Upcoming story: Saving My Childhood Friend, Only to Get Courted Instead. Please add it to your collection! Blurb below.

Wen Yu runs into her former crush at a blind date. When they meet again, he is still the center of everyone’s attention, but his personality has changed completely.

At seventeen, Wen Yu was sweet and reserved. The wildest thing she ever did in her youth was fall for Yu Yang, the most untamed and carefree person in the entire school.

On the day Yu Yang transferred overseas, she finally worked up the courage to chase after him.

“I... I like you.”

Yu Yang froze for a moment, then parted his lips. “I’m sorry.”

Those two simple words brought her entire youthful crush to an end.

Seven years later, Wen Yu runs into Yu Yang again at a blind date arranged by her mother. Having learned her lesson, she doesn’t dare get close to him and deliberately keeps her distance.

She thinks Yu Yang will do what he did before: firmly cut ties with her, and perhaps not even remember her.

But to her surprise, this time he is the one who approaches her.

“Wen Yu, can I pursue you?”

Blurb:

Three days before her engagement, Shen Shuwei is dumped by her scumbag boyfriend.

She spent seven years of her youth with him, letting him wear down her edges, and ended up losing everything.

Before she can even vent about what happened to her, she receives news that leaves her utterly devastated.

Her childhood friend, Lu Yinghuai, has taken his own life at home after suffering from severe depression.

All Lu Yinghuai left behind are a suicide note addressed to her and a voice recorder.

She clutches the recorder and listens all night. It is the first time she has ever gotten drunk, and the first time she learns of the love he had hidden away for over a decade.

After getting completely drunk, she wakes up and unexpectedly finds herself back at sixteen, seven years before Lu Yinghuai’s suicide.

This time, she will not only stay away from scumbags and pave a broad road toward a better future for herself,

but, more importantly, she will save him!

Lu Yinghuai notices that his childhood friend has been awfully clingy lately.

She transfers into his class and sits beside him, brings him hot water herself, and follows him to and from school.

She even... stares at him for a long time every day.

Lu Yinghuai finally can’t take it anymore. “Is there something on my face?”

Shen Shuwei stares right at him. “You’re kind of handsome.”

Lu Yinghuai turns away. “...”

Shen Shuwei reaches out and turns his face back toward her. “Hey, I haven’t had enough of looking yet.”
