Professional basketball player Shen Jiaming shot to fame after leading his team to a comeback in the final quarter.

He hardly speaks and always looks cold. He plays with swagger, but his style is unusual.

Yet he never agrees to interviews. His reasons include:

"I don't want to talk." "I can't memorize a script." "It'll interfere with practice." "..."

He gets blamed for all kinds of strange excuses, and everyone believes them.

Until one sunny afternoon, Shen Jiaming got a phone call and, to everyone's surprise, didn't hang up right away. His eyes filled with warmth as he spoke, then he ignored everyone's curious stares and walked out of the gym.

His teammates followed him in secret and peeked around the corner.

Shen Jiaming was standing beside a young woman, his 1.94-meter frame shielding her from the sun.

He touched her hair and said with a smile, "Let's do the interview in the lounge. I've got everything ready."

The young woman hesitated. "It won't interfere with your practice, will it? You said before..."

"No. Do I look like the kind of person who'd let an interview affect my practice?"

His teammates, hiding in the corner: Is this really the Shen Jiaming I know?

Gu Yue watched the spirited young man on the court. The basketball flew from his hands, tracing a beautiful arc through the air before swishing through the hoop. The fans' thunderous cheers filled her ears, and she smiled along with them.

Her boy

He had a dream. On that court, he was everyone's hero, and the pride of her heart.

This is probably a story about childhood sweethearts reuniting after a long separation. There's sports, but no angst, and lots of sweetness~

Question: What's it like when your ex-girlfriend suddenly turns out to be the heiress of a family your own is close to?

Lu Yan's answer: The one who lives closest gets the moon first.

-

Lu Yan was born a favored son of heaven. With his excellent family background and handsome face, everyone called him "bro". But nobody knew that even he had suffered setbacks.

At his grandfather's command, he attended the eightieth birthday celebration of Grandpa Xia. The official excuse was to offer birthday wishes, but in reality, he was there to get to know the Xia family's heiress.

Everyone could see the business marriage for what it was.

When his buddies draped an arm over his shoulder and asked how the date had gone, Lu Yan raised an eyebrow and answered calmly, "I haven't even met her yet."

His friends looked at each other. They'd just seen him standing face-to-face with the Xia family's heiress, so how could he turn around and say he hadn't seen her?

When they looked again, Lu Yan was nowhere to be found.

Then they spotted him picking on someone.

But who was that girl?

-

Lu Yan had never imagined their reunion would come so unexpectedly. He saw the young woman sitting alone on a sofa in the corner, wearing an expensive evening gown and holding a glass of wine as she coldly watched the sycophants around her.

The stubbornness in her bones set her apart from the socialites and young masters present. He didn't know why she was here. He only knew that this time, he would never let her go again.

-

Xia Lining hadn't expected to see him again so soon. Remembering how Lu Yan had snatched her glass of wine the last time, she could hardly be pleasant to him.

Still, for work's sake, she held back again and again, smiling as she asked him to appear on the cover of the magazine's latest issue.

Lu Yan leaned back in his chair, crossing his legs with a carefree grin. "How about you become my fiancée?"

"..." This guy was such a jerk.

-

Everyone knew the Lu and Xia families were going to join forces through marriage. They just hadn't expected Lu Yan to marry the granddaughter Grandpa Xia had only recently found.

Their romance was passionate, and everyone knew how much Lu Yan doted on Xia Lining.

If she wanted the moon, he'd climb into the sky to pluck it for her.

If she was wronged, he would make sure whoever hurt her paid for it.

-

I once embraced the world, and once saw nothing but desolation. In the end, I still ran to you to embrace and kiss you.
