A Polite, Unrequited Love

The entire novel is complete.

Next up, I'm writing "Filming Affection" and "Hard to Hold Back". Please add them to your library!

Blurb:

1. After summer, Sui Xing transfers into Class 3, Grade 11, at Beishi No. 1 High School.

When she first arrives, 16-year-old Sui Xing is pale and thin, and barely noticeable. Before long, she gets the nickname "Little Wheat".

Yang Zheng is the heartthrob of Huaicheng No. 1 High School: handsome, from a good family, and great at science. Later, another trait is added to the list:

He likes tugging on Sui Xing's ponytail.

His deskmate whispers, "Brother Zheng, are you into Little Wheat?"

Yang Zheng glances sideways at his best friend and replies, "Are you blind, or am I?"

Later, Little Wheat grows taller and plumper, her little face as soft and white as a glutinous rice ball.

During PE class, a boy stares fixedly at Sui Xing playing badminton with her classmates on the court, then nudges Yang Zheng.

"Brother Zheng, I've got everything going for me, so why can't I ever get a girl?"

Yang Zheng smacks him on the head, then gets up and blocks the view of the girl swinging her racket in front of them.

"What do you mean, everything? You don't have my face."

Yang Zheng walks over to the badminton court, picks up the shuttlecock that fell to the ground, and returns it to Sui Xing. She smiles and takes it.

That smile dazzles Yang Zheng, and he thinks, I was the one who fattened up this little rice ball.

2. Yang Zheng: "What problem are you working on?"

Sui Xing: "The escape velocity Mercury needs to break free of the Sun's gravity."

Yang Zheng turns and buys a huge pile of snacks at the store. He dumps them on Sui Xing's desk and snatches the pen from her hand.

Yang Zheng: "Eat all of it."

Sui Xing: "Why?"

Yang Zheng wraps his arms around the girl in her seat. "Put on some weight, so even if you want to run, you won't be able to."

Sui Xing thought her polite crush, like Mercury and the Sun, "closest of all, but never getting any closer," would never come true.

But in a cold, loveless universe, he draws her close and whispers in her ear, "I've seen the Milky Way, but you're the only star I love."

A girl who keeps her feelings to herself x the boy who is her sun

Upcoming contemporary romance, "Filming Affection"

Blurb: 1. Tang Yao is a newly promoted variety-show producer, exceptionally talented and coolly beautiful.

Because of her position, her company assigns her to film a documentary about police officers on duty.

Yu Chao is an officer at the Beicheng Police Station, an expert marksman with a tough exterior.

He used to be a sniper in the special forces.

After being injured on a mission, he transferred to the Beicheng Police Station.

On the day they reunite, Tang Yao never imagined she would see her ex-boyfriend, after all these years, through the camera lens in front of her.

But during filming, everyone notices that the two never speak to each other and rarely even exchange glances.

Everyone knows they don't get along, so they do their best to avoid leaving them alone together and to mention one in front of the other as little as possible.

2. After they reunite, Yu Chao sees that Tang Yao doesn't want him around, so he doesn't go out of his way to bother her.

He hopes to hear some news about Tang Yao from her coworkers or his own colleagues.

But every time he casually wanders over, they all fall silent and go back to what they were doing.

Yu Chao: …Should I thank you for being "so considerate"?

Later, Tang Yao gets caught up in rumors linking her to a popular young actor, and gossip reporters surround her when she comes to interview them.

Yu Chao, out on patrol, comes to her rescue, puts an arm around her, and says to the cameras, "Sorry, this is my girlfriend."

"Without you, I'd have already made peace with being alone for the rest of my life."

A taciturn police officer who loves his country and his people, but loves Tang Yao most x a coolly beautiful producer who loves filming and herself, but loves Yu Chao most

Because I love you most, I let you do what you want, even at the risk of losing you.

Because I love you most, I give everything I have on every mission so I can come back to you.
