The Wind Keeps Blowing

[The second brother’s story, Stranded Mermaid, is now available] Beautiful heiress vs. bad-boy racing driver /// Childhood friends / secret crush / divorce first, love later 1. From a very young age, Sheng Xifeng knew she would marry Jiang Kai someday. As they grew up together, she hated him, secretly liked him, and even once thought they might fall in love with each other. But in the end, she stopped hoping. On her twentieth birthday, she followed her family’s arrangements and married him. After two years of keeping out of each other’s way, Sheng Xifeng suddenly couldn’t stand this tedious, lukewarm marriage any longer. Jiang Kai had hated Sheng Xifeng since childhood. He hated her princess complex, hated how she always got him in trouble, and hated how she repeatedly ruined his plans and drove away the women around him. What he hated most was that she had become the biggest shackle on his free-spirited life. So when Sheng Xifeng asked him for a divorce, he agreed without hesitation. Sheng Xifeng asked for nothing from him except his pet dog. He was hardly ever home, and the dog was more attached to her anyway. Jiang Kai asked for nothing from her either, except for the consummation of their marriage. One day after the divorce, they ran into each other at a club, each with their own friends. Both couldn’t help thinking, “What rotten luck.” After a few rounds of drinks, Jiang Kai got up, turned left outside, and pushed open the door to the next private room. “I should at least have visitation rights, right? Let me borrow the dog for a while.” #I’m too embarrassed to call you out, but you don’t like the dog. You’re after its owner, you shameless jerk!# 2. When she was sixteen, Sheng Xifeng secretly went abroad to watch a Formula racing event. Her body was in the stands, but her soul raced along the track, feeling the centrifugal force that nearly flung her off, the wind roaring loud enough to split her eardrums, the scorched smell of tires scraping the asphalt, and the adrenaline surging so high it nearly shut down her brain. Every second was a mad competition pushing past the limits. No matter how many years passed, whenever she thought of youth, youthful spirit, or dreams, she would remember that day in Istanbul and the reckless young racing driver. That year, Jiang Kai was not yet nineteen. Crowned with victory and brimming with confidence, he was the center of attention. He made his way through the crowd of admirers to the only people there to support him. “Princess Sheng deserves at least half the credit for this championship trophy. When in Rome, and all that. I wanted to give my great benefactor a hug.” With a smile on his lips, he handed her the trophy, then feigned regret. “Too bad I’m drenched in sweat. Princess Sheng would probably find me gross.” -The meaning of “the wind keeps blowing” is: I still like you very much. *A story about an arranged-marriage couple who discover how good they had it after getting divorced.
