Please pre-save my upcoming novel, Heart-Pounding Game.
Outdoor livestream queen Shi Yu loses a bet with her fans. According to the terms, she has to go to the private gardens of Yun Lian, the most luxurious mansion in City A, put on a cat-ear maid outfit, and sing and dance to "Learn to Meow."
Shi Yu can't believe this and tries to wriggle out of it. "They check your assets at the gate of Yun Lian. You need 20 million. How could I possibly get in? Forget it."
Rich fan: "I live there. I can tell the guards to let you in. Don't worry, Taro, go for it! Taro fans will always support you!"
Shi Yu: "..." I can't thank you enough!
With no other choice, Shi Yu enters Yun Lian, the kind of luxury mansion where socialites dream of checking in.
She finds a secluded spot in the woods, planning to finish the stream as fast as possible and then sign off.
"Let's learn to meow together, meow, meow, meow, meow."
"I'll act all cute in front of you, meow, meow, meow, meow."
Shi Yu has just started singing, waving her cat paw and swishing her tail, when she catches sight of a handsome man in a sharp suit.
As luck would have it, it's Shen Sui, the guy she confessed to in high school and got rejected by.
Back then, Shi Yu used to imagine how they'd meet again: You'd be as dashing as ever, while I'd be living well.
Now, Shi Yu just wants to haul a plane across the Pacific overnight.
Shi Yu grabs her tripod to run, thinking: If you have any sense, you'll pretend we don't know each other. Don't push your luck!
But Shen Sui really has no sense at all. He calls Shi Yu by her full name.
Shi Yu: !!!
*
In high school, Shi Yu was just an ordinary girl, pretty as a fairy and scoring a little over 500 on placement exams.
Later, she went and confessed to Shen Sui, the top student and campus heartthrob.
Standing on the high steps outside the library, Shen Sui says coolly, "If you score 650 on the college entrance exam, I'll think about it again."
For love, Shi Yu studies by lamplight every night, and finally gets this score on the college entrance exam:
646.
And so, her adolescent crush comes to a heartbreaking end in the exam hall.
Heartbroken and frustrated, Shi Yu immediately blocks Shen Sui and deletes his number, all in one go.
Two months later, Shi Yu thinks: Wait, I actually feel a lot better?!
Who didn't have a crush on someone in middle or high school? The past is the past. Let it go.

Coming next: Heart-Pounding Game
"What's a girl? I can't be bothered with them."
Qiao Ai watches a beautiful senior girl confess to a younger student and get rejected.
The notorious troublemaker known as the campus heartthrob of No. 1 High leans one arm on the windowsill. His sinister eyes seem to smile, and his tone is downright nasty.
After that, no girl dares confess to Chen Zhi.
Later, Qiao Ai passes the big banyan tree beside the sports field and hears girls crying.
They say they're Chen Zhi's fan club, and his attitude toward girls has left them heartbroken.
Listening to them cry behind the tree, Qiao Ai thinks: If they cry from night till morning and morning till night, are they going to cry Chen Zhi to death?
From that day on, Qiao Ai watches Chen Zhi for two whole months.
One day after school, some thugs from another school corner Qiao Ai in an alley. Chen Zhi is standing at the far end, with no intention of coming to her rescue.
Qiao Ai walks up to him. "Chen, let's make a bet."
Chen Zhi looks at her with dark eyes. "What are we betting on?"
Qiao Ai smiles sweetly. "That you'll fall for me."
Chen Zhi scoffs, unconvinced.
-
Qiao Ai proposes that she and Chen Zhi confess their feelings to each other once a week.
They both have to wear heart-rate monitors while confessing.
Whoever's heart rate goes over 110 first loses.
If Qiao Ai loses, she'll do Chen Zhi's homework for three years. If Chen Zhi loses, he'll have to apologize to all the girls at the Monday flag-raising ceremony.
Chen Zhi agrees to the bet, thinking it'll be a piece of cake.
-
Qiao Ai has a secret no one knows.
She has hypoglycemia, and if she skips breakfast and lunch, her heart rate becomes extremely slow.
So slow that before a gastroscopy, doctors have to give her an injection to stimulate her heart.
[She only proposed the bet because she knew she was sure to win.]
Brave, clever little sweetheart x sinister, crafty fake underachiever
