Check the author's page or scroll down for the blurb~ Er Er [Blurb] [My junior sister is fabulously wealthy, sometimes fierce and sometimes timid] [My senior brother is poor and beautiful, arrogant and shameless] A secret crush is a well-disguised affection. My longing for you is as vast as mountains and seas, yet all I show is the barest hint of it. * The summer before starting university, Xiao Shiguang worked three jobs to earn money. At night, the county town's KTV was a seething mix of people. When he turned down a woman in a luxury private room, he got jumped. After the fight, as he was leaving, he also dragged a young girl out of the room across the hall. Xiao Shiguang: "What's your name? How old are you? What were those men surrounding you going to do?" The girl: "Tao Bai. I'm eighteen. Those people were keeping me company... They wanted me to sing with them." Xiao Shiguang lowered his head and smiled. "Sure you are. Eighteen. You think I haven't seen an eighteen-year-old girl before? Are you short on money?" The girl: "I need somewhere to stay, and someone to cook for me." Xiao Shiguang fell silent for a while, then took the five hundred yuan from his pocket and put it in her hand. "There's a hotel up ahead. Stay one night, then take a bus home. You're too young. Don't do this kind of thing. You'll regret it later." The girl pulled out a thousand yuan and put it in his hand. "Can you cook? Can I stay at your place?" * Six years later. Tao Er began her first year of graduate school at Jingxing University. The research group's workspace had already been assigned, with each new student's name posted on their desk. Xiao Shiguang glanced up, saw the name [Tao Er] on the neighboring desk, and fell into a strange daze. A girl stopped beside him. "Xiao Shi... Senior Xiao." Xiao Shiguang looked up. "Do you know me?" The girl pointed to the name posted on the side of his desk. "It's written here." Xiao Shiguang looked at her for a moment, then smiled. "Oh, so you're Tao Er. May I ask... have you changed your name?" Watching My Masters Brawl [Blurb] On my first day in the sect, my master carried me to an arena eight hundred meters high. He gave the other five masters a sidelong look and smiled ominously. "Watch your master put on one hell of a show." I sat on a little stool and cheered him on. "Go, Master! Beat the crap out of them!" When the fight was over, I ran up and hugged him around the neck, wailing. "Master, wake up! If you're crippled, who's going to cook for me?" A big hand grabbed the back of my collar and lifted me up. He frowned, licked his teeth, and spat out a mouthful of blood. "You're crying over the wrong guy. Damn it, I'm your master!" Many years later, I ran into several of my masters while undergoing a trial in the mortal world. I got drunk at someone else's wedding banquet. Overcome by grievances, I grabbed the groom's sleeve. "I've followed you around like a little puppy and called you Master for all these years. I'm damn happy today, so don't you think it's time you called me your wife?"
