The Craze

[See Weibo @Mu La Lele for the physical edition's progress]

From teenagers to grown adults

Childhood friends / mutual pining / reunion after years apart / he pursues her later

Age 18, a night without power.

Li Tang is in Jiang Ting's room, playing with his phone until it shuts down by itself.

The room suddenly falls quiet, as if only the two of them remain.

Cicadas call incessantly in the summer night. Sweat sticks to their skin as waves of heat roll in, too much to bear. The adults' casual conversation drifts in from beyond the half-closed door. Li Tang edges closer and asks Jiang Ting, "What's kissing like?"

In the dark, she can't see Jiang Ting's face. She only feels him pause, then reach out and hold the back of her neck. His breath brushes over her. "Want to find out?"

The secret shared by the two teenagers is hidden in a sweltering summer.

When no one is watching, desire surges.

Later, Li Tang leaves without a word.

When she shows up again, Jiang Ting tells her this is the last time he'll see her.

"Li Tang, don't play games with me. I can't handle it."

Years later, the two, who haven't been in touch, meet again at a friend's wedding.

After the wedding, Jiang Ting drives Li Tang home.

In a hazy, drunken stupor, Li Tang dodges his kiss and asks with a light laugh, "Can you handle it now?"

Blunt, straightforward girl x proud, tsundere boy

Both virgins / happy ending

On a rainy night with the power out, Sang Zhi accidentally mistakes her boyfriend's roommate for her boyfriend.

When her boyfriend returns, he asks curiously about the bite mark next to the roommate's Adam's apple.

Bo Xu's lashes twitch. He glances coolly at Sang Zhi, who looks a little guilty beside him. "A cat scratched me."

.

Not long after, in a spring downpour, Sang Zhi breaks up with her boyfriend, her heart and body drenched by the rain.

As she stands there, unable to move, someone holds an umbrella over her.

The rain and mist blur Bo Xu's refined, cool features. His eyelids lowered halfway, he asks the girl soaked beneath the umbrella in a low voice, "Will you come with me?"

The three days Sang Zhi spends with Bo Xu, day and night, are a secret.

Afterward, she never sees him again.

Until years later, on a similar spring day, Sang Zhi meets a blind date.

Feeling awkward, she says, "Sorry, I didn't know it was you."

The man across from her, immaculate in his suit and calm in expression, gives a small nod. "It's fine. I knew it was you."

He falls for her first / marriage before love later
