Blushing Love

[Complete. My next novel is called Galactic Trajectory] 1. Lin Xiran and Zhou Qiwen grew up together as childhood friends. Everyone knew she liked him, but Zhou Qiwen was the only one who couldn't care less. He even told her in front of everyone, "Lin Xiran, I could never like you. Give up already." Later, Lin Xiran really did give up on him. In their second year of high school, Lin Xiran got a new deskmate who had returned from studying abroad. He was handsome and came from a good family, but he was aloof and arrogant, a fearsome guy everyone kept their distance from. He and Lin Xiran, who had grown up sheltered in a greenhouse, seemed to belong to two different worlds. Lin Xiran was afraid of him and quietly kept her distance. When someone maliciously posted her diary about her unrequited love on the bulletin board and everyone gathered to laugh at her, it was Liang Xiao who appeared, wiped away her tears, and gently coaxed her: "Don't cry. Come with me." On the day she decided to study abroad, Liang Xiao threatened her: "Fine, go. Don't come crying and begging me to bring you back." But Lin Xiran left without looking back, and didn't return for the next six years. 2. When they met again years later, Liang Xiao had become the new head of the Liang family, a man far above everyone else. She was just an unknown ballet dancer. At the banquet, he stood at the center, surrounded by admirers. His gaze was cool and distant when it fell on her, no longer tender as it once had been. Lin Xiran's nose stung, and she hurriedly left. After a gathering not long afterward, Liang Xiao pulled Lin Xiran into the back seat of his car. He held her chin and kissed her, grinning roguishly as he teased, "Look what I've spoiled you into. You don't even say hello when we meet now." 3. The news that the Lin family's heiress had married the president of the Liang Corporation caused an uproar in their social circle. Everyone said they were worlds apart and would split up sooner or later. At a technology summit a few months later, they saw the usually arrogant Liang Xiao bend down to smooth Lin Xiran's skirt. Lin Xiran even complained petulantly that he was clumsy: "Can't you be gentler? You've wrinkled my skirt." "It's just a stupid skirt," Liang Xiao said with a helpless, indulgent laugh. "How about I buy you a hundred to make it up to you?" Zhou Qiwen walked in just in time to see it, and the sight made his eyes sting. - "The springtime of a boy yearning for love, the blush on a young girl's face as her heart flutters." *Sweet and gentle × aloof and cocky; ballet dancer × rising tech tycoon *Second male lead's regret; male lead secretly in love and finally winning her; from school to city life; reunion after a long separation; sweet romance; happy ending - Synopsis of Galactic Trajectory: 1. Wen Ting and Shen Jingxu grew up together as childhood friends, but they were completely different kinds of people. The former lived under someone else's roof and always followed the rules, with her head buried in her studies. The latter was a favored son of heaven, wild and carefree, and never had the same girlfriend twice. No one thought they would end up together, but Wen Ting never stopped loving Shen Jingxu. At their graduation party, one of Wen Ting's admirers confessed to her. Amid a chorus of teasing, Shen Jingxu walked up to her. Wen Ting froze for a moment, watching as Shen Jingxu asked her in front of everyone, slowly and deliberately, "Wen Ting, are you choosing him, or me?" 2. When they reunited years after breaking up, Shen Jingxu was still outstanding, a rising star in venture capital with a growing reputation. Wen Ting was just as accomplished, and her writing was praised as being worth its weight in gold. On Lunar New Year's Eve, their families gathered for a reunion dinner, and the elders seated them together. Wen Ting softly refused. The elders laughed and teased her that she'd used to sleep cuddled up with him in the same bed, but now that they were grown up, she was shy. After dinner, Wen Ting went out onto the terrace to get some air and clear her head. She ran into Shen Jingxu, who had come out for a cigarette. Wen Ting turned to leave, but Shen Jingxu reached out and grabbed her slender wrist. He leaned close, speaking in his usual shameless tone: "Do they know we still shared a bed after we grew up?" "..." Wen Ting's heart skipped a beat, and the teeth marks on her inner thigh began to ache faintly. 3. Even after Wen Ting and Shen Jingxu completely reconciled, the love letter she'd written him never made it into his hands. One day, while clearing out old things at home, Wen Ting came across the letter by accident. She opened it and found a passage on the back of the yellowed paper: Shen Jingxu's reply to her. "Someone once asked me whether what I felt for you was love or possessiveness. I didn't know the answer when I was young. It wasn't until I saw this letter that I found it. Possessiveness grows from love. Wen Ting, I love you far more than I did when I was eighteen." *Clear-headed and reserved × wild and reckless; freelance writer × rising venture-capital tycoon *Childhood friends; unrequited love becomes mutual; reconciliation after a breakup; a playboy turns over a new leaf; from school to city life; happy ending Theme: Stay true to your original aspirations as you pursue your dreams and grow, becoming better adults together.
