A Kiss

[Blurb]

There was once a man who caught Meng Jianyao's eye three times in the cold rain.

The wind scattered the white smoke, blurring her vision until she couldn't make out his expression.

All she could do was remember his voice, his words, his name, and the promise they both knew was almost impossible to keep, through the silver lighter he'd given her.

"Mr. He."

"If I ever see you again..."

"I'll ask for your WeChat."

"All right."

Neither of them could have guessed that fate would be so kind to her, or to him.

By chance, Meng Jianyao met the man again through work: lazy, arrogant, carefree, and radiating an air of indifference toward everyone.

Neither of them could have guessed that a man like him would be a maritime search-and-rescue pilot, doing such passionate, selfless work and taking the danger upon himself.

Neither of them could have guessed that one day Meng Jianyao would find He Lianzhao outside her own front door.

She warned him, "Captain He, stalking is illegal."

The man gave her a knowing smile and pointed to the apartment across the hall.

"I live here."

-

Much later, a reporter asked her in an interview:

"Why did you choose this photograph as the centerpiece of your exhibition?"

Meng Jianyao thought for a moment and said, "Because my husband has an innocent heart."

Her beloved is a hero, a warrior, her strongest support, and the remedy she cannot live without.

He is unstoppable and never afraid.

She is ambitious, her passion spreading like wildfire.

So, through countless days and nights, she will say to him:

"He Lianzhao."

"I want you to kiss me."

-

"Love is unstoppable, spreading like wildfire."

Here's the blurb for the upcoming story:

Jiangzhou Saki met a strange man.

That day, the rain in Tokyo was as cold as a knife, and she shivered outside a convenience store.

A man with mop-like hair leaned against a streetlight, holding an umbrella but not using it.

In the rain, figures flickered amid the traffic, while the man's sharp, aloof expression was touched with a hint of weariness.

"Hello, could I borrow your umbrella?"

The man with mop-like hair turned his head slightly, seeming to notice the little cake in her hand. He smiled lazily. "Trade your cake for my umbrella. Deal?"

Jiangzhou Saki never expected that this umbrella man would become the biggest nuisance in her life.

They met for the second time at Teitan High School.

A curse attacked her, nearly killing her on the spot, but the umbrella man dropped from the sky and crushed it underfoot.

"It's you, Mr. Umbrella!"

He smiled lazily, his tone casual. "Well, if it isn't Miss Cake!"

-

Her cursed technique awakened, the System bound itself to her, and it all happened without warning.

Even more unexpected was the ultimate goal of her mission

"Win the strongest sorcerer's heart?" Jiangzhou Saki wanted to refuse.

The System's voice was cold: "If you don't, you'll die."

"Winning the heart of such a hot guy sounds pretty great, actually!" Jiangzhou Saki reluctantly agreed, wanting to stay alive. "In other words, I get to spend time with a handsome guy!"

-

Jiangzhou Saki never imagined that the loom of fate had long been turning, or that her cursed technique had already unfolded, tying their lives together.

Across countless pasts, presents, and futures, she saw those clear, crystalline blue eyes.

As she fell, rose, and suffered grievous injuries time and again, she heard her beloved's whisper.

"Saki, no matter how many times it takes, your teacher believes you can do it."

Crimson slashes tore through countless dimensions and barriers. High above Shibuya, beneath a sky drenched in blood, only her domain remained.

Her voice was calm and cold as she declared the end of the war.

"Let's welcome the new world."

Time flowed, eras crossed, and dimensions overlapped.

And I will cross countless pasts, presents, and futures to reach you.

His eyes stretch across the sky, and she can always find her way to him through the darkness.
