Sweet Scum

1.

The next time Sang Tingyun saw Xia Shengye, it was hardly a dignified reunion.

Her friend had failed to flirt with someone and egged her on to ask for his contact information. With alcohol going to her head, she spotted a familiar-looking back and acted on impulse.

Before she could even say the words "handsome guy," she met a pair of indifferent, languid eyes.

Seven years later, she'd hit on her first boyfriend. Sang Tingyun really should have checked her horoscope before leaving the house. What rotten luck.

Later, Xia Shengye stood by the bed with a cigarette between his lips and asked, "So how are you going to take responsibility?"

Sang Tingyun: Take responsibility? For what?

It was consensual. Why should I be the one to take responsibility?

2.

Xia Shengye still remembered how innocent Sang Tingyun had been when they first started dating.

She'd blush to her ears when they held hands, and her cheeks would turn red when they kissed.

Their romance had been as pure as milk.

But now...

She was a skilled kisser, took the initiative, and was passionate and uninhibited!

Xia Shengye was practically drowning in jealousy, sour as lemon juice mixed into vinegar.

One day,

while Sang Tingyun was half asleep, Xia Shengye asked her, "Why are you so good at kissing me?"

Sang Tingyun's eyelids drooped with sleep as she mumbled, "You get good at it after doing it a lot..."

Xia Shengye: ...

The vinegar jar exploded.

[Must-Read Guide]: 1. If you don't like the characters, it's best to stop reading. I never intended to write perfect characters. They have flaws.

2. Two stubborn, awkward people. The male lead is very jealous, and neither of them feels secure in the relationship.

3. No writing advice, please! I'm sensitive, and I won't listen!

[The following is the blurb for my upcoming work, Fake Tears]:

-

Qiao Shuang took in a homeless boy.

She knew him well. He was the child from next door, always covered in bruises. His family lived in a mansion, yet he wore a shirt washed until it had faded white.

It was raining heavily that day.

After shopping, Qiao Shuang was driving home when she passed the neighboring house and saw the boy huddled in a corner outside the door, soaked by the rain.

Feeling sorry for him, Qiao Shuang took him home.

Who knew she hadn't brought home a cuddly puppy, but a damn wolf cub!

And the kind that bites while crying!

-

Qiao Shuang never expected Yi Xie to cry so much just to win her over.

When she wouldn't let him call her, he'd cry on the phone.

When she wouldn't let him hold her hand in person, he'd start crying again as soon as she turned around.

His tears fell as if they were free.

And Qiao Shuang fell for it every time, eventually letting him win her over through all that crying.

The day they made their relationship official, Yi Xie hugged her with a wounded look. "So can I kiss you now?"

Qiao Shuang looked up. "No."

Yi Xie: "Waaaaah!"

#A gorgeous, carefree older woman × a wolfdog younger man who uses eye drops to fake-cry when he can't cry for real

#She is three years older than him. The male lead won't fall in love while he is underage.

#The blurb may change, but the core premise will stay the same.
