Jiang Sui was an aloof loner from childhood, always keeping to himself.

In his second year of high school, a sweet little girl suddenly moved in next door. Whenever she saw him, her smile was as sweet as honey.

One night, thunder and lightning boomed outside, and the loud crying from across the hall made it impossible for him to focus on his book.

Unable to take it any longer, he went over and knocked, hoping to get her to quiet down. But a tiny figure rushed straight into his arms.

Like a soft ball of cotton, she also collided with his heart.

As Yun Shu grew up, she became more and more charming.

Jiang Sui's friends all liked her. She was not only beautiful, but incredibly sweet-tongued too.

Someone joked, "Why let good things go to outsiders? How about I take care of your little sister from now on?"

Jiang Sui: "Get lost."

One day, the girl drank too much at a quiet bar. Jiang Sui carried her upstairs to rest, and when she fell asleep, he gently kissed her forehead.

Yun Shu opened her eyes and blinked. "You kissed me again while I was asleep."

Jiang Sui chuckled softly, his voice full of affection. "I couldn't help myself."

When their friends saw them, they cursed, "Damn, so much for letting good things stay in the family." (2020.02.15)

★ Blurb for White Peach Sweet Kiss

Zhou Mang is the youngest daughter of the Zhou family. She grew up doted on by everyone, and even her arranged marriage was to the Wen family, the most powerful family in Yuncheng, making her the envy of countless people. But Zhou Mang has never liked her fiance, who has done nothing but play pranks on her since they were children.

At a Wen family banquet, Zhou Mang sat with the guests. As the two families chatted and laughed, her gaze fell on the man across from her, who sat quietly yet commanded the room. A mischievous idea took root in her mind.

Wen Jixing was the older brother of Wen Jiaze, the annoying boy her parents had arranged for her to marry. From the first time Zhou Mang met him, he had always been serious. His suits were immaculate, his shirts never wrinkled. He had been a top student at school and was highly capable at work: the quintessential child everyone else's parents wished they had. Zhou Mang both respected and feared him.

To get out of her engagement, Zhou Mang openly approached Wen Jixing, planning to play the part of a lovesick woman whose advances were unreturned. Then no one would have the nerve to tell her to marry Wen Jiaze.

-

Before long, the Wen family finally proposed breaking off her engagement to Wen Jiaze. Zhou Mang was so happy that she planned to invite her friends to party at karaoke for three days and three nights. Then, the next second, her mother told her:

"Since you like your Brother Jixing so much, our families discussed it and decided to have you marry Jixing."

"?"

Zhou Mang was stunned. Pretending to be magnanimous, she said, "Mom, even though I really like Brother Jixing, if he doesn't like me, you don't have to force him. It's not as if I absolutely have to marry him."

But her mother said:

"Your Brother Jixing agreed."

-

Wen Jixing had known from the start that Zhou Mang was up to something. He watched her lay her plans one step at a time, and willingly played along.

It was only much later that Zhou Mang realized she had walked into his trap, while he had made his own dream come true.

Theme: Growing together and keeping each other company.
