1.

Lin Zh isui's impression of Shen Yu:

Top student, campus heartthrob, untouchable flower, and her current direct boss.

Shen Yu's impression of Lin Zh isui:

Neighbor, meal buddy, roommate, and #￥@%&

Lin Zh isui: ?

"When did I become your roommate?"

Shen Yu pushed up his glasses coolly. "Last night."

Last night, that garbled bit was...

In her muddled memories, Shen Yu's shirt buttons had been pulled off, and his chest was covered in scratches.

Shen Yu lowered his eyes and watched Lin Zh isui's ears grow redder and redder.

She didn't ask, and he couldn't answer.

2.

Shen Yu was a legendary veteran in game development. During a break after returning to China, he took a job as producer on a third-rate game.

Office gossip:

Mr. Shen's face alone has captured the hearts of every young woman in the company.

Gold-rimmed glasses and a white shirt. He's the very definition of a refined scoundrel.

No, he's the cool, chaste type!

Lin Zh isui, forced to overhear: Cool? Chaste?

My waist still aches. : )

Shen Yu, standing beside her, lightly brushed the back of her hand. "I'll agree to everything you asked for this morning. Half as often, and half as long."

"So, can I stop sleeping in the study tonight?"

He had the nerve to bring up the study?!

They were in the study last night!!!

[Bonus scene]

At a class reunion, Shen Yu lost a game.

Someone egged him on: "Senior, can you finally tell us who your unrequited love was back in school?"

Sitting beside Shen Yu, Lin Zh isui suddenly felt a tightness in her chest. The instant she lowered her eyes, his fingers closed around hers.

As everyone at the table waited for the old gossip to be revealed, their fingers intertwined beneath the table. Lin Zh isui tried to pull her hand away, but Shen Yu held on tighter.

His eyes full of tenderness, the man answered seriously, "She's right beside me."

/

Lin Zh isui, that garbled bit was...

That summer, cicadas sang as you stepped into my world.

From then on, the cicadas never stopped, and the summer breeze never faded.

[Cool and headstrong × handsome rogue with a devoted heart] [Childhood sweethearts] [Mutual secret crush] [Rekindled romance]

1.

On her eighteenth birthday, Jiang Cen threw herself a lavish party and invited nearly every party-loving young heir in Beijing's wealthy circles.

Amid the cheers and commotion, Jiang Cen made a grand announcement: tonight, she was going to lose her innocence.

At the last moment, everything was ruined.

Jiang Cen gazed at the tall shadow outlined by the dim yellow light. Liang Jingyan lowered his eyes, his deep, heavy gaze fixed on hers.

He was the heir to the Liang family of Beijing, a favored son of fortune born with a silver spoon in his mouth, idolized by everyone in the wealthy circles.

He was also the person Jiang Cen had secretly loved for years.

Her glossy red lips curved upward, and light shimmered in Jiang Cen's dark, shining eyes.

She lightly hooked a finger around Liang Jingyan's trouser cuff, her soft lips parting and closing. "Then... will you help me, big brother?"

*

No one would think that someone like Liang Jingyan would have anything to do with Jiang Cen. Their backgrounds were worlds apart, and there was also an old marriage agreement between their families. Once their families joined in marriage, Liang Jingyan would become Jiang Cen's brother-in-law.

In a deserted corner, Liang Jingyan cornered Jiang Cen.

"What's the rush? I'll let you bite all you want in a minute."

2.

Jiang Cen and Liang Jingyan's romance was passionate and intense, throwing both families into chaos.

Their breakup was just as decisive.

On a snowy winter night, Jiang Cen stood before Liang Jingyan, her gaze cool.

"Liang Jingyan, the truth is, I don't love you at all."

"Everything I said... was a lie."

Liang Jingyan lit a cigarette and looked up through the pale blue smoke.

"Good." He slowly curved his lips. "Once you leave, don't come back."

*

Jiang Cen came back anyway.

Years later, when they met again, Liang Jingyan was a man of power. At a lavish banquet, everyone smiled ingratiatingly at him. He seemed indifferent, and his gaze toward her was just as cold.

On another winter night, Jiang Cen was heading home after work.

On the cold, empty street, Liang Jingyan pressed her against a car and kissed her.

His voice low and slow, he murmured again and again, "Cen Cen, I know..."

"You lied when you said you didn't love me."

At that moment, the corners of Jiang Cen's eyes burned red.

1. One-on-one romance, both leads are virgins, bittersweet and sweet.

2. The male lead is not engaged, and he doesn't love the older sister.

Theme: Every girl shines in her own way
