Opposite Talk

My next serial, Indulge Me, is currently underway: rebellious girl x cool, aloof guy. The blurb is at the very bottom. It's a sweet romance, so please add it to your list~ 1 Qin Chuyao had secretly loved him for seven years. The only response she ever got was when Jiang Huai, drunk, told her, "A Yao, I love you." Those words made her secretly happy for a long time. She thought that good things came to those who waited, and that heaven had finally noticed the feelings she had kept hidden. She gathered her courage and confessed, only to be met with a long silence. Jiang Huai calmly lit a cigarette, a carefree, flippant smile on his face. "That 'I love you' didn't mean anything." 2 Jiang Huai's notes app was filled with her likes and dislikes, and he treasured the little charm she had given him. When someone found out, all he said was, "I'm not good enough for her." Whenever she appeared, she was always surrounded by admirers. Everything she did looked effortless, as though she could handle anything with ease. His own life, on the other hand, was lived in constant fear, like walking on thin ice. 3 He still remembered May 14, when the evening sky was awash in rosy light. She tied a colored cord around his wrist, her soft voice blending into the evening breeze. "You defend your country and bring it glory. Being with you has always been more than I deserve." Content warning: The male lead has had a brief relationship in the past. Next up: Indulge Me Blurb: 1 Seventeen-year-old Xu Xingchen was born into a family of opera performers, but she had no interest in that warbling stuff. She even thought men who played female roles were weak and sissy. Until one day, a man in a white opera costume suddenly appeared before her eyes. Xu Xingchen bit her straw and murmured, "Damn, how can there be a man this elegant in the world?" 2 She heard that rising opera star Pei Qichuan liked gentle types. Without a word, she covered up the tattoos on her arms and took out her dreadlocks. Then, filled with hope, she walked up to him and asked, "Brother Pei, would you consider dating me?" He adjusted his glasses with his pale fingers, a warm smile at the corners of his eyes. "I have to earn a living, you know. I don't have time for romance." 3 Just when she thought the man in front of her was penniless and prepared to win him over with money, he suddenly announced his retirement from the opera world and got into a luxury Bentley. From then on, he vanished from her life. 4 Years later, one day, she knelt in mourning at a cemetery when a black umbrella tilted over her head. The man stood tall, his voice low. "Big brother's made enough money now." Theme: Love and dreams, never failing to honor one's glory.
