The Green Corner

Gentle and reserved heroine × cool, secretly passionate man / secret crush / rekindled love / thrilling wall-stealing romance 1. The first time Wen Li video-called her boyfriend, the person who answered wasn’t him. It was his roommate, Chen Qinggui. The man had pitch-black eyes, thin eyelids and subtle double eyelids. His features were so perfect that even blown up, his face had not a single flaw. Wen Li quickly covered her barely clothed body and pretended to be calm. “Did you pick up the wrong phone?” “No.” Chen Qinggui’s voice was cool and detached. “This is my WeChat account.” Wen Li ended the call and realized his profile picture and nickname were exactly the same as her boyfriend’s. She thought their paths would never cross again. Until one night, by a fluke, he gripped her waist and pinned her on his lap. His heavy breathing filled her ears. Wen Li trembled all over as he leaned down and took her earlobe into his mouth. That was when she learned just how scorching his kisses were. 2. At Jing University, Chen Qinggui was a favored son of heaven: cool, proud, and admired by countless girls. No one would ever connect him with Wen Li, his roommate’s girlfriend. Until one day, someone saw Chen Qinggui holding hands with Wen Li by the lake. Someone tried to debunk the rumor: No picture, no proof. Impossible! Before long, another person posted a photo: Behind a half-raised car window, Wen Li wore the man’s black jacket. A large hand held her slender waist firmly in place as Chen Qinggui kissed her with fierce concentration, biting and sucking at her lips. 3. On the first day of school, Chen Qinggui saw his roommate walk over holding a woman’s hand, beaming as he introduced her. “Brother Gui, this is my girlfriend. Pretty, right?” Chen Qinggui looked at Wen Li, who seemed embarrassed, and slowly replied, “Pretty.” No one knew that although he appeared perfectly unruffled, inside, he was drowning in jealousy. Every second, he was going mad. 1. Content warning: The blurb makes it clear this is a melodramatic story. If that’s not your thing, don’t read it! 2. “I love you, even though it would ruin me” is from Taylor Swift’s “Fortnight.” Theme: Hold on until the clouds part and the moon appears.
