Breakpoint

Nan Ying and He Junchi had been apart for three years. When they met again, it was at an outdoor basketball court.

At the time, Nan Ying was cleaning up her cousin's mess.

He Junchi sat on a bench in the bleachers next door, reprimanding someone.

One of his buddies whistled in admiration. “Those legs are incredible.”

He Junchi glanced over, then got to his feet the next second.

When Nan Ying tried to leave, He Junchi blocked her. Her expression didn't change at all. Without warning, she kicked him.

Silence fell.

Just as his buddies started to think the girl was done for, He Junchi glared at her darkly and suddenly asked two questions.

First: “Feel better?”

Second: “Would you mind giving me another one on the left?”

A breakup isn't the end. I'm the end.

Upcoming novel Stars Don't Lose Sleep:

When Gu Xing was sixteen, she was brought back from her adoptive family in the United States. After a long journey, she returned to her homeland and met a man.

At the welcome banquet, people mingled and glasses clinked. Gu Xing sat quietly alone in a corner with her head bowed. When she looked up, she caught sight of a man.

He stood at the center of attention, tall and slender in a white shirt and black trousers, his refined, striking looks drawing everyone's eyes as he chatted with the elders.

Unlike the others, he wore an inconspicuous hearing aid on his right ear.

Glamorous women nearby spoke in hushed voices: “The Lu family's second son, Lu Yuwen. He did his graduate studies at the Repin Academy of Fine Arts in St. Petersburg. He only recently came back to China, to take over for his father, who's in the hospital.”

A friend put an arm around Lu Yuwen and said something in his ear. The man raised his eyes and glanced toward her.

A moment later, Lu Yuwen set down his glass and walked over to her in the corner. He bent down slightly and held out his hand, a faint smile in his bright, flirtatious eyes. His voice was warm and captivating.

“Gu Xing? Hello.”

From then on, he was all Gu Xing could see.

When you're in love with someone, you always have a reckless courage in your heart. Even knowing he only saw her as a child from a family he was close to, she still lost herself in his tenderness.

She thought she could melt the moon high above her, but in the end, she understood that the moon would always be the moon. It simply wasn't hers.

She had only been dreaming.

So Gu Xing forced herself to cut off her feelings and leave for another country. Even when she nearly ended up on the streets, surviving on cold, stale bread, she gritted her teeth and refused to give up.

Later, Gu Xing's university arranged a summer exchange with a renowned university in China. At a dinner with their academic advisors, she unexpectedly ran into him again.

By then, he was a high-profile investor in the project, his gaze cool and distant. That irresistible face of his was still devastatingly handsome.

Gu Xing remained composed.

After dinner, slightly tipsy, Gu Xing got up to leave with her senior classmates. When she came out of the restroom, she saw the man waiting dejectedly in the hallway.

She tried to leave, but he reached out to stop her. The corners of his dark, upturned eyes were red as he smiled. “It's been six years. You finally decided to come back?”

The little girl who had once shone like a bold, radiant sun had become embedded in his bones over the years, torn out only with blood and pain.

My friend Shiguang Tangguo's new novel, A Marriage Planned in Advance:

All of Shi Anran's friends envied her for having a rich, handsome boyfriend. Only Shi Anran knew that Su Jie seemed more like Qin Xu's real girlfriend than she did.

When she went shopping with Qin Xu, Su Jie would invite herself along, turning their sweet date into a group outing for three;

When they watched movies, Su Jie always seemed to know in advance, turning their two seats into a row of three;

Even on her birthday, Qin Xu was absent because Su Jie was moving;

Shi Anran put up with it time and again because she was a “well-bred young lady” who was expected to be gracious.

Su Jie was just a clown. As long as Qin Xu loved her, that was all that mattered.

But when she decided to get engaged to Qin Xu, Shi Anran discovered that Qin Xu's heart was big enough for more than one woman. He didn't just like her, he was also in love with someone else.

And that someone was none other than Su Jie.

What well-bred young lady? What poise and gentleness? What rich, handsome boyfriend?

This young lady is done putting up with it! She dumped the jerk that very night.

Her friends sneered and called her impulsive for throwing away such a great boyfriend;

Her family tried to reason with her, telling her not to be foolish and that she'd surely regret it;

Su Jie held her former boyfriend's hand and strutted around in front of her, timidly saying, “I'm sorry.”

Shi Anran gave them all the same answer: “I'll find someone even more handsome, richer, and taller tomorrow!”

Everyone thought she was joking. No one expected her to be holding hands with a new boyfriend the very next day.

Just as she was enjoying her sweet new romance, Qin Xu came crawling back and begging for another chance. Before Shi Anran could speak, someone pulled her behind him. “Buddy, are your eyes bad? You're trying to steal my woman right in front of me?”

Everyone said Pei Qingyu was a womanizer, a wealthy young master from a powerful family, and a man no one should mess with. Qin Xu had warned her more than once: “Anran, he's just playing around with you.”

Shi Anran didn't care. If it was just a fling, she could handle it!

Pei Qingyu always won his bets. Nobody could beat him at his own game, but this time, he chose to lose.
