The Affectionate Bunny and the Aloof Cat

Part 1: Li Yu

In the summer of 2013, Qin Li fell head over heels for the 101st time.

It was an open crush, because she never hid it when she liked someone. She would always eagerly make her way over to them. A few extra words, one more smile, and her heart would be sweet with joy.

This time, though, the object of her affection was a little unusual: a handsome girl with short hair.

Qin Li: Am I... gay?

Well, if I am, then I am. Who could blame me when Li Yu is so beautiful?

A few months after meeting, the two got together. Qin Li became so captivated by Li Yu's looks that she stopped playing games and seeing her friends, and her whole life changed course.

One soft little "Good girl" from Li Yu made Qin Li's heart melt, leaving her eager to give even more of her love.

Her first real relationship was the blazing passion of a midsummer basketball court, the sweet freshness of grass by the river at dusk, and kisses that tasted of tobacco.

But how long could a love at first sight last between lovers who kept each other at arm's length and whose lives were headed in completely different directions?

In the end, after a grand banquet, they made a graceful exit, becoming a pearl treasured in the heart for a lifetime.

Part 2: Luo Yi

In the winter of 2020, six years later, Qin Li's closed heart opened once more.

After a dramatic change in her life and years of struggling to get by in society, she was no longer the naive little girl she had once been.

Yet when she saw that little girl with clear eyes, who softly called her "Sis," her heart began to race again.

Love again, as if you had never been hurt.

Once more, Qin Li became the one to make the first move.

On summer nights spent walking hand in hand, in a hotel scented with geraniums, and on bustling street corners, she found herself a lover once again.

This time, she wasn't charging forward with naive fearlessness. Instead, she was determined to nurture the relationship seriously and prepare for their future.

But a long-distance relationship stretched from seeing each other once a month to once a year. With the pandemic keeping them apart, their painful longing slowly turned to numbness.

How could two people who couldn't hold each other comfort one another and soothe each other's wounds?

In the end, the two who had once told each other everything fell silent. It was better to say goodbye with mutual understanding and dignity.

* A story of red and white roses, sweet with a touch of bitterness. The romance in Part 1 takes place on campus, while Part 2 takes place in the working world. Both are one-on-one romances. The final ending, including who ends up together or whether anyone does, is still undecided (the author doesn't know either), so choose your investment carefully.

* There is one rabbit and two cats. Qin Li is a typical Pisces, Li Yu a typical Scorpio, and Luo Yi a typical Aquarius, or at least that's what Qin Li thinks. Some readers may feel they aren't typical examples of their signs.

* I'm not easily offended. Aside from malicious personal attacks, feel free to comment as you like. Suggestions and error reports are very welcome.

* I have very few things I can't tolerate in a story, so the plot may include things some readers don't like. This story doesn't follow conventional turns, so please think carefully before reading.

Dear readers, please add my upcoming entertainment-industry yuri novel, "Sister-in-Law, Open Up! It's Your Idol!" to your reading lists!

In real life, Yu Xingye is an outsider at school. She wears thick black-rimmed glasses and a black mask, carries her computer everywhere, keeps to herself, and isn't well liked.

Online, she's a newly rising starlet Jiang Wanyin's superfan and exclusive fan. She makes fan art, boosts rankings, organizes data, and attacks rival fan groups. She's a force to be reckoned with in the fandom, and has never stopped supporting Jiang Wanyin, even when she's surrounded by scandals.

No one knows that when Yu Xingye hit the lowest point in her life, it was a long private message from Jiang Wanyin that helped her hold on.

So no matter what anyone else said about Jiang Wanyin, Yu Xingye always believed she was a kind and gentle person who stood on her own two feet. She had simply been exploited and betrayed by a crooked agency and agent, leaving her disillusioned and forcing her to shut herself off from the world.

Then one day, Yu Xingye discovered that the private message she'd cherished had actually been written by that despicable agent, She Lian.

And that wasn't all. She Lian had crafted Jiang Wanyin's hardworking image.

She Lian had guided Jiang Wanyin's career.

She Lian had sent those thoughtful messages to the fan group.

She Lian had prepared the touching handwritten letters and gifts.

Everything Yu Xingye loved was connected to She Lian.

[At first]

Yu Xingye: (╬`[]´)/ You awful old woman! Stay away from our Wanyin! Don't ruin her career!

She Lian: ? Where did this childish little girl come from?

[Later]

Yu Xingye: (✧ω✧) Big Sis, Big Sis, look at me! I'm gorgeous, I'm younger than Jiang Wanyin, prettier than Jiang Wanyin, and sweeter than Jiang Wanyin! Pick me, pick me, pick me, pick me!

She Lian: ...You do have some looks. You're just a little noisy.

(A self-proclaimed) introverted, socially anxious younger exclusive fan and puppy-like pursuer X a mature, scheming older woman, a fake sister-in-law and real agent

✳ This story will begin after "The Scum Pursuer Who Abandoned His Original Partner" is complete, probably in the first half of 2027. It's a short, lighthearted story full of gags. The pursuer has short hair early on and long hair later. One-on-one, pure love, and both leads are each other's first love. Neither has ever been in a relationship with anyone else.

Theme: Grow through life's setbacks. Even after suffering pain and blows, keep smiling, embrace life, and bravely express love and sincerity.
