My other novel, Ulaanbaatar, is now underway. Feel free to visit my profile and add it to your collection. Taxi driver x anti-drug police officer, updated daily. Note from August 17, 2024.
Blurb:
In his senior year of high school, Lin Chaoyang transferred to Qingcheng No. 1 High School and was paired with Li Yingda in a study group. Li Yingda was determined to get into Fudan University's journalism program.
Lin Chaoyang excelled at science, while Li Yingda was good at the humanities. They agreed to apply to universities in Shanghai together after graduation.
If only they hadn't broken up.
*
Years later, Lin Chaoyang had become a renowned fern botanist. At a public symposium, a reporter asked him, "With so many SCI papers published, and on the cover of Nature before turning thirty, you've gained a million fans just on your looks alone. Professor Lin, is there anything you still regret?"
The man furrowed his brow with tenderness and replied in a gentle voice, "Not really. It's just that when I go to bed at night, I always feel like I'm missing someone to say good night to."
The audience burst into laughter. Someone else asked, "The same person's name appears in the acknowledgments of every paper. Is that the person you want to say good night to?"
The man lowered the microphone and stared into the audience. Camera flashes burst all around, but amid all that brilliance, he could see only the man named Li Yingda.

"Look how boldly love grows, like all things gone wild."

Botanist x news anchor
Rekindled romance, happy ending, dual interwoven narratives
Blurb for the new novel:
To prepare for the provincial theater's new production of White Snake, Chen Yu, its leading actor, decides to immerse himself in life in Yunshen, an ancient town in western Yunnan famous for snake-catching.
Hoping to fit in with the locals and observe snakes more closely, including the way they move, he follows a friend's recommendation and lodges with a local farmer's wife.
Chen Yu, who considers himself a true devotee of the theater, has never believed anyone could understand snakes better than he does.
That is, until he meets the farmer's son, who passes his window every day. Like the little white snake around his neck, the man is both seductive and captivating.
*
Xu Wei has spent his whole life working the land, diligent and hardworking. Yunshen is the paradise he would defend with his life.
But one day, he finds himself longing for the world beyond.
Everything beyond the mountains, every place where Chen Yu might be.
But Chen Yu is so pure, so holy, as if he came from another world.
Xu Wei wants to sully him, to drag him down from his pedestal.
To share in the pleasures of the mortal world.

Alluring, flirtatious theater actor x rugged, reserved village official
Mature romance, slow burn, happy ending
Theme: Ordinary people should also strive to live with hope and determination.
Is it because Lin Chaoyang misses Li Yingda that he keeps buying his own watches? Did Li Yingda feel insecure because he had been apart for so many years?
Your boss has taken a liking to her. By the way, Li Yingda has a good sense!
This is the feeling between some mature people: they only have each other in their hearts, and they will meet again when they are ready.
Sorry, the name Yingda makes me think of Guo Da5555.
I particularly like this sentence because of love
"I came to this planet because of love." The boy's eyes sparkled with tears, and his eyes were full of affection. "Because on this beautiful planet, there are one thousand, four hundred and forty sunsets every twenty-four hours."
Finally, I wish Lin Chaoyang and Li Yingda peace and happiness and getting better and better.
I think their progress bar is so fast that I can't keep up. You said you started contacting each other after meeting each other, and all your classmates knew who Li came to Shanghai for, so why didn't you contact him after he came back? Maybe there is a reason? But when we meet again and we get back together, then the reason for the separation in the first place doesn't seem so important anymore? So why didn't Li contact me when he came back? Why come back if you don't contact me? Are you sure you won't break up and get together again if you don't figure out what happened before? Lin felt for a while that there must be many people around Li who were like him but not him, and for a while he felt an indelible love and knew that he was talking about him? ? ? These two people feel like they both know that they still have each other in their hearts, but if you don't tell me, I won't tell you either? There are a lot of detailed descriptions. I thought the author would point them out directly and write them out to explain something, but there is no chance that there will be more details later, but I'll leave them alone, although I still have my eye on the pre-receipt T^T
The setting of the grandfather and grandson is a bit like the father and daughter who touched a Chinese character in the past. The father was paralyzed from a high position and the daughter took good care of her.
Jiande is a very good place, suitable for retirement.
This transition is amazing! ! ! !
No wonder Li Yingda not only wasn't angry, but also seemed relieved after his previous "price increase" was rejected by Lin Chaoyang. He was testing whether Lin Chaoyang had changed.
