[Coming in July]
1.
Zhou Ken first saw Li Ni during military training. It was early September, and the summer heat still hadn't let up. Wearing camouflage uniforms, he and a friend were smoking in the shade beneath a tree.
Li Ni came over with iced cola and popsicles to visit someone, making such a spectacle that a crowd turned to look.
Zhou Ken noticed her, too. The guy she was trying to win over happened to be his roommate. He was so impatient with her that he threw everything away, preferring to get tap water for himself.
His friend sighed. "Why do beautiful girls always fall for the wrong guys?"
Zhou Ken lifted his eyes and glanced over again. Li Ni was crouched on the ground, picking up a popsicle that had been crushed underfoot. Even as she bent her long legs, they remained slender. A mandala flower tattoo on her fair ankle glowed an eye-catching red in the blazing sun.

At Ling University, Zhou Ken was an undeniable big shot. He came from a wealthy family, was strikingly handsome, and lived as he pleased. His girlfriends came and went one after another, and no one had ever heard of him truly falling for anyone.
Li Ni first saw him during military training. The second time was outside the men's dormitory.
She watched as the carefully simmered pork rib soup she'd brought was poured down the drain. Before she could even get angry, Zhou Ken appeared from nowhere and took her by the wrist. His voice was casual. "Stop seeing him."
Through the wisps of rising smoke, Li Ni couldn't make out his expression. She frowned without letting it show.
"Can't stand the smell of smoke?" Zhou Ken lowered his cigarette and casually stubbed it out against a nearby trash can. "Date me. I can quit."

No one at school believed the two of them would last. Everyone speculated on the forum about when the young master Zhou would get bored and turn the art department's campus belle into yet another ex-girlfriend.
When Li Ni came across the post, the two of them had just finished. Zhou Ken had quit smoking, and now he was in that post-sex lull, feeling hollow and restless.
She kicked him and teased, "When are you planning to dump me?"
Zhou Ken took hold of her foot, his eyes dark and his voice hoarse from exertion. "Between you and cigarettes, I have to hold on to at least one of you."
An outline-style blurb: A playboy "steals" the woman someone else loves.
* Both leads have no prior sexual experience; the heroine isn't a pushover.
* Cool, beautiful girl x roguish young master
