Deliberately Doting on You

Blurb:

Everyone at No. 7 High School knows that Xu Tinglei is Xie Yao's treasured girl.

But Xie Yao never imagined he'd fall into this girl's hands twice.

Once, when they were young, Xu Tinglei smiled sweetly at him, her eyes crinkling, and Xie Yao's heart melted. Another time, Xu Tinglei glared at him through her tears, and Xie Yao coaxed her even as she threw a tantrum.

Everyone was shocked: the usually stern Mr. Xie had a bite mark on his chin.

He licked the inside of his cheek. "The young lady was throwing a tantrum and bit me."

He wasn't one to let emotions rule him, but he gave all his tenderness to that sweet-smiling girl.

[Little Scene]

The conference room was terrifyingly quiet. The only sounds were pages turning in the contract and pen nibs scratching against paper.

"Ring, ring..."

Who would dare leave their phone on during a meeting? The employees all looked toward the source of the sound. M-Mr. Xie?

Everyone froze, eyes wide as they watched Xie Yao answer the call. His eyes held a tenderness they'd never seen before.

Secretary Xiao Ai, who had gone to high school with Mr. Xie, immediately figured it out: the only person who could break through Xie Yao's limits was Xu Tinglei.

One-on-one, both leads are each other's first and only

Blurb for Twelve Tides:

Chao Xi clasped her hands behind her back, digging her nails into her skin until it reddened. With a clear gaze, she said slowly and firmly that she had never known Jiang Xu.

That day, Jiang Xu really had only kissed her.

The bar was dim and hazy. He smashed several bottles, draped his jacket over her shoulders, and, with bruises beneath his eyes and a hostile expression, pulled her outside.

No one dared stop them along the way. Just as Chao Xi was about to speak, Jiang Xu kissed her in front of everyone.

Chao Xi didn't know it was goodbye. She had been to that garage that looked dusty on the outside, climbed the creaking wooden stairs to the loft, and found the love letter she'd thought had already been thrown away.

...But it wasn't the letter meant for her.

On an almost blank sheet of paper, there were only a few words: "To Chao Xi."

(Rekindled love, both leads' first love, happy ending)
