Cherish Her

[An awkward modern romance. Don't waste your time reading this one~]

At a bar, Shi En caught a fleeting glimpse of a cool, aloof man and started having wicked thoughts about him.

After learning he liked soft, sweet types, Shi En cursed him for being so demanding, then spent day and night studying the sacred text How to Become the Ultimate Soft Girl.

And so the glamorous, forthright woman transformed into a marshmallow fairy. Her relentless advances nearly left him unable to cope.

Just as she thought he was head over heels, completely unable to resist her, and that she was about to close the net...

Shi En took a sip of red wine, pursed her red lips, and rose on tiptoe to approach the man. Her breath drifted softly around him as she coyly hinted, "Big brother, is there someone you've been trying your hardest to win over lately?"

The man's expression was cool and distant, with the faintest trace of a smile at the corner of his lips. He answered with perfect seriousness, "As a matter of fact, there is."

Shi En: Eagerly waiting.

"I've been trying to secure a deal with a cotton company lately. That old man is going to take some work."

Shi En: May there be no old men in heaven.

Fu Huaixing was famous for being restrained, aloof, and a skeptic when it came to love. Yet he always found himself completely caught up in every one of Shi En's little tricks, unable to figure out why.

His best friend and childhood sweetheart both told him she was only playing around, but Fu Huaixing didn't care. Instead, he poured all his love into her.

Later, their words came true. The moment he learned what Shi En was really like, Fu Huaixing disappeared for three days and three nights.

When he returned, he brought a sweater he'd knitted by hand and asked a friend to give it to Shi En.

The friend looked astonished and tentatively asked, "She used you like that, and you're not angry?"

"I am angry." Fu Huaixing's voice was clear and cool. He answered honestly.

"But she gets cold easily."

Not long afterward, he discovered that she'd blocked him on WeChat and on her phone, and that her house was already empty. For the first time in his life, Fu Huaixing wanted to tie that woman down and keep her from leaving.
