Like You a Little More

*The entire novel has been revised. It differs from pirated copies, so please support the official release!

*My other novel, A Bite of Spring, is now underway.

1. In their senior year of high school, Sheng Mian's mother said that a boy would be coming to their home for tutoring.

Sheng Mian had just finished her phone call and stepped out of the elevator when she saw him:

A man standing against the door to her home, his eyes lowered, bathed in the light overhead.

The moment he looked up at Sheng Mian, he raised an eyebrow. His voice was clear and cool. "You're Sheng Mian, right? I'm Wen Chengyan. I'm here to tutor you in math."

2. Wen Chengyan was a heartthrob at B University, hailed by the female students as a lofty, untouchable beauty.

In his three years at school, no one had ever seen him with a girl. He barely even spoke to any of them.

There were occasional rumors that he wasn't interested in relationships and had no intention of dating.

3. Not long after, a photo appeared on the campus forum.

In a dimly lit corner by the women's dormitory, Wen Chengyan let a girl pin him against the wall and kiss him. His palm gently stroked her back, drawing her closer.

After some digging, people learned the girl's name was Sheng Mian. She wore her hair in a bun, had peach-blossom eyes, and looked at people with such wide, blinking eyes that you'd want to give her your whole heart.

The post quickly went viral, and that night, countless university girls' hearts lay shattered.

His roommate showed Wen Chengyan the photo. "You said you weren't interested in relationships? That you had no intention of dating? Heartthrob, does your face hurt?"

Wen Chengyan touched the corner of his mouth, which Sheng Mian had bitten until it broke, and smiled lazily. "My mouth hurts quite a bit."

4. Wen Chengyan didn't like getting involved in relationships, but Sheng Mian was different.

She was the one exception to his principles, the one he cherished.

"How much do you like me?"

"I like you just a little more than you like me."

Pampered girl vs. fake goody-two-shoes.

Sweet romance / secret crush / healing.

*The heroine is a high school senior, and the hero is a third-year university student. No dating while she's in high school.

*High school and university.

*One-on-one romance, both chaste.

------Coming soon: Moon in the Pool------

After years apart, Chi Yang happens to become Yue Cheng's landlord.

The man leans lazily against the doorframe, water dripping from the ends of his hair. His lashes lift as his gaze slowly sweeps over her. Beneath his seemingly cool eyes surges a deep, restrained affection.

Yue Cheng's heart skips a beat.

Later, when her studio faces a crisis and she is down on her luck, Yue Cheng discusses ending her lease with Chi Yang.

The man furrows his brow and says nothing.

Yue Cheng tries to prompt him, but he speaks as though they're negotiating, leaving her no room to refuse. "You can stay in this apartment for free, and I'll throw in something else for free, too."

Yue Cheng is taken aback. "What?"

"Me." Chi Yang curls his lips into a roguish smile. "Want me?"

#Get an apartment for free, and get a man thrown in. That's a pretty good deal, right?#

#You wouldn't dare say no, would you?#

#Don't make me beg you.#

Deeply devoted, roguish bad boy x sweet, well-behaved girl.

Mutual secret crush / reunion after years apart / healing.

Campus and city life.

Theme: Study for the rise of China.
