Possessive Exclusivity

[The print edition of Obsession is now available] [Fantasy-themed bonus chapters on Weibo] The day Shi Wan moved to Qingcheng, dark clouds loomed overhead. The rain was fierce that day. Seeing a silent boy kneeling expressionlessly in the courtyard, she hesitated for a long time before going out to hand him an umbrella. Later, Shi Wan heard that he was He Xun, the boy no one at Qingcheng No. 1 High School dared to provoke. The boy, whose right eye was wrapped in gauze, was wild by nature. Rumor had it he'd committed a serious offense and been banished to this remote northern city. She grew a little timid and wanted to stay away from him. But one day after school, He Xun cornered her in an alley. "No..." Shi Wan was terrified. "You don't have to return the umbrella..." At that, the boy's eyes darkened slightly. Then he smiled wildly and arrogantly, leaning down close to her ear. "Then the umbrella's lost. I'll pay you back with myself." * Years later. Gossip columns claimed that He Xun, a big name in the drone industry, must have some sort of ailment. Otherwise, why would he be so abstinent and aloof, turning a blind eye to all the women around him? At the global product launch the next day, a reporter who'd sneaked backstage watched as the usually stern-looking man gently stroked the head of the woman in his arms. "Don't be mad. You know whether I can perform or not, don't you?" He Xun knew there was something wrong with him. From their very first meeting, he'd wanted to keep her by his side, no matter the cost. "I wander alone through this world, all for the sake of finding you, though you came to me late." And then I loved you to the bone, faithful until death."

If that's not your thing, please click x. Let's respect each other. Coming soon: Thirty Seconds Thirty Seconds - 6:00 p.m. Xu Jianian was dragged into a bubble tea shop by a group of friends. The girls by the window immediately turned to look at him. Someone patted his shoulder. "Jianian, the rich girl from the class next door is looking at you again." Xu Jianian curled his lips, nonchalant. "What does that have to do with me?" - 6:05 p.m. Urged on by her friends, the rich girl shyly sent a girl over. "Ask him for his WeChat." The entire shop heard her. The girl in a faded school uniform silently got to her feet. - 6:07 p.m. With everyone watching for a good show, Lin Chu slowly walked over to Xu Jianian's table and lowered her eyes to meet the gaze of the boy lounging in his chair. He spoke first. "No." Lin Chu said, "She likes you." "So what?" Lin Chu didn't answer. Xu Jianian stared at her with a half-smile, holding a straw between his fingers and tapping it lightly on the table. Click, click, click. Thirty seconds later. "So," Lin Chu said calmly, "will you go out with me?" * The biggest piece of gossip of the year at Jiangcheng No. 1 High School: Xu Jianian, brash and unruly, was won over in just half a minute by a shy new transfer student. The rich girl who had a crush on him burst into tears and stormed out, without getting so much as a glance from him. The second-biggest piece of gossip that year: before long, Xu Jianian and Lin Chu were acting like strangers and had nothing to do with each other. It was obvious they'd broken up. Nobody thought it was strange. Xu Jianian was Xu Jianian: rebellious, carefree, and wild. He'd only dated Lin Chu out of boredom, just for fun. What nobody knew was this. That evening, after everyone else had left, Lin Chu expressionlessly pried her hand from Xu Jianian's palm, using every bit of strength she had, little by little. "Let's break up." There were red marks on the back of her hand where he'd squeezed it hard. "Now." * The night after the college entrance exams ended. Lin Chu received a text from Xu Jianian. "A Chu, your thirty seconds, my ten thousand years." Theme:
