I Know You Have a Crush on Me

[Complete. My new novel, The Moon Doesn't Lie, is now serializing. Please add it to your favorites!]

When Song Liqing was six, she fell for the handsome older boy next door and declared that she would marry him when she grew up.

The boy smiled and agreed, promising to marry her once she was old enough.

But the very next day, Song Liqing went with her grandmother to Jiangnan, and they were apart for six years. When they met again, she had another boy by her side.

Lu Xiuyan kept smiling on the surface as if he couldn't care less, then privately had a friendly little chat with the boy.

At twenty-three, Song Liqing finally married the older boy she'd loved for years. Her dream was to spend their married life wrapped up in sweet, affectionate bliss.

She never expected reality to greet her with his dismissive, "As if I'd want you."

Little scenes:

The secretly jealous edition:

Song Liqing burned her hand, so Lu Xiuyan took her to the hospital. The doctor was tall and handsome, and Song Liqing, with no idea what modesty was, kept staring at him.

Unable to take it anymore, Lu Xiuyan put a hand between them, blocking their line of sight. Smiling at the doctor, he said, "There's something wrong with her eyes. I'm afraid she'll infect you."

"..."

The spectacular double-standard edition:

Lu Xiuyan is a neat freak and never lets anyone ride in the front passenger seat. No particular reason, he just doesn't want you there.

On their way to the Lu family home for dinner, Song Liqing didn't want to sit beside him in awkward silence. Before her hand could reach the rear door handle, he lowered the window and glanced up at her. "Get in the front. I'm not your chauffeur."

"..."

The shameless, tsundere edition:

A photo of Song Liqing leaving a hotel with a celebrity went viral, and by the next day she was at the top of the trending topics, besieged by a storm of attacks.

At last, someone couldn't hold back and posted on Weibo: "Honey, where did you put the tie I just bought? I can't find it. @A Cup of Warm Tea"

Then Weibo crashed again.

A resourceful, dramatic, many-sided little fox who can bend and bounce back VS a shameless, sharp-tongued, tsundere big bad wolf.

*You are irreplaceable to me.

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

The Moon Doesn't Lie is currently serializing!

Blurb:

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

People teased that they were a perfect match in every way, and should just get together.

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

Chu Yitian wasn't his type at all.

Chu Yitian was always quick to develop a crush, and her reasons were simple:

Nice hands, handsome, good grades...

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

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

Xie Nanzhu's WeChat background was a photo of Chu Yitian feeding seagulls at Dianchi Lake, secretly snapped during a trip with both their families.

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

Chu Yitian first met Xu Ziwei at Zero Color Bar. Xu Ziwei was kissing a girl passionately, but his eyes were smiling at Chu Yitian.

Her first impression was that Xu Ziwei was dangerous. There was no warmth in his eyes, so Chu Yitian kept her distance.

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

At a gathering, their friends asked Xu Ziwei if he really liked the girl he was pursuing so enthusiastically.

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

Later, in the pouring summer rain, Xu Ziwei sat on a soaked bench, holding Chu Yitian tightly around the waist. In a pleading voice, he asked if she could like him just a little, even a tiny bit.

Chu Yitian said nothing. She thought Xu Ziwei looked like a stray dog with nowhere to go.

She pitied him. That was all.

A pick-your-ship story.

Childhood friend VS newcomer.

Theme: I don't know.
