[Complete. Thank you to all the lovely readers who supported the official version!] [My other novel, Want a Kiss? Behave First, is now online!] Blurb: [Sex first, love later | Road-trip novel] Early the next morning, Lin Xihuai opened his eyes to find a strikingly handsome man lying beside him. The man had an arm around his waist, and they looked like the most intimate lovers in the world. In reality, they had only exchanged names in bed the night before. They say the road is full of romantic encounters. Lin Xihuai got to experience that firsthand, meeting the most “scandalous” man of all. [A gorgeous, gloomy, teasing beauty who is honest about his desires, the bottom VS a refined scoundrel who can turn the tables and tease right back, the “brute” top] (Here, “brute” means someone skilled at stirring up confusion and turmoil in another person’s heart.) [A note for readers] 1. First time for both | Road trip | Two men testing and teasing each other | Extreme possessiveness (no) | Mostly everyday life 2. The bottom has an ex-boyfriend; they’ve already broken up when the story begins. 3. No real-life inspirations. Please don’t bring real people into the discussion! 4. The title was inspired by the online hashtag #SpringtimeEscapePlan. 5. Primarily from the bottom’s perspective. Bottom: Lin Xihuai | Top: Qin Zhouyan 6.

Screenshot archived on August 11, 2022. Upcoming novel, Want a Kiss? Behave First: Mutual pining | Younger top | Face-slapping and falling in love | Reunion after years apart One drunken night, Meng Cixiao accidentally slept with the obnoxious man he hadn’t seen in five years, the one he had a terrible relationship with. When they woke up, the other man was swaggering and brazen. Looking down at Meng Cixiao, he said, “You should be grateful you got to sleep with me. Go home and burn some incense to thank your lucky stars.” Meng Cixiao’s whole body ached, and he was in a foul mood. He laughed coldly to himself, restrained his temper, and said lightly, “I mistook you for someone else last night.” - Meng Cixiao is a renowned professor at Q University, erudite and exceptional. Though blessed with a strikingly beautiful face, he is aloof and ruthless, keeping people at a distance and making them afraid to offend him. Cheng Weichao comes from a powerful family. He is willful, unrestrained, arrogant, and proud. He lives amid glittering extravagance, surrounded by nightlife and lavish excess. They are worlds apart, have a terrible relationship, and want nothing to do with each other ever again. Their friends never thought anything could come of the two of them. Until one day, a friend saw it with their own eyes: The famous Professor Meng got out of Cheng Weichao’s car and slammed the door hard, his lips far too red. Meanwhile, the haughty young master was hanging his head like a dog, trailing after him and desperately trying to take his hand. Then he begged, “Just one more kiss. Just one!” - Five years ago, Cheng Weichao had a sworn enemy. They’d been rivals since childhood, always loathing the sight of each other and hating each other deeply. But Meng Cixiao was very close to that enemy. Perhaps because he hated the enemy, Cheng Weichao couldn’t stand Meng Cixiao either. Especially when the two of them were close. Their combined ability to get on his nerves was more than the sum of its parts, and every day he grew more irritated. Only later did Cheng Weichao realize what that feeling was called: love. And that turmoil in his heart was jealousy burning out of control.
