[Gorgeous, radiant hot pot restaurant owner x sweet junior who plays the pig to eat the tiger]

1. To Bai Yuwu, a boyfriend was just a long-term dinner companion. Once she got bored, she found a new one.

That was until she happened to meet a younger student.

Well-behaved, sensible, and clingy.

"Sis, how many guys have you dated?"

Bai Yuwu answered dismissively, "Enough to fill a mahjong table."

"Then can I be your fifth boyfriend?"

Bai Yuwu parted her lips and smiled at him. "I meant one hundred and eight."

A player never wastes time on a good student.

But later, she fell hard.

2. Xie Ting's dorm won first prize in the academy's tenth Red Moon Cup competition.

To celebrate, they booked a table well in advance at the most popular hot pot restaurant near the school.

Only when it was time to pay did they notice the girl at the counter. Her red spaghetti-strap dress made her skin look even fairer, and she seemed out of place in the steamy hot pot restaurant.

She looked up at them, lips curving into a charming smile.

"Five hundred and seventy-eight yuan. Since you're good-looking, I'll give you a discount. Pay five hundred and twenty."

No one knew that after that smile, Xie Ting dreamed about her for three nights in a row.

3. For a long time after they got together, Xie Ting kept up his obedient, well-behaved act without slipping.

Until...

He was celebrating his roommate's birthday at a bar, and his friends teased him because he was always being dragged to group activities.

"Your sister keeps you on such a tight leash? She won't even let you go to a bar?"

"Heh." The young man chuckled and immediately denied it. "Of course not. Sis is sweet and obedient, just a little clingy."

They had all watched Xie Ting pursue his crush, so naturally no one believed him.

But just as he finished speaking, a woman's voice came from the booth next door:

"So my little brother drinks?"

He'd been caught red-handed.

All anyone heard was that the young man spent ages trying to coax her afterward.

#Saying I love you feels too shallow. I'd rather eat with you#

P.S. An ordinary older-woman-younger-man romance, from an author who's still trying her best to improve.

This story is entirely fictional, just for your enjoyment. My writing is limited, so if you really don't like it, feel free to leave~

Upcoming novel: Taking Advantage of Softness

Blurb:

"I know he's as distant as the moon, yet he feels so close to my heart."

Weibo.

1. Meng Xinyue first met Yu Zhihan when her best friend dragged her to the airport to welcome her idol.

She had just turned eighteen and was experiencing the stirrings of a crush for the first time. Her heart pounded wildly.

Back then, she never imagined that on her twenty-second birthday, she would get a marriage certificate with the god in her heart.

The man said only one thing, from beginning to end.

"Keep the marriage certificate. Contact my assistant if you need anything."

2. Meng Xinyue had been in the entertainment industry for two years and accumulated wave after wave of antis.

She refused leading roles and kissing scenes, used public funds to chase her idol, and was spoiled and affected.

Even her own father couldn't stand it anymore and begged her to come home and inherit the family fortune.

3. The two of them maintained no contact throughout their marriage.

That is, until rumors spread on Weibo that he was marrying someone else, and Meng Xinyue could no longer sit back and do nothing.

But then, on television, a man in a formal suit was being interviewed. "What kind of girl do you like?"

He lowered his eyes, fell silent for two seconds, then answered, "Sexy ones."

Meng Xinyue, who had been praised for being cute since childhood, was devastated.

At last, she understood that she had been the only one caught up in this marriage from beginning to end.

4. On the night of Yu Zhihan's concert, a fan confessed to him in front of everyone. It was Meng Xinyue, who had been harshly criticized online.

The man stepped off the stage and walked toward her, one step at a time.

Taking the young woman's hand, he told the crowd:

"Allow me to introduce my legal wife, Meng Xinyue."

Theme: Find the courage to keep moving forward.
