xu Muting * Bei Xuan)

Everyone thought Bei Xuan had pursued Xu Muting relentlessly for years.

But they didn't know that Xu Muting had long since been captivated by her. He couldn't escape her, nor could he break free from her embrace.

One day, someone saw Bei Xuan at Xu Muting's home and asked curiously, "Who is she?"

He looked over with a solemn gaze. "My first love."

'Tears are countless tattoos, winding around the heart and blooming into beauty on their own.'

[2] Gloomy boy, gentle and calculating to a fault x rebellious girl whose heart flutters like a startled deer (Lu Shiche * Shen Zhouchen)

Shen Zhouchen always remembered that late night. He emerged from a corner of the alley, covered in dirt and blood, and walked over to her with a gloomy expression. He pinched her chin between two fingers and told her he liked her.

That was the first moment she fell for him.

'Only when you say you like me will I stop living this way.'

[3] Mischievous, scheming young master x bright, adorably slow-on-the-uptake girl (Fu Chengan * Shu Wanhui)

Shu Wanhui was startled to find herself on a blind date with Fu Chengan without knowing who he was.

She edged closer to him cautiously and asked in a soft voice, "You'll turn down this engagement, right?"

Fu Chengan suddenly looked up and smiled at her. "When I get back, I'll say I'm extremely pleased with you."

How could he refuse a match he'd personally asked for?

'How can I remember the memories I want to keep if you don't help me?'

[4] Swimming champion x talented singer-songwriter (Jin Nanqing * Dong Linlang)

The first time Dong Linlang nearly drowned, Jin Nanqing saved her. The second time she nearly drowned, it was because of Jin Nanqing.

"Why did you pull my swim ring?"

"I was helping you."

"How did that help me? If I knew how to swim, would I need to wear a swim ring? Do you know how scared I was just now?!"

Dong Linlang burst into tears and clung to Jin Nanqing.

Jin Nanqing was stunned.

Should he take her back to the pool and let her calm down?

'All the love and all the things I lack are only so I can meet you.'
