A Gentle Crossing

This is a bonus chapter featuring the secondary couple from Missing You Sometimes. My next book is You, You. Childhood friends at school, with some showbiz. Thanks for adding it to your collections! The blurb for You, You is below. Blurb: Song Yingying, who had never been in a relationship, received her first confession on a bustling summer night. Someone led her, in a daze, onto the sports field, where she found herself surrounded by heart-shaped candles. A crowd of onlookers who had no idea what was going on cheered enthusiastically, shouting, “Say yes! Say yes!” Her scalp tingled, her hands and feet curled up, and her toes nearly tore through the soles of her shoes as she tried to dig a Great Wall of China into the ground on the spot. Just as she was wondering how to turn him down gracefully, someone rushed in with a fire extinguisher and doused all the candles. Gao Ming He, wearing his middle school uniform and carrying his schoolbag over one shoulder, held the fire extinguisher and looked at her as if she were beyond help. “My dad said we can't date before we're older.” Song Yingying was baffled. She was already twenty-one. What did he mean, dating too young? P.S.: 1. The woman is four years older than the man. There are no romantic or intimate scenes while either character is underage. 2. This is a secondary couple from Missing You Sometimes. It's a short story. 3. The plot is slow-paced and focused on everyday life. Pre-release blurb for You, You Childhood friends, from kindergarten to the wedding dress Radiant, beautiful screenwriter x young award-winning actor who says one thing but means another Both are virgins ★★ Blurb: [1] Miao Ling and Cen Yan Zheng were the same age. Miao Ling's birthday was in August, and Cen Yan Zheng's was in May. Miao Ling: Eight is greater than five, and I'm older than you, so I'm your big sister. They were both three years old at the time. Cen Yan Zheng believed her completely and called her “big sister” for the next six months. Since he called her his big sister, Miao Ling felt she had to act like one. To stand up for Cen Yan Zheng, she bit a classmate's bottom in kindergarten, punctured a classmate's bike tire in elementary school, and helped Cen Yan Zheng collect gifts and love letters in middle school, all with great enthusiasm. [2] One day, a boy gave Cen Yan Zheng a love letter and asked him to pass it on to Miao Ling. He tore it up on the spot. When Miao Ling found out, she cried with anger. “Do you have any idea how hard it is to get a love letter? And you just tore it up?” Cen Yan Zheng: How many do you want? I'll write them for you! Miao Ling: Get lost! [3] Jobs were hard to come by for screenwriting graduates, and more than half her classmates switched careers after graduation. Stubborn Miao Ling became an assistant screenwriter, writing and doing odd jobs around the clock. She did the most menial work for the lowest pay. Roommate: Cen Yan Zheng's already won Best Actor. With connections like that, why don't you take advantage of them? Miao Ling: Even if I have no money for food and starve, or work all night and die of exhaustion, I won't take advantage of him. Three days later. Miao Ling was in tears and snotters. “I worked so hard for more than six months, and now they've taken away the credit they promised me in advance...” Cen Yan Zheng handed her a tissue, lips pressed tight as he pretended not to understand what she meant. [4] “Teacher Huang, how is Yan Zheng feeling about it? This role was practically tailor-made for him.” Agent Huang Shu Qi gestured toward Miao Ling, who was sitting at the far end, and smiled. “Yan Zheng said he'll do it if she writes the script.” Miao Ling: Now that's what I'm talking about!
