Will You Watch the Moon With Me?

/A secretly smitten, taciturn male lead whose love comes true / Sweet romance / Childhood friends /

One day after they got together, Cheng Banli was scrolling through her social media feed and saw other people showing off their love with a whole basketful of cheesy lines.

Thinking of her own aloof younger brother, who never liked to talk, she instantly turned into a jealous lemon.

She pinched Qin Ran, who was quietly peeling a tangerine for her, and began her 108th act of mischief that day. "You never say sweet things to me. Does that mean you don't love me?"

Qin Ran looked up at her, his low voice full of helplessness. "...No."

His long, slender fingers offered her a perfectly peeled tangerine segment, but the girl refused to eat it in a huff.

Cheng Banli folded her arms and puffed out her cheeks. "Hmph. Say something sweet to make me happy today, or I'm not letting this go."

Qin Ran: "..."

Later, Cheng Banli watched as the boy beside her turned redder and redder around the ears. His thin lips moved, but for ages he couldn't manage to say a single thing.

The genius top student in everyone else's eyes had been stumped by one simple line of sweet talk.

Just as she began to waver, wondering whether to let him off the hook, Qin Ran finally spoke.

"Would you... like to look at the moon together?"

This time, Cheng Banli finally ate the tangerine segment Qin Ran offered her.

A little while later, she murmured, "It's so sour." Yet a rosy blush bloomed across her porcelain-white cheeks.

Qin Ran tried a segment too.

It was obviously sweet.

Please add my upcoming story, Don't Treat Me Like This, to your favorites. The male lead gets hurt, and the female lead has someone she can't forget.

After breaking up with her first love, Wen Ning got a whim and flirted with a high schooler working part-time at a convenience store.

The high schooler was called Shen Yi, and he had a lot in common with her first love: tall and slender, quiet and clean-cut, good at school, and from a poor family.

The inexperienced boy couldn't resist her sweet words and fell for her before long.

Wen Ning was just having some fun. From the start, she never intended for it to last.

After spending some time together, Shen Yi gradually saw Wen Ning for who she really was: hot and cold, full of lies, and never taking him seriously.

Still, he held on to a glimmer of hope and couldn't bring himself to let go.

After the college entrance exams, Shen Yi came out of the exam hall and waited all night at the place they'd agreed to meet, but she never showed up.

All he got in the end was news that she'd suddenly moved away, blocked him on every contact platform, and sent him a text saying 200,000 yuan had been deposited in his account. Her message contained only three words: I'm sorry.

Shen Yi searched the whole city for her and couldn't find her. He thought he'd never see her again in his life.

But years later, he happened to spot her walking alongside a boy in a school uniform.

The boy looked remarkably like him.

One night after they got back together, Wen Ning was asleep when the man beside her suddenly pulled her into a tight embrace.

The man, who had long since risen to a position of power and remained calm and composed no matter what he faced, now revealed a hint of indescribable grievance and vulnerability.

He seemed to be dreaming of something from long ago. Holding her tightly, he spoke in a husky voice, pleading, "Wen Ning, don't treat me like this. Don't treat me like this. You know perfectly well... I can't live without you."

1. The female lead has someone she can't forget; the male lead gets hurt. Happy ending. The male lead is devoted to her in both body and heart.

2. A cool, devoted poor boy X a carefree heiress. Older woman/younger man romance.
