When they were young, Xu Shiyuan wasn't brave enough to do more than secretly admire Nie Zhouze.
The love letter she never managed to give him, the feelings she never dared to confess: she thought time had buried them all.
After years apart, the boy had grown into a dazzling man, and she was no longer the timid girl she'd once been.
So, determined not to let her youth be filled with regrets, Xu Shiyuan took advantage of a moment of confusion and secretly kissed Nie Zhouze.
She thought she'd gotten away with it, unaware that after she left, Nie Zhouze picked up the earring she'd dropped and studied it thoughtfully.
Later, while she was staying at his home, they sat curled up on the sofa reading together. He casually picked up an old love letter that had fallen from the pages of her book.
Xu Shiyuan lunged to snatch it back, hiding the old letter behind her. “It's an old love letter I wrote to someone else when I was young and foolish. There's nothing worth reading.”
He smiled. “I've been pursuing you for so long, and you still won't let me read it?”
“I'm afraid you'll get jealous.”
Nie Zhouze took out the earring of hers that had been missing for so long and slowly put it back on her. “Why weren't you afraid when you stole a kiss?”
x This time, you don't have to be brave. I'll come to you., Nie Zhouze

I have a whole universe I want to tell you about,
but when I open my mouth, not a single star comes out.

My next book, Heartbeat Trap, is open for preorders!
This is a modern-day romance, not a school story.
Cold, untouchable beauty x clear-eyed, pure and wild girl
--
In high school, Shen Xingfu was a hopeless student at the bottom of her class. She idled her time away and hung out with a crowd who were called “good-for-nothings.”
Li Siyu was the untouchable beauty of No. 9 High School. He was top of his year, but kept to himself, aloof and solitary, with a beautiful, world-weary face.
The two had seemed like parallel lines, never crossing, until Shen Xingfu made a big show of pursuing Li Siyu.
“That's right, I have my eye on Li Siyu.” In front of everyone, Shen Xingfu said it without batting an eye.
Outside the crowd, Li Siyu lifted his eyes, cool and indifferent. “Hmph.”
No matter how she tried to get close, he was always cold toward her.
Finally, one day, as the sun sank in the west, their overlapping shadows stretched long across the ground.
Shen Xingfu cornered him at the entrance to a narrow alley, rose onto her toes, and grabbed his uniform collar.
A crack appeared in the young man's usually cold eyes, like a fracture in a sheet of ice.
She leaned closer, but his breathing grew increasingly uneven.
Her voice came from beside his ear. “I was just messing around with them. Play along and pretend I kissed you, okay?”
At her words, his gaze turned colder. He gripped her chin. “Pretend?”
He leaned closer. “If you can't handle it, don't play.”
But after that day, she vanished like a gust of wind. He knew it had all been a prank, yet time and again, in the middle of the night, he dreamed of her grabbing his collar, almost as if he were bewitched.
--
Years later, they unexpectedly met again.
The man took off his mask and asked, “You don't recognize me?”
She replied with polite formality, “Oh, an old classmate.”
But after a while of pretending to be old classmates with no history, the man who had spent so long acting cold and abstinent finally couldn't suppress his long-buried possessiveness.
The cramped space was just like back then. Only this time, he was the one blocking her way.
The man's cool, alluring eyes fixed on her, his voice low. “Do you remember what you did to me that day?”
“I don't have a very good memory,” Shen Xingfu said with an innocent smile. “I've long forgotten what happened back then.”
His smile faded. He lightly pinched her chin and leaned close, speaking softly. “Want me to jog your memory?”
--
“After all, I'm the one imprisoned in your palm.”
“I only let my gaze linger on you in some deserted corner, pretending it was accidental. The sunlight was beautiful, but you didn't smile at me. You didn't even look at me. My world was still plunged in darkness.”, Li Siyu

Theme: Liking you makes me want to shine too
Oh my god, the last extra episode is too realistic and touching, woo woo
Oh my god, the last chapter really made me cry to death. It was so brutal!!
Wow wow wow, the last picture reminds me of my grandparents. My grandfather also passed away more than a year after my grandmother passed away. During this period of more than a year, my grandfather's health began to slowly become worse than before. He often fell ill. Once he had a high fever and even called my grandmother's name in his mouth.
So touching, I couldn't stop crying at one o'clock in the morning?
The last chapter cried to death 😭 I hope this function of VR can really be popularized in the future 😭
The last chapter really breaks the defense, help me
The last chapter made me think of my grandparents inexplicably. I cried for a long time. It was really well written.
