Sweet Addiction

The story is complete!! The next book, "Burning Addiction," is now underway~

[1]

On her fifteenth birthday, Ji Yin learned that she was not the Ji family's biological daughter.

On a snowy night, she dragged a tiny suitcase out of the Ji family's villa and moved away.

The apartment block slated for demolition was old and messy. Holding a small umbrella, Ji Yin carefully avoided the puddles on the ground.

At the same time, she looked everywhere for the person who had said they would come pick her up.

At the end of the alley, a boy with a ferocious look pummeled someone with a few punches. The man instantly collapsed like a dead dog.

Ji Yin hurriedly covered her mouth with her little hands, too frightened to make a sound.

But the boy turned around and looked her up and down. His dark eyes were pitch-black, and his voice held no warmth. "You're Ji Yin, right? All right, come home with me."

Ji Yin: "..."

Can I still make a run for it? QAQ

During a break from playing pool, a few boys chatted.

"Ang, I heard that new little sister of yours is gorgeous, like a little fairy. Right? Right?!"

Duan Ang flicked away his cigarette ash and said coolly, "She's okay, I guess."

Later...

At the school's arts festival, everyone wore the same clothes and shoes. They didn't fit Ji Yin well, and she rubbed her feet raw.

They were bleeding, and it really hurt.

Just as she was worrying about how she'd get home that night, the brother who had barely spoken to her lately came over.

His expression was still cold, but he carried her on his back.

That night, the summer breeze was cool, and the air held the faint fragrance of locust blossoms.

Duan Ang carried the girl home, hoping in his heart that the road would never end.

In the past, whenever the young heiresses from her old circle talked about Ji Yin, they wore looks of eager anticipation, waiting to see a spectacle.

How could anyone endure going from a life of luxury to living in poverty?

But later, at a banquet, the richest man in all of City A, a man countless socialites adored, crouched down in front of Ji Yin.

Carefully, he took one of the girl's slender, pale feet and stuck a bandage over the spot where her shoe had rubbed her skin raw.

My new book, "Craving Her," is now underway. Please add it to your favorites, cuties~

At the end of August, Ruan Zhen reported to her new school with a face bruised blue and purple from a fall, so battered that her original features were impossible to make out.

At the end of the asphalt road, scorched by the sun,

a boy lounged against a black supercar, surrounded by a crowd, while a girl stood on tiptoe to eagerly light his cigarette.

Zhou Bochen kindly warned her,

"They're all rich kids who don't study or do anything useful. Especially Pei Zhou, the one in front. He's rotten and wild. Zhenzhen, don't be like the other girls and fall for his looks."

Ruan Zhen remembered the glance she'd gotten of him just now and felt no fondness for him.

-

By the supercar, a few boys had also spotted the two of them.

They all knew Pei Zhou and Zhou Bochen didn't get along, and not one of them held back with their insults.

"Well, well, Zhou Bochen even wiped that girl's sweat for her. Are they dating or what?"

"Haha, his taste must be pretty bizarre if he's into that disfigured face."

Amid the laughter, no one noticed

Pei Zhou's jaw tightening. Ash fell again and again from the cigarette between his fingers, but he didn't move at all.

His pitch-black eyes were still fixed on that slender figure, soon to disappear from view,

with mad jealousy suppressed deep in their depths.

-

A little over a month later, Ruan Zhen's injuries healed,

revealing her original, stunningly beautiful face.

As she passed a room, she heard Pei Zhou's friend joking with him: "Ruan Zhen is so beautiful now, and she's Zhou Bochen's childhood sweetheart. If you win her over, Zhou Bochen will be furious, Brother Zhou."

Ruan Zhen stopped in her tracks.

Before long, needing something from him, she took the initiative and confessed to Pei Zhou.

The girl's eyes were clear and limpid. She looked nervous, yet was almost too honest. "I know you're nice to me because of Zhou Bochen, and that you want to pursue me. I can be your girlfriend."

The lazy look on Pei Zhou's face vanished. His dark eyes gazed deeply at her. After a long moment, he parted his lips with a smile, returning to his usual nonchalant manner. "Sure."

When the two started dating, the girls were jealous and confused.

"She's pretty, but she's so stiff and boring. Pei Zhou is only playing around with her."

Everyone thought Pei Zhou was only caught up in a passing whim, Ruan Zhen included.

No one expected them to stay together until after the college entrance exams, when Ruan Zhen was the one who dumped him and went abroad.

Years later, at a class reunion,

Pei Zhou, who hadn't attended, was still the center of conversation. Everyone talked about him without a care in front of Ruan Zhen: young and accomplished, dominating the business world, and worth more money than anyone could count.

No one thought there was still a chance for the two of them, Ruan Zhen included.

Until the man kissed her until her tongue went numb, her breathing and thoughts in complete disarray. She gazed at him with damp eyes, utterly confused. "I thought you were really angry with me."

"I'm furious."

Pei Zhou gently bit her lip. Taking advantage of the moment she parted her lips, he pressed his tongue inside again and kissed her even more fiercely. "But that doesn't change how madly I love you."
