Some Things Are Better Left Unsaid

[Now serializing: Someone Special, a sweet girl and a schemer. Coming soon: Dream First, a crush that comes true]

Su Keyi once had a passionate romance with Yan Chuan. At the height of their relationship, they kissed onstage in front of a crowd.

But before long, she dumped him without mercy.

Yan Chuan cornered her in an alley and asked why.

Su Keyi tossed out a casual, weightless reply: "I don't like you anymore."

Later, a friend told her that Yan Chuan had spent the whole night drinking and calling her name.

Years later, they meet again and become business partners.

But their positions have changed: Yan Chuan is now the esteemed client calling the shots.

To get the job done, Su Keyi has no choice but to serve him with all her effort.

Until one day, Yan Chuan becomes her creditor.

Su Keyi thanks him for helping her out of a bind and tries to smooth things over between them.

"Thanks for lending me the money. I'll pay you back within three months."

Yan Chuan laughs. "Do you think I'm running a charity?"

Su Keyi knew he wouldn't make it easy. "Then give me a deadline."

"A lifetime."

"What?"

"Don't leave me for the rest of your life."

Yan Chuan's biggest regret is that when Su Keyi asked to break up, he left for a distant place instead of holding on to her hand.

Now he's back, and this time he won't let go.

1.

Jiao Zhen saw Xiao Yao again at the scene of her breakup with her cheating boyfriend.

At the time, she was smearing dessert all over the jerk's face.

Then she turned around and saw Xiao Yao watching the show with an amused look.

Jiao Zhen thought: What a rotten day!

2.

Later, things went badly at work, so she quit and returned to her hometown to recuperate.

One night, kept awake by an inflamed wisdom tooth, she wandered the streets in tears and unexpectedly ran into Xiao Yao grabbing a late-night snack.

Jiao Zhen cried even harder. Why was she so unlucky?!

Xiao Yao was stunned. "That trick doesn't work on me. You don't still like me, do you?"

Jiao Zhen: ???

3.

Once Jiao Zhen had fully recovered and was ready to carpool to work, she spotted a luxury car on An River Bridge.

She stared at the car, lost in thought. Do rich people carpool now?

Then the window rolled down, revealing Xiao Yao's face, more dazzling than the car itself.

Oh wow, what were the odds of carpooling with her nemesis?

"Correction: this isn't carpooling. It's a private car."

"Have you started doing good deeds?"

Xiao Yao turned to look at her, his gaze tender. "Yeah. Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll end up alone forever."

== Now writing: Someone Special ==

[The blurb is from the male lead's perspective; the story is from the female lead's perspective. Love at first sight and a secret crush.]

[A scheming mastermind who plans every step x a sweet girl who makes a wonderful wife]

Xu Yuanshen has always thought Tian Yi was a special person to him.

The reason she's special is that he's secretly in love with her, and she's his friend Guan Mingzhang's girlfriend.

So he carefully hides his feelings, only sneaking a few glances at her during gatherings.

Later, when he hears that Tian Yi and Guan Mingzhang plan to marry after she graduates, Xu Yuanshen locks himself in his room and drinks all night, deciding to give up.

But the day before the graduation ceremony, Guan Mingzhang dumps Tian Yi.

The next day, Xu Yuanshen buys her favorite flowers and appears at her doorstep.

Tian Yi: ?

His handsome face wears a gentle smile. "Happy graduation."

And so the story begins.

A little scene:

1.

Guan Mingzhang begs her to take him back, then glares at Xu Yuanshen. "What kind of woman couldn't you find? How could you steal my girl?"

"Correction: I knew her before you did. If I hadn't made my move so late, you wouldn't have had a chance," Xu Yuanshen says with a cold sneer, looking down at him. "Oh, and we're getting married soon. It doesn't matter if you come, but remember to bring a wedding gift."

Ex-boyfriend: Damn, that's infuriating, but I can't argue with him!

2.

Once, the two of them had an argument.

Tian Yi blushed. "You've only liked me for a few days. What gives you the right to..."

"Three years." Xu Yuanshen interrupts her with a soft laugh, his eyes twinkling like stars. "I loved you before you even knew who I was."

Three years ago, Xu Yuanshen met a volunteer at the Qizhi Care Home. The girl had a radiant smile and a shallow dimple in her left cheek. It took just one glance for him to fall for her.

Three years later, after going to great lengths, he finally made that smile his alone.

This world is full of pain and disasters. I want to be your wish-granting god and protect you, bringing you a lifetime of peace and happiness.
