Roots Take Hold in My Secret Crush

After returning to China following years of study abroad, Qin Wan unexpectedly ran into the niece of an old friend she'd once looked after. Someone was forcing the young woman to drink. Tears welled in her eyes, and she looked so humiliated she was about to cry. Remembering their old connection, Qin Wan took Chen Yingyuan, who had nowhere else to go, home with her. As they spent more and more time together, Qin Wan realized that the girl who could once be soothed with a doll and some candy had grown up to be very hard to coax and quite a handful. At bedtime, she would hug a pillow and knock on Qin Wan's door, curling in on herself, her eyes damp. “I'm scared of the dark. Sis, can you sleep with me?” She got drunk when they celebrated her birthday and wouldn't let go of Qin Wan, pouting as she called out, “Wifey, baby, give me a kiss. You haven't kissed me in ages.” She was impossibly clingy, yet woke up the next day with no memory of what had happened. When she found out Qin Wan had agreed to go on a blind date arranged by her elders, she got so angry her eyes turned red. She rushed to the date to ruin it, then cornered Qin Wan in a dim parking garage and lifted her chin with a fingertip. Her voice was beguiling and dangerous. “Are you really that eager to date, Sis?
