The Warmth of Everyday Life

Upcoming story: "And Then You Appeared," blurb below.

Blurb:

When Xi Lan was little, she had a grand dream: to become a maritime police officer like her grandfather and protect the country's sea borders.

But after growing up into a happy-go-lucky slacker, she had long forgotten her childhood wish.

It was Xu Chen who braved every obstacle and got into Xiangcheng Maritime Police University, all so he could find her.

When he fell in love with her, he fell in love with her dream, too.

Blurb 2:

When Xu Chen saw Xi Lan again, he recognized at once that the woman with the faint smile was the "tomboy" who used to sexually harass him when they were kids.

Xu Chen had always thought she was a boy, so he always let her nap with him under the same blanket.

He never imagined that the little buddy who loved clinging to him would one day wear a skirt.

Then she transferred to another school.

He never expected to meet in Green City the girl he had thought about day and night.

When they reunited, Xu Chen used every trick he had to finally claim a place in her heart. He plotted carefully, advancing step by step. He wanted her, and he wanted to possess her, body and soul.

At last, this woman had eyes only for him and could no longer bear to be apart from him.

Blurb for "And Then You Appeared":

The evening breeze drifted by. Bian Jing lay on a sofa on the cruise ship's deck, her foot braced against the man's broad back. With her almond-shaped eyes half closed, she mumbled, "So then."

"No fooling around."

He closed his laptop, took off his glasses, and massaged the bridge of his nose. Turning toward her, he grabbed her ankle and said, "You should call me Uncle."

At that, Bian Jing opened her eyes, clouded with drunkenness, lifted the leg he hadn't restrained, and kicked him in the chest. Pouting, she said, "Uncle? My grandmother only had one child, my mom. So whose uncle are you?"
