Steal One More Kiss

(Complete)

[Blurb One]

On a rainy night, a young man barges into a party where everyone is in on the unspoken secret. He's soaked through, but his gaze is fixed on her.

Someone asks quietly.

Meng Qiong stands on the raised platform with the man beside her, her long, pale swanlike neck looking even more alluring under the lights. Her sparkling eyes sweep over him, and her red lips part and close. "Just a kid I know."

The woman's lilting voice stirs desire, putting most of the guests at ease.

The young man's face is as pale as paper. He looks up at the two teasing each other, staring fixedly at their linked arms, his eyes bloodshot as he says nothing.

The party ends after midnight. The hallway's motion-sensor light is faulty. Tipsy, Meng Qiong fumbles for her front door, only to bump into something hard and warm. She screams in fright.

When the light comes on, she sees Ji Tingbai and his cold, vicious eyes, filled with an unknown madness.

That night, he traces her slender waist with his fingers, then brushes her red lips. Leaning close to her ear, he speaks with both love and hatred: "Qiongqiong, you're just taking advantage of the fact that I love you."

[Blurb Two]

On the day of Meng Qiong's engagement, one of her girlfriends stirs the pot: "You keep playing around like this. Won't your boy get mad?"

She folds her arms and sips her wine, then scoffs.

"Then I won't keep him."

-

In my dreams, you smile at me seductively, your bitten red lips beading with blood. From then on, I am defeated.

If you say the word love,

I'll drag you out of my dreams and make love to you until death do us part.

You are all my heroic dreams and tender affections.

-A captivating model x a rebellious young master

-Older woman, younger man; both adults, five-year age gap, one-on-one romance, happy ending

-The hero pretends to be innocent early on; possessive romance. Don't hate on them, neither is a good person.

Coming next: Unasked-for Love

Ruan Ying spent her youth with him, believing they would also walk together through the long nights ahead.

Until their graduation year.

At the New Year's concert, love songs followed one after another onstage.

When the loudest applause rang out, Ruan Ying, seated below, kept her gaze hidden from everyone as she stole a glance at Chen Qinghe.

But she could tell even more clearly that his eyes, just like his burning heart, were fixed on the brightest girl at the center of the stage and had never once moved away.

Ruan Ying waited for him to finish in the heavy snow, and also saw the two of them embrace intimately with her own eyes.

Perhaps Ruan Ying was the only one who felt the cold that night down to her bones. Later, that bastard died, at least in Ruan Ying's heart.

"No matter what kind of rain the forecast says will fall in the next few hours,

I never bring an umbrella.

Watching the hands on my watch move, I know

that you'll always happen to show up."

Later, on a shore more than ten thousand kilometers away, through countless soft, steady rains, the man never again found the pure white umbrella patterned with gardenias.

He smiled as the rainy night swallowed his eyes, and finally remembered all those days and nights he had held her.

Ruan Ying, you were the one who told me

that love should last until death.

-A stoic, cool guy x a gentle, sweet girl
