[My next book, Love on the Air: a bittersweet story where a secret crush comes true] [Second chance romance / From campus to city life / Mostly urban romance] [Playboy in name, devoted in truth × cool, aloof girl]→ [Pilot × tour guide] * The first time she met Sheng Xun was during a typhoon. She was on the rooftop to get some peace and quiet. He was cornered by someone at the rooftop stairwell, who was confessing to him. On a summer evening, with a storm about to break, the young man’s features were striking and sharply defined. He regarded the girl in front of him with lazy eyes and politely turned her down. “Stop liking me. Go like someone else.” Only later did she learn that he was none other than the famous Sheng Xun. He had been at the top of the school’s most handsome boys list for years, and posts about him on the school forum stretched on for miles. They were worlds apart, the kind of people who could never have anything to do with each other. Back then, Sang Yu never imagined that one day he would love her to the very marrow of his bones. That summer after high school graduation, while everyone else was celebrating, he raced all the way to her house. His eyes were red as he looked at her, chin lifted, his expression still haughty. “Sang Yu, if you leave, don’t ever come back.” - They met again eight years later, on a street in a foreign country. She had changed her name and become a completely different person. By then, Sheng Xun was the youngest captain in the history of Xing'er Airlines, young and accomplished, aloof and unruly. Dressed in a crisp uniform, the man watched her with an unreadable expression. A young woman from his flight crew sensed something was up and asked whether he knew her. Sheng Xun turned his eyes away, his expression cool. “I don’t know her.” He never wanted to know Sang Yu again for as long as he lived. But one day not long afterward, someone received a phone call. The usually arrogant young captain sounded uncertain. “She seems to have a daughter.” “Do you think I should learn how to be a stepdad in advance?” “…” *The heroine doesn’t have a daughter. The hero has misunderstood! - After they get back together, Sang Yu is sorting through Sheng Xun’s old computer one day when she comes across an unreleased clip from an interview he gave two years earlier. He had just survived a major aviation accident. As captain, he had single-handedly led the more than three hundred people aboard to safety. He was a true hero. During the media interview that day, someone asked what had gone through his mind in that split second between life and death. At the question, the celebrity captain, who had kept his handsome face impassive throughout the interview, finally showed a flicker of emotion. He looked straight into the camera, yet seemed to be looking through it at someone else. “I was thinking, if I died, Sang Yu, would you never forget me for the rest of your life?” -In the years they were apart, Sheng Xun hated Sang Yu and resented her, but the one thing he never did was stop loving her. -Not for a single day. [The world misunderstood many things about him. The greatest misunderstanding was that he didn’t love her.] *Both leads are each other’s first and only love. *The heroine is called Sang Yu at first, then changes her name to Sheng Yuan. *The weather wasn’t what we expected., Eason Chan, “As the Years Go By” [Blurb archived on 2023.1.5] ▽ Upcoming Book 1: Love on the Air “Only when I’m alone do I dare to write your name.” / Mao Buyi, “Love, Ah” 1 When Chen Song was at his most rebellious, he started a band with some friends and slept on a basement floor in the middle of the night. As he drifted in and out of sleep, the owner of the bar where they performed sent someone over with hangover soup. It came in a delicate glass bowl, with a cute little note tucked underneath. The handwriting was graceful, and every time the message was the same, just four simple characters: “Shun Song Shi Yi.” Twice, Chen Song wasn’t quite asleep. He opened his eyes groggily and caught sight of a petite figure. He didn’t think much of it. People you meet by chance don’t need to be remembered. 2 Years later, his college roommate started working as a rented boyfriend. One day, Chen Song came back from a performance. A casual glance at his roommate’s computer revealed those same four characters. The young woman on the screen spoke gently. “My mother is rather traditional, so I hope you won’t wear anything too unconventional. Thank you.” A [Please, please] sticker followed. Chen Song raised his eyes slightly and tapped his long fingers on the desk, his tone calm. “I’ll go in your place.” 3 Liang Suiyi felt like she was dreaming. The person she had secretly loved for years had become her boyfriend under contract.
