The Heat of Rumors

Weibo: @Su Wan w

When Wen Shiwen was seventeen, she fell for someone. He had a cool, aloof air and a gentle appearance, and he always took care of her.

The only downside was that he was six years older.

Later, one day at university, her roommate told her a handsome man was waiting downstairs. His name was Yu Heqing.

Wen Shiwen ran downstairs and saw the face she had been longing for.

She put on an air of indifference. "What do you want?"

The man adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses. "Professor Wen asked me to bring you something."

Wen Shiwen took the bag, disappointed. Still unwilling to give up, she asked, "Didn't you come because you wanted to see me?"

Yu Heqing's expression remained calm. "I've been busy with work."

-

Yu Heqing was famous in the lab as an untouchable beauty.

He was handsome, but quiet, and always acted strictly professional.

His students all agreed he was destined to be alone forever.

Until one day, they saw a young woman hug Professor Yu from behind.

Not only was Professor Yu not annoyed, he pulled her into his arms and softly coaxed her.

-

Wen Shiwen was always dropping by the lab.

One day, she got dramatic and hugged Yu Heqing, murmuring, "Yu Heqing, do you even like me that much?"

Yu Heqing sighed helplessly. "Why won't you take one more step forward?"

Wen Shiwen asked, "What are you talking about?"

The office door was locked. In the dim room, the two of them hid in the shadows. The man slowly took off his glasses, his voice low and deep:

"Waiting for the door to close so I can kiss you."

She pursues him; six-year age gap, with him being older

Upcoming Story

My next story will be Plum Rain Season. Please add it to your favorites!

Secret crush, from campus to city life

Bad-boy heartthrob x sensitive girl

Yu Yuhe first met Song Chi at a bus stop during the plum rains.

The boy stood beneath an umbrella, slender and slight, his expression calm, alone in the rain.

Through the steady curtain of rain, he glanced back in her direction.

Yu Yuhe looked away, but she could hear the rain pattering against the umbrella.

Song Chi stood beside her, tilting the umbrella toward her. "Take it."

Before she could answer, he pressed the handle into her hand, still warm from his palm.

She looked up in a daze, just in time to see Song Chi dash into the rain in his hoodie.

The rain came down hard that day, but it still set her heart alight.

-

Everyone thought Yu Yuhe and Song Chi were from different worlds. In their eyes, the two barely even interacted.

At a class reunion after they met again, someone suddenly asked her, "Yuhe, it's been so many years. Have you dated anyone?"

Yu Yuhe paused, then smiled. "I don't plan to."

The next second, the private room door opened, and a tall figure appeared outside in the dim light.

The following evening, Yu Yuhe was held firmly against the door.

She was forced to lean back against the man.

Song Chi buried his face in the crook of her neck, his voice husky. "You don't plan to? Then am I your lover?"
