A passerby photographed her graceful figure leaning in the doorway as she smoked, and the picture went viral. From then on, her bar was always packed with customers. That year, Wen Su'an was cheated on by her boyfriend of many years. Just as she was at her lowest, she met Lin Si, a rather unreliable man who called her "Miss Wen" as if he were calling her "Baby." Later, Lin Si sat at a windy spot with a cigarette between his teeth, speaking to her lazily and casually. "Wen Su'an, why don't you come with me?" Wen Su'an didn't answer. Instead, she asked if his cigarette tasted good. She wanted to try it too. "This one's strong." "How strong can it be? Let me try." Lin Si lowered his eyes to look at her, narrowed them slightly, then took a drag. He caught her by the back of the head and leaned down, their lips meeting as he breathed the smoke into her mouth. He asked if it was strong. Her eyes reddened as she coughed, and she couldn't answer. That year, they watched the world's passions unfold on snow-covered streets, and rode their bikes recklessly along the rushing riverbank. He was the kind of person who had never appeared in her life before, just as he had said when they first met. "My name is Lin Si. Si, as in reckless." He really was reckless, like smoke: intoxicating and intense. - [A single kiss can turn the world upside down, a single kiss can save someone; a single kiss can steal a heart, a single kiss can kill.], "Kisses Everywhere" 1.

Please add it to your reading list~ The third season of Song and Voice's annual finale came to an end. New singer Song Jinghuai, a dark horse, defeated many veterans of the music scene to claim the annual championship. As people were captivated by his voice, they were also enthralled by his flawless good looks. That night, #SongJinghuai hit the top of the trending searches. Clicking the hashtag revealed a profile shot of a man singing softly with his eyes lowered, his sharp brows and bright eyes brimming with passion. Qin Zhike was the most popular controversial actress of the moment, a master at flirting with men who moved among various male stars. As a result, she had become a thorn in the side of every female fanbase. Recently, a reality show about escaping locked rooms had appeared out of nowhere, with Qin Zhike and Song Jinghuai among its regular guests. Even though Song Jinghuai's fans were unhappy, the production team stubbornly went ahead and filmed the first episode. On the day of filming, people noticed an odd tension between the two, as if they couldn't stand each other. They not only competed to solve puzzles faster, but also sabotaged each other during separate missions, until they managed to trap themselves in a two-person escape room. Song Jinghuai wanted to go left, while Qin Zhike wanted to go right. They argued and even started fighting. Just as the crew was about to stop filming, Song Jinghuai suddenly hoisted Qin Zhike over his shoulder and carried her off to the left without a word. In a languid tone, he said, "What a nasty temper. So stubborn." Production team: ...Can we air this? - Later, gossip bloggers dug up the fact that Qin Zhike and Song Jinghuai had known each other for years and were childhood friends. Netizens joked, "It's hard to see how this ends without a wedding." A few days later, Qin Zhike openly admitted in an interview, "We've known each other for years, but we weren't childhood friends. We have a blood feud." Reporter: "Why?" Qin Zhike: "We used to fight whenever we met as kids. I knocked out four of his teeth, and he split my head open. See this scar on my temple? He gave it to me." One netizen was puzzled. If they had such a blood feud, how could they be so sweet on the show, holding hands and hugging, almost kissing? Qin Zhike quickly replied: [It's all scripted.] Just as netizens were disappointed, Song Jinghuai himself commented on Qin Zhike's reply. [What script? Let me see it.] Theme: Live for yourself
