The Warmth of Him

The day her company was acquired, Yun Caiyi was summoned to the new boss's office. She knocked and opened the door to find an unfamiliar man standing on the balcony, his back to her. He wore a black suit, and though his expression was unreadable, his presence was oppressive. His aloof, disdainful silhouette held a sharp chill that made him seem difficult to deal with. "Boss, you wanted to see me?" Yun Caiyi asked cautiously. The man turned around, the corners of his lips cool and faintly amused. "Yes. I've been looking for you for a long time." - Back in school, Xu Ming was sunny, handsome, kind, a good student, and popular. He was universally known as the warmest, brightest boy in the school. He just wasn't easy to pursue. Yun Caiyi didn't believe that. She made a bet with someone and soon flirted her way into Xu Ming's heart. Once he was hopelessly devoted to her, she only got more addicted to teasing him. Then, quite by chance, she discovered that Xu Ming's family was obscenely wealthy, in a way a girl from the slums like her couldn't even imagine. Yun Caiyi came to her senses. Toying with the true feelings of a rich young master was a good way to get herself killed. "Sorry. You're a warm person, but I prefer the cool type." After dropping that line, Yun Caiyi deleted all his contact information and ended things with him without looking back. - Later, the two got back together. The man had Yun Caiyi cornered in his office, her heart racing wildly. His voice was gentle and bewitching by her ear. "Would you like me to be even cooler?" He would never let her know how carefully he had maneuvered things back then to get her to pursue him first. Now he was using the same tricks again, revealing the man beneath his mild, gentle facade. *Scrappy girl from the slums x devoted tycoon heir *Mostly set in the city; school days appear only in memories *Male lead had a secret crush / long-planned romance / rekindled love *Both are pure; happy ending Seeking follows for "Borrow Me Your Heartbeat" That year, a sudden change left Lin Zhishuang without her parents, and the Xiao family took her in. On her first day at the Xiao house, a young man stood at the foot of the stairs. He was tall and straight, with refined features and an exceptionally handsome face. When he saw her, the corners of his eyes lifted slightly as he gave her a faint smile. It was like the sun breaking through after rain, bright and clear. Lin Zhishuang's heart skipped a beat despite herself. Her cheeks flushed as she lowered her head and said, "Hello, big brother." A soft but sharp, deeply intimidating scoff came from behind her. Lin Zhishuang turned around in a panic and saw another face exactly like his. But its owner had messy bangs and an unruly posture, with a wild, cutting edge to him. He was Xiao Jibai's twin younger brother, Xiao Jiyun. The two brothers were as different as heaven and earth. - During her years with the Xiao family, Lin Zhishuang gradually changed from a timid, insecure country girl into a bright, confident college student. But whenever she faced her older brother, her heart still raced out of control, and even her voice sounded unnatural. Xiao Jibai was like the bright moon atop a mountain. She wanted to get a little closer to him, but didn't dare cross the line even a fraction. He lingered in her heart, impossible to forget and impossible to touch. But his younger brother was different. No matter how arrogant and unruly Xiao Jiyun was, she could always grab him by the sleeve with ease. One "I don't feel well" was enough to make him listen. Whenever she ran into trouble, big or small, she went to him, and did so with... remarkable ease. That winter, in a fierce snowstorm, Lin Zhishuang was stranded on a remote mountain road. After much hesitation, she called her older brother. But the one who braved the blizzard to find her was his younger brother. Xiao Jiyun stood dressed in black amid the snow and ice, white snow covering his hair and lashes. The sharpness about him seemed to have softened, making him look more composed, and his bearing had become remarkably like Xiao Jibai's. The two were stranded at an inn. Flowers and wine bottles littered the floor, and the heady, intimate atmosphere on the bed was thick with desire. Firelight from the hearth illuminated the man's sharp profile. Xiao Jiyun pressed the girl into the far corner and crushed her with a scorching kiss. "Do you know who I am now?" Lin Zhishuang's glassy eyes were red and brimming with tears. She bit her lip and turned her gaze away from him. Fire surged in Xiao Jiyun's eyes. He gripped her chin and forced her to turn around, but the tears in her eyes undid him completely. His Adam's apple bobbed heavily. His voice was low and infatuated.
