First love for both / healing / strong x strong

When Yao Yue was sixteen, a family moved in next door.

There was an older boy in that family, and everyone praised him with the most beautiful words in the world.

He was also the only beautiful thing in the adolescence she hated.

One afternoon, some school bullies cornered Yao Yue in a filthy alley. Someone shoved her from behind, and she fell into a puddle of dirty water, reeking from head to toe as the kids gathered around and laughed.

Chen Jiale took off his jacket and shielded her from their gaze, shutting out all the cruelty with a layer of fabric.

All she could smell was the scent of soap on the boy.

★ 1v1, four-year age gap.

Upcoming novel: When the Spring Night Falls Silent

Blurb:

1.

At a friend’s introduction, Lin Jinyi goes with her fiancé to a top law firm to draw up a prenuptial agreement.

When she opens the door, she accidentally sees a man smiling faintly as he looks down, his fingers gently tying a little girl’s hair into a ponytail.

Their eyes meet, and both are startled for a moment.

After learning why she has come, Cheng Yejing puts out his cigarette. “Sorry, we’re closed today.”

Lin Jinyi glances at the sign on the glass door that says they’re open.

2.

In high school, Lin Jinyi had a white moonlight in her heart.

Cheng Yejing came from a wealthy family, was popular with everyone, and served as student council president.

The leather shoes on her feet, meanwhile, had been picked up by her deaf-mute mother.

When the school beauty exposed that the shoes were ones she had thrown away,

Cheng Yejing stepped in to defend Lin Jinyi as everyone pointed and whispered.

From that day on, Lin Jinyi fell in love with Cheng Yejing.

Later, they became desk mates, and Cheng Yejing helped her correct her English pronunciation.

Lin Jinyi loved Cheng Yejing beyond all reason.

The boy was always so focused, and for a time, Lin Jinyi filled his life.

Everyone thought they were dating.

Even his friend teased him: “Cheng Yejing, how did you become such a lovesick fool? You’re ditching me for a girl?”

But a heavy rain shattered the girl’s beautiful dream, and it died on that typhoon night.

Lin Jinyi returned to school to get her raincoat.

She ran into Cheng Yejing embracing the school beauty.

Lightning flashed through the dark, and with a bang, the wind blew the window open.

Cheng Yejing turned his head, and his eyes met Lin Jinyi’s.

In his eyes, Lin Jinyi saw the bitterness of loving someone he could never have.

Later, that same bitterness of loving someone he could never have appeared in Lin Jinyi’s eyes.
