Springtime Wildfire

Looking for readers to save my upcoming novels "Avoiding Him" and "Admiring the Green Mountains." Check my author page, and sending you a heart~

Cen Shuang's maternal aunt was young and beautiful, and married into the wealthy Lu family in the capital.

In her senior year of high school, Cen Shuang had to stay with the Lu family for a while. The family had a brother and sister who were notorious for their bad tempers and unruly, domineering ways. They spent every day making fun of Cen Shuang. She was timid and did her best to avoid them, but under the same roof, they were bound to cross paths sooner or later.

When the family cat went missing, Lu Wanwan, the Lu family's precious daughter, blamed Cen Shuang for failing to keep an eye on it. In the middle of the night, she drove Cen Shuang out and ordered her to find the lost cat.

In the dead of night, with a torrential rain pouring down, Cen Shuang hid by the roadside and sobbed. A black car passed her, then backed up a few seconds later and stopped beside her. The rear window lowered, revealing a refined, cool-looking face. The man turned his head slightly to look at Cen Shuang. At that glance, she saw the cat in his arms.

"Want me to take you back?" he asked.

Cen Shuang remembered him. His name was Lu Tingzhou, a young heir to the main branch of the Lu family. The brother and sister would never dare act out in front of him.

Lu Tingzhou, the eldest young master of the Lu family, was refined and haughty, and never liked getting involved in other people's affairs. The one time he reached out to help, a young girl followed him home.

The girl had a sweet tongue and was always saying sweet things to please him.

He raised her until she was twenty, watching her grow confident and bright, standing tall and graceful like a sturdy sunflower. Then he suddenly realized that at some point, the girl had stopped calling him "Gege." So he asked jokingly, "Shuangshuang, you've grown up. How come you don't like calling me Gege anymore?"

Cen Shuang looked into his eyes. After a long while, she finally called him Gege once more. It was just like before, yet somehow different.

Lu Tingzhou felt uneasy, but he didn't understand why.

-

Seventeen-year-old Cen Shuang was insecure, sensitive, and timid. On that stormy summer night, she met the person who would save her.

-

Cen Shuang: I call him Gege, but I know I don't want him to be my Gege.
