[Synopsis]
By a twist of fate, Lin Tingning became a tutor to her senior's younger brother.
The boy had a handsome face and a pair of foxlike eyes that looked at people with affection. There was always a teasing smile playing around his lips.
When his answers on the test made her a little annoyed, the boy leaned over the desk and gently poked her at the corner of her lips, his eyes curving into a smile.
"Sis, I was wrong. Don't be mad."
-
If not for the tutoring arrangement, Lin Tingning probably would never have crossed paths with someone like Shen Zongye in her entire life.
He was dazzling and carefree, relaxed onstage as he sang love songs with a guitar in his arms. Below him was a sea of lights waving for him. It was as if he had been born to become the focus of every spotlight and gaze.
As they spent time together, Lin Tingning kept to her role, letting Shen Zongye call her "Teacher" and treating him as her student.
At the time, she never imagined that one day this title would become taboo between them.
Beneath a brilliant, fireworks-filled night sky, the boy kissed her again and again, his gaze and breathing out of control. He pressed close to her ear and panted, "Teacher, you haven't taught me what to do after kissing someone."
-
Their relationship, which had crossed the line, eventually ended when Lin Tingning came to her senses.
When they met again, he was the manager of a popular idol and the vice president of a rising entertainment company. They only exchanged brief greetings, and no one around them could tell what their relationship had once been.
But that time, Lin Tingning mistakenly thought he was being drawn into an arranged marriage, and couldn't help chasing after him to warn him.
In the car, dim light fell across Shen Zongye's profile, no longer youthful. His expression was cold, unlike the way he had been back then.
Lin Tingning felt a faint pang of bitterness. She said no more and turned to get out of the car.
At that very moment, Shen Zongye grabbed the hand she had reached for the door with.
"Teacher."
His thumb gently brushed her wrist, his tone softening as if he were back to the days when he used to sweet-talk her.
"If you don't want to see me marry someone else, then marry me."
*
Shen Zongye's views on love had always been clear.
"If you give it to him, you can't give it to anyone else. If you hold on to him, you can't let go."
*A yandere foxlike younger man x a rational, emotionally detached older woman
*Talent manager x journalist / school to city

[Synopsis]
This wasn't the first time Song Zhizhi had seen the person her older sister admired.
The boy was born exceptional, without the deliberate mischief of those around him. Simply leaning carelessly nearby in his school uniform, smiling casually with his head lowered, was enough to draw everyone's attention.
It was then that she realized she shouldn't get any closer to him.
A misunderstanding.
Rumors spread everywhere, making two people who normally had nothing to do with each other seem intimately involved.
Alone together, Song Zhizhi pressed her fingernails into her palm and forced herself to apologize softly. "I-I'm sorry."
"I'll, I'll clear things up as soon as I can."
Zhou Chiwang leaned against the wall, playing with a lighter in his hand before snapping it shut.
After a long pause, he tilted his head, his voice teasing.
"Girlfriend?"
Song Zhizhi instinctively lifted her eyes to meet the moonlight.
He studied her for a moment, then suddenly let out a quiet laugh, looked away, and asked in a casual tone,
"You agreed pretty quickly, didn't you?"
*
Song Zhizhi didn't think Zhou Chiwang had taken their relationship very seriously.
When the day came for it to end, she felt relieved too, and sincerely told him she was sorry for putting him through all this.
He lowered his head and waited for her to finish, turning the lighter around in his palm.
"Putting me through what?"
After a long pause, he asked.
Zhou Chiwang raised his head and looked at her. At last, he could no longer hold back his feelings, and they poured out all at once. "Song Zhizhi, do you even have a heart?"
-
Song Zhizhi had never known what kind of person Zhou Chiwang couldn't forget.
Finally, one day, she caught a glimpse of what he had felt as a boy.
On an old, yellowed photograph, she spotted her own youthful silhouette at once. Almost swallowed up by the endless crowd, she was the one person he had treasured.
*Older, devoted man x gentle, clear-eyed woman / secret crush from him
Theme: Love means choosing someone above all others
Finished reading! The plot before the reunion is a bit long for me, but the sourness written by the author is also delicious 🧋 The young couple after the reunion is really sweet, 99999, I like it
Jinjiang, why can you only write 1,000 words for your final review (even if you really finished writing 1,000 words, it would still be too many to be published and you would have to delete it, so I'm sorry to put the full version of the book review here) Written for "Preferred Night". Although it has been renamed, I still selfishly want to keep the previous name for once, and I apologize in advance if this offends me. I have been thinking about how to organize the language for a long time, and I guess I still have no structure when writing it, but I still want to say that Jiujiu has made considerable progress, including improvement in concept, plot arrangement, character creation, and description of emotional changes! Jiujiu's last book was "Bad Love Letter", written in 2022 and completed in 2022, and then came this book, "Preferred Night", published in 2025. I am a later reader. I read "She's quite wild" in 2022 and was quite amazed, so I read "Bad Love Letter" and "Strange Love Song". In fact, I also read other books, but these two are my favorites. In recent years, I still read these two over and over again if I can't find what I like. "She's quite wild" is a book that I feel I can only read once. It's the kind of book that will leave you with a deep memory when you're hit by some bitter feelings and don't want to go back and read it again. I think "Preferred Night" is the same, but it's different, because "Preferred Night" is more suitable for reading one place and going back to it again and again. "She's quite wild" feels like the focus is more on the portrayal of Nan Siruan, and other things are weak in comparison, but "Preferred Night" is not. This time I saw more vivid characterizations, more of a sense of randomness from life rather than a sense of destiny (I don't mean to say that a sense of destiny is bad), and I remembered more people. This time, in addition to remembering the male and female protagonists Shen Zongye and Lin Tingning, I also remembered Shao Yuan, Guan Luo, Jiang Lianyun, and the lively and cheerful Qin Yi (?). Although they are supporting characters, you can see the "humanity" in them in this book. People are always changing, because different moods lead to different choices; and different choices lead to different endings. Although this book sometimes has a little bit of Jiujiu-style humor (Jiujiu-style escape) in the characterization of the characters (for specific works, see "Like Is Mustard and Strawberry Flavor") (You) jumps out on the page, but overall, I see more thinking from the author - how to make a story look real? How to prevent characters from being labeled? How to make a story readable? How to make the character's emotions flow naturally? Maybe you can find the answer in this book. It's strange. I didn't actually analyze these when reading books before, and I didn't even study the concept, plot development, characterization, story structure, and narrative techniques in detail. But this time I feel that I have recovered the useful books I read in the past and some desire for expression. Thank you very much for wine and for insisting on what you say. Reading your words makes me feel that it is not in vain. It allows me to regain the pleasure of reading and reading and thinking. Is this the third reunion book? I personally think that the most important thing about this subject is to see the growth of the characters and the changes and changes in their thoughts. Maybe in the previous reunions between Xia Zhiyu and Chen Jiayu, Su Baizhou and Jiang Chenwan, you will see more delicate emotional changes, but in "Preferred Night", you can not only see this, but also Shen Zongye's growth. In fact, I feel that this is the most difficult thing to write. This extra chapter may be regarded as a supplement. You can see a more complete Shen Zong. You can see this relationship, see what Lin Tingning has brought to him, how it has changed in him, and see what past experiences have brought to him and what they have left behind. So when you look back and savor the past, you will suddenly realize - it turned out that he had this kind of thinking during this period, no wonder he would do such a thing. And he is not the only one worth savoring, this is what makes this article worth savoring. Lin Tingning, because of her personality, might feel that she is always bland compared to Shen Zong, and her growth and changes can easily be ignored. But Shen Zongye's appearance made her become more alive, she became more caring, and she actively wanted to make changes. (Actually, our kids understood this very well, and it was so easy to use this to prick Ji Ran's heart.) She, who was in high school in the last chapter of the extra chapter, could also see this very well. Hey, sometimes I think the wonderful thing about Lin Tingning is that Jiu brings out the fact that even though she is a sister, she actually has a weak sense of sisterhood, and she occasionally becomes a little passive after she grows up. Who knows how delicious this is... (Suddenly her true colors are revealed) Sometimes I wonder, maybe they really exist in the world? In the past few months, I had a brief glimpse into their lives through drinking and writing, and learned from their growth experiences how to love others and understand what love and preference are. It has been a pleasure meeting them over the past few months and I wish them all the best in their lives going forward. There may also be noise, like anger in the episode, but it is also a manifestation of love (crying). Hopefully more people will watch it in its entirety, I'll be praying for that. Looking forward to the next one! The night I prefer is to prefer every night from now on.
I wanted to review the previous chapter again, but I encountered a lock!
I rarely read if lines, but this time I cleverly used dreams to travel to another time and space, and it was not abrupt or strange at all. The regret is that there is no real hand to hold Ting Ning in high school, but the happiness is that they can be together and fall in love in the end. 😭 In the end, I was so reluctant to part with the drink. I waited for a long, long time before you came back to write. I hope the next time we meet doesn't take too long.
Finally waited for the update!! [Cat head][Cat head]
Yeah, I guessed it all wrong an hour ago [Shut up] It's so funny. After reading Zhou's words from God's perspective, it's still so funny. Ting Ning didn't even look at Zhou. Zhou was still asking: Who do you think Ting Ning will choose? [Glasses] If those news items were actually written, I feel like they would be criticized by public relations...[Glasses] But it was still too hurt for Zhou to say that, even if he didn't listen or listen to the bastard chanting sutra🙉 Xiaoye: Thank you everyone, I finally married my lover (ba la la la) [Panda Head]
