Sweet Promise

[Upcoming novel: Folding the Moon. Please add it to your collection! Blurb at the bottom~]

On the first day Su Nuo transferred to Nancheng Middle School, rain poured down and thunder roared.

Sitting by the window, Su Nuo was pale as a sheet, her eyes misty with tears. Even the words she wrote came out crooked and shaky.

After class, her desk mate tapped on her desk, twirling a pen nonchalantly. His tone was languid.

"Switch seats."

Before Su Nuo could feel touched, his next words left her speechless.

"You're shaking like there's an earthquake."

Shen Yucheng excels at both academics and character, comes from a prominent family, and has a face so beautiful he seems perfect.

But back in his first year of high school, he declared that he would never date while young,

crushing the romantic daydreams of countless girls.

Later, one person turned him down twice.

Seven years later, Shen Yucheng is invited to his alma mater to sign autographs and make a donation. A group of playful elementary school students dirties his shirt.

As he tidies up in the restroom, he runs into Su Nuo, who has an upset stomach and can't stop throwing up, with tears and snot running down her face. She is a complete mess.

He leans against the sink, his dark eyes fixed on her, deep and restrained. His arms are crossed over his chest, and before he knows it, his hands have clenched so tightly that his knuckles turn blue.

Once she has recovered, Shen Yucheng speaks coldly, his tone dangerous.

"Are you pregnant?"

Su Nuo's head is spinning, and her vision is going black. She doesn't hear him clearly and thinks he said, "Is it bad?" She answers hoarsely,

"Whose is it?"

Su Nuo shivers and slowly looks over...

Folding the Moon

There is a group of notorious hooligans in the small town.

They skip class and get into fights, earning themselves a terrible reputation.

The ringleader, Chi Zhuo, has been held back two grades and is now Sang Yue's classmate.

One day after school, the boy leans against a dim alleyway and blocks Sang Yue's path.

"Little sickie, hand over your homework."

Sang Yue is terrified, but she clasps her hands behind her back to protect her schoolbag and shakes her head.

His hand, wrapped in a bloodstained bandage, is about to reach for her, but suddenly stops.

Chi Zhuo, his brows and eyes full of defiance, scoffs in annoyance.

"You're useless."

Sang Yue's eyes fill with tears, and she can't hold back another couple of pitiful whimpers.

On the day the high school entrance exam results come out, Chi Zhuo clutches his results to his chest,

chasing the black car that is taking Sang Yue away through the pouring rain,

only able to watch helplessly as it disappears at the end of the road.

Nine years later, at the engagement party of Sang Chen, the eldest daughter of the Sang family,

the famously mysterious investment banking big shot Chi Zhuo shows up uninvited.

He is as tall and handsome as the rumors say, with a proud, cold demeanor.

His overwhelming presence spreads through the enormous reception hall, leaving it utterly silent.

Surrounded by countless camera flashes, Chi Zhuo walks straight to Sang Yue, who is shrinking into a corner.

He bends down, closing in on the pale little face that once toyed with him and made him so furious he couldn't sleep at night.

"Sang Yue, go on, run away again."

Not long afterward, the Sang Group falls into difficulty.

Sang Yue's parents "send" her to Chi Zhuo's office.

Once the door is locked, she sits on the man's lap,

crying as she kisses every place he directs her to,

without receiving the slightest hint of tenderness.
