Here's a plug for my new novel, When Rain Falls over Jiangbei (complete, free for a limited time).

Lu Xianyan and Lin Wan's story began that night. After watching Lin Wan run 200 meters with a weighted load on her back while carrying Yu Fei, he suddenly thought, This girl is something else! At least when it comes to strength, hardly anyone could match her!

A week later, his zipper got caught on Lin Wan's wig, and he successfully shed the aloof persona he'd spent years cultivating.

"Is this girl your curse or something?"

"No," Lu Xianyan cut in without hesitation. "This is love!"

And their love really did begin on that rainy day.

Lu Xianyan's love for Lin Wan wasn't some dramatic, all-consuming passion.

It was just that rainy night in Jiangbei, when he walked the tipsy young woman back and helped her knock on her dormitory door.

He's an academic advisor in the Department of Chemical Engineering, and she's a perfumer determined to sneak into the lab.

"You look kind of familiar."

"You look like his girlfriend, don't you?"

"King Wen of Zhou carried Jiang Ziya for eight hundred steps, securing eight hundred years of rule for the Zhou dynasty."

"And your point is?" Lin Wan asked, lying across Lu Xianyan with a puzzled look.

"I carried you for eighty steps. I want to book the next eighty years with you."

Someone asked: What's it like dating your academic advisor?

A student: "Mr. Lu, someone's trying to steal your girlfriend!"

Lu Xianyan: "Give him this unfinished engineering drawing assignment. Tell him Professor Liu says if he doesn't get a perfect score on the final, he'll fail the course!"

A student: "But... the highest possible score is 100."

Amateur perfumer x chemistry department advisor

A love story about bottles and jars.

Shen Yunluo and Chen Yuran were sworn enemies, all because he tripped her with a bottle on the first day of school. But Chen Yuran kept turning up wherever Shen Yunluo went, watching her fail to win over her crush and watching her cry herself to pieces in the snow. "How can this girl be so clueless?" Chen Yuran thought. Still, he picked her up out of the snow and beat up the guy for her. After that, they celebrated New Year's Eve together, spent Christmas together, and weathered the frightening age of sixteen together, then walked together into each other's future. The sun was shining brightly that day. Beneath a cloud shaped like an elephant, Chen Yuran welcomed the girl he loved most. Ten years later, in the little house they shared, they argued, made up, laughed, and played around. "I never thought I'd only ever love this one girl in my whole life." Chen Yuran watched the girl bustling about in the kitchen. One look, and he knew it was forever. "I'm only ever gentle with one cloud!" Mr. Chen said. (A super-sweet youth romance about loving just one cloud for a lifetime.)

Theme: Everyone has their own youth, but our nostalgia for those years seems much the same.
