He Only Likes Me

[The full story is complete. My new novel, The Moon Doesn't Lie, is coming soon. Please add it to your reading list!]

Yi Chuan has a pair of captivating peach-blossom eyes, drawing the girls of Yuchuan to him one after another like moths to a flame.

Everyone knows Yi Chuan keeps his distance from women and only loves math, physics, chemistry, and basketball. The girls of Yuchuan can only admire him from afar, never daring to approach.

Then a photo of Yi Chuan pinning Ning Nan against a wall and kissing her went viral in Yuchuan. The girls were left dumbfounded, feeling like the world had turned upside down. They comforted themselves by deciding Ning Nan must have chased after Yi Chuan.

Some even thrust love letters right in front of Ning Nan and asked her to pass them on.

Ning Nan smiled faintly, unbothered. "Don't waste your time. He won't like you."

The girl smirked provocatively. "And what makes you so sure? Are you scared?"

Ning Nan's lips curled slightly. "Because he only likes me."

But after they started dating, Ning Nan spent all her time battling math problems, treating her boyfriend like a mere decoration.

One day, stumped by a difficult problem, Ning Nan finally remembered that her boyfriend was a top student. She grabbed the problem and hurried over to him.

The young master propped his chin on one hand, the corners of his mouth lifting into a lazy smile. He refused flatly. "Someone only has eyes for math. I'm jealous, so I'm not explaining it."

Ning Nan smiled, leaned in, and kissed his cheek. The young master's smile widened. He took the problem from her and tapped his lips. "Next time, kiss me here."

Quiet, reserved genius girl vs. pampered young master with a chronic case of jealousy

Happy ending, one-on-one, both virgins and each other's first love.

*Young love is passionate and pure. Beyond the books in my eyes, wherever I look, there you are.

Coming soon: The Moon Doesn't Lie

[Blurb]

Chu Yitian and Xie Nanzhu grew up together, and among their circle of friends, they were the closest.

Someone joked that they were a perfect match in every way, so why not just get together?

Another friend called that nonsense, saying Xie Nanzhu liked cool, mature older women.

Chu Yitian was nothing like his type.

Chu Yitian always lost interest in things after three minutes, and the reasons she liked someone were simple:

Nice hands, handsome looks, good grades...

Xie Nanzhu had all of those things, but Chu Yitian didn't like him.

Xie Nanzhu gave Chu Yitian a pearl bracelet for her eighteenth birthday. She put it on and never took it off.

Xie Nanzhu's WeChat chat background was a photo of Chu Yitian feeding seagulls at Dianchi Lake, taken candidly by Xie Nanzhu on a trip their families took together.

Chu Yitian didn't know, just as their friends didn't know that Xie Nanzhu had no particular type. He just liked Chu Yitian.

Chu Yitian first met Xu Ziwei at Zero Color Bar. Xu Ziwei was kissing a girl passionately, yet he looked at Chu Yitian with a smile in his eyes.

Chu Yitian's first impression was that Xu Ziwei was dangerous. There was no feeling in his eyes, so she kept her distance.

The next time they met, Xu Ziwei said he wanted to pursue Chu Yitian, but his tone was casual and nonchalant. Chu Yitian called him a scumbag.

At a gathering with friends, someone asked Xu Ziwei whether he really liked the girl he had been pursuing so passionately.

Xu Ziwei smiled and said something cruel. "It's just for fun. She's pretty interesting."

Later, in the height of summer, as heavy rain poured down, Xu Ziwei sat on a rain-soaked bench and held Chu Yitian tightly around the waist. In a pleading voice, he asked if she could like him just a little, even just a tiny bit.

Chu Yitian said nothing. She thought Xu Ziwei was like a stray dog with no home.

She pitied him, and that was all.

A pick-your-favorite romance.

Childhood friend vs. newcomer.

Theme: I don't know.
