Don't Distract Me from Winning Gold

Less than a month into dating, Yu Chao got dumped by Shi Mian

"Yu Chao, I've realized that ever since we started dating, I get distracted really easily. Every time I dive, I can't help thinking about you, so I mess up my form and the coach keeps yelling at me. The coach even said this could become a serious problem if it keeps up."

Yu Chao looked at Shi Mian's serious expression and frowned. "Just say it plainly."

"You're getting in the way of me winning a gold medal."

At that, Yu Chao fell silent for a moment, then lowered his eyes to look at her. "If you're bored of me, just say so."

For the sake of Shi Mian's dream of winning gold, Yu Chao broke up with her.

Just as Yu Chao was convinced dating wouldn't affect her chances of winning gold, reality proved him wrong.

Yu Chao: ?

Shi Mian considered herself a rational person.

After getting together with Yu Chao, she realized that the two of them came from different worlds.

Yu Chao won a gold medal at his first Olympics at age nineteen. He was the quintessential chosen one, the type who had the heavens practically feeding him success.

As for diving, only a small part of Shi Mian's talent came naturally. Most of it came from diligence etched into her bones.

Unlike Yu Chao, who won championships with ease, every success she achieved was paid for with sweat and sheer effort.

So, in Shi Mian's mind, someone like Yu Chao would never take anything seriously.

Likewise, she wasn't foolish enough to choose love over her future.

Until the day Yu Chao's career took a turn. He vanished without a trace and she lost contact with him.

After searching everywhere without success, Shi Mian found Yu Chao sitting on the ground outside her dorm.

His back was hunched, and the dazzling presence he once had on the platform was gone.

After a brief silence, Yu Chao forced an ugly smile.

"Mianmian, hugging me shouldn't get in the way of you winning gold, right?"

Meeting Yu Chao's pleading gaze, Shi Mian's firmly held beliefs came crashing down.

Please add my upcoming story, Summer on Boju Island, to your collection

After Guan Shu lost her job in disgrace, she took four-year-old Guan Qiaoyi and slunk back to her hometown.

Her hometown, Boju Island, was an island in the southeast.

The facilities on the island were outdated, but the people were simple and kind.

Guan Shu had an elderly grandmother to care for and a young dependent to feed.

Just as she was worrying about how to make ends meet, her rich ex-boyfriend appeared.

The good news: her ex-boyfriend had amnesia.

The bad news: He still remembered her despite his amnesia, and thought the child was his.

Guan Shu tried desperately to clear up the misunderstanding.

Until the handsome, wealthy man handed her every bank card in his wallet and said seriously,

"Child support."

Guan Shu suddenly thought that some misunderstandings were rather lovely.

There was no need to clear them up.

After spending some time with Jin Muyan, Guan Shu realized he was a little different from before.

For instance, the spoiled young master who had never cooked before would now dash around in the blazing sun to find ingredients for her, just because she said she felt like eating something.

And the arrogant man who used to look down on everyone now treated her with gentleness and care.

At first, Guan Shu thought his personality had changed because of his amnesia.

Then, one afternoon, as Guan Shu lay on a lounge chair in the courtyard, admiring the sunset, she received a phone call.

After answering, she heard a voice that was both unfamiliar and familiar.

"Guan Shu? This is Jin Muyan."

"?"

Guan Shu jerked upright, though she was practically at death's door. She turned to look at the "Jin Muyan" still busy preparing dinner in the kitchen and froze.

Jin Yanbai first met Guan Shu at the Jin family residence.

It was a rainy day.

At the time, she was the girlfriend of his twin younger brother.
