Little Sunshine

Most people think Xie Yang's sister-in-law is shy and timid. Xie Yang thinks so too.

Until one day, outside a bubble tea shop, he sees with his own eyes the soft-spoken little sister-in-law smearing sweet potato all over someone's face, looking as fierce as can be.

Blurb One:

One day, Li Jiashu confronts the little shadow always following him around.

"I heard you're following me because you want my money. Is that true?"

Yu Xiao immediately denies it. "They're making things up."

"Then why are you following me?" He gives her a knowing smile. "Don't tell me you want me instead?"

"..."

Years later, when they meet again, he pulls her into his arms and pleads softly.

"While you're after my money, could you also be after me?"

Blurb Two:

Li Jiashu doesn't believe in gods or Buddha, yet for some reason he goes to a temple that day.

Watching him pray with such devotion, like a born believer, Yu Xiao can't help but tease him.

"Praying to conquer the universe?"

Li Jiashu replies, "Something harder."

"Then don't make things difficult for the Bodhisattva."

"And what if I insist on making things difficult?"

He raises his head, his gaze passing beyond the golden boundary and through the firelight before meeting hers.

"When it comes to marrying you, I insist on making things difficult."

1. That night, an outdoor screening played Flipped. On the screen, a girl boldly pursued a boy and confessed her feelings.

For some reason, Zhou Nian turned to Jiang Chi and asked, "Doesn't she look like Song Jiayue?"

He didn't say whether she did or didn't. He only said, "I don't like girls like that."

Zhou Nian turned back to the movie, watching intently as though his answer didn't matter.

Jiang Chi had nothing to do, so he forced himself to watch too. Just as he was starting to get absorbed in it, he heard her ask in a calm voice:

"Then what kind of girl do you like?"

Jiang Chi's gaze faltered. He turned his head, but she was still looking at the screen.

"Jiang Chi, do you believe in love at first sight?"

Years later, whenever Jiang Chi thought back to that moment, he would smile faintly at himself without showing it.

He thought that perhaps no one else in the world could make the word "devotion" look so natural.

2. Sometimes, Lu Kai would ask Jiang Chi why he kept finding excuses to get close to Zhou Nian. He would answer casually, "To scare her mom."

Later, when Lu Kai asked again, he changed his answer and asked in return, "Why do you think a guy would keep going to see the same girl over and over?"

3. The day Zhou Nian received the call, heavy snow blanketed the city.

"He's not doing well. Could you come back and help him?"

The next day, Zhou Nian boarded a train back to Mei City.

She found Jiang Chi in a corner of a bar.

At the time, he was like a fish stranded in a drying riverbed, lifeless, despondent, on the verge of death, waiting to die under the blazing sun.

Every now and then, he stirred the muddy water, making one last struggle.

When Jiang Chi saw her, he said only one word.

"Bad luck."

That day, she followed him all the way to his front door.

At last, he could take no more. "What the hell do you want? Wasn't ruining me enough? Do you want to watch me die?"

Zhou Nian carefully took his left hand and gently traced the scar on his wrist with her finger.

"Jiang Chi, I've come to save you."
