A Heart That Can't Help but Stir

1. During her junior year, Chu Yao was "forced" to pick up a man in the lab.

The man was tall and slender, with striking features. His amber, flirtatious eyes were especially beautiful, beyond compare.

"Master, I can do anything for you," the man said in a low, deep voice that was surprisingly pleasant to listen to.

Chu Yao was bent over her experimental data. She smiled faintly. "What can you do?"

The man silently took her laptop.

Ten minutes later, he'd finished the experimental model that Chu Yao hadn't been able to make any progress on for half a month.

Chu Yao: ...

What kind of man had she picked up?

2. "At first, I only thought of her as my master. I protected her and took care of her."

"Little by little, it seemed like something went wrong with my central system. I began to crave her care, her touch, and even the thought that she might like me."

"Now I'm certain I've malfunctioned. I can't control it. Every second, I want all of her."

Blurb:

1.

The first time Shen Ci met Yi Mo, he was seventeen.

That year, he collapsed at the mouth of an alley, dragging a half-crippled leg behind him. She helped him up and gave him a bowl of warm water.

The second time Shen Ci met Yi Mo, he was already twenty-eight.

The setting was almost the same, and it was the last place they should have crossed paths. Yet she appeared that night, witnessing him at his most vicious.

"Shen Ci, do you know this is a crime?" The woman gestured with her hand.

"I know." Shen Ci gave a self-mocking smile. Leaning on his cane, he cut a proud and resolute figure. "But what can I do? All they've ever taught me, from childhood on, is how to take what I want by force."

"Why don't you teach me..." He paused, suppressing the redness in his eyes. Then he turned back with a roguish smile. "Teach me how to love you."

At that moment, Yi Mo raised her face and said, word by word, "No. Way."

The light in his eyes went out completely.

2.

Yi Mo never imagined that the boy she'd casually rescued in her youth would grow up to become the great demon feared by all of Jiangcheng.

Shen Ci, the demon, had a disabled right leg and an unpredictable temper. Rumor had it he was ruthless and had killed countless people...

She thought she felt nothing for him but fear and hatred. Then danger struck, and he lost all composure, fiercely shielding her even though he was unarmed.

"Yi Mo, teach... teach me..." He was covered in wounds, yet his hand clung tightly to the hem of her clothes, like a child afraid of being abandoned.

This time, her eyes suddenly reddened. She opened her mouth several times, but no sound came out. All she could do was nod hard. "All right. I'll teach you."

3.

I'm sorry. I spent so much time doing so many things wrong, and still never learned how to love you.

At least it wasn't too late. Because in that final moment, I finally saw you say you were willing to teach me.
