Ignite a Moon

1. Xu Chun grew up abroad with her parents. Before she returned to China, her father asked an old friend he had known for many years to look after her.

Free from her parents' supervision, she had no intention of ending up in the hands of some old-fashioned friend. She dodged the airport pickup arranged by her father's friend and ran off.

That night, she went out partying at a bar. A handsome, tall man with impeccable bearing watched her the whole time. His gaze made her heart flutter, but he never came over to hit on her. Xu Chun curled her lips into a smile and made the first move.

Who could have guessed that this man was her dad's “old” friend, and that he had come to haul her back?

Xu Chun was taken home, but she didn't want to be “looked after.” She deliberately made a fuss and caused trouble, hoping he'd send her away. But her father's old friend simply watched in silence, showing no impatience at all. He even seemed completely indifferent.

With no other choice, Xu Chun changed tactics and set out to “turn the family hierarchy upside down” by pursuing Uncle Pei.

The trick worked. Pei Yingzhou showed that he was uncomfortable with it, so Xu Chun kept at it and tried even harder to “pursue” him.

But gradually, Pei Yingzhou seemed to have developed immunity to her tactics.

Until one day, a friend asked, “Is he your older brother?”

Xu Chun said, “Calling him that is just a joke. I've always thought of him as an uncle.”

This time, Pei Yingzhou's face darkened on the spot.

Xu Chun: ?

What was with him? Something was off!

2. Pei Yingzhou had been cool and self-controlled for years. His friends all said he was as passionless as a pool of still water. Then he hauled a young woman back from a bar. Like a little animal darting here and there, she disrupted his life and stirred that still water.

He never would have imagined that one day he would lose control enough to pin a young woman behind a door just one wall away from a noisy banquet hall.

She tried to avoid him, but he pressed closer with every step.

She blinked, looking utterly innocent. “Uncle Pei, you're acting strange again.”

His burning gaze traced her lips, adding an unspeakable desire to his voice as he tempted her: “Isn't this exactly how you like me?”

A heart dancing in the dark is called the moon. You are the one who set this silent moon ablaze.

“The more abstinent he seems, the more I look forward to seeing him lose his composure.”
