Obsession

[An early completed novel. It's not very well written, so please make sure you like it before buying. Please add my upcoming novels, I Met You in Spring and Sketches, to your reading list~ Sending hugs, thank you all (now with a negative COVID test)]

On the first day Xie Huaize moved into the Jiang household, he obediently called the dazzling, outspoken girl "Big Sister."

It all started with one "Big Sister," and she was drawn to the boy.

When he was sad, she took him to an amusement park to cheer him up. She attended parent-teacher meetings as his big sister. When he was sick, she looked after him so devotedly she grew thinner and thinner... Back then, Xie Huaize could have asked for the moon, and she would have found a way to get it for him.

Someone once asked her why she treated Xie Huaize so specially.

Jiang Huaixu replied nonchalantly, "Life is hard enough. You have to find some fun somewhere. He's much more interesting than those games and alcohol."

At an age when she was just looking for fun, she didn't understand love. She took care of him, but once the boy grew up, she disappeared from his life for good.

Years later, when they met again, Jiang Huaixu was drawn to him once more. But her slight fear of romance made her instinctively keep her distance.

At last, the man could no longer take her retreating from him yet again. The person who had always been so obedient in front of her finally showed his possessiveness.

His low voice was patient, but beneath it lay years of longing and madness that he couldn't put into words. "Big Sister, stop teasing me."

The moment his lips covered hers, Jiang Huaixu thought unwillingly: So which one of us has been teasing the other?

At first: #I don't want to be teased either, but he called me Big Sister!#

In the end: #So the one who's been the prey all along is actually the best at teasing?#

-

Xie Huaize had a secret he'd kept for a long time. It was only when they met again that he realized there was no turning back from loving her.

No matter how many times he started over, no matter how often he retreated, the road's destination would still be her.

We always think time passes slowly, but our tastes are hard to change.

[Dazzling, unattainable older sister x Patient, devoted younger man]

From the male character's unrequited-love perspective.

Inspired by the song "A Habit"

"I can't forget, the habit of missing you."

A sweet, low-key romance / not entirely true to real life

Written early in my career. Feedback welcome.

Blurb for I Met You in Spring

-

Meng Yu posted a cover of a song on a short-video app. Months later, when she logged in again, she discovered she'd suddenly become popular, so she eagerly continued sharing her covers.

At the request of her fans, she sang rap for the first time. But before long, she got dissed in the original singer's livestream.

On the replay, the man casually said, "I've lost my voice."

After listening to two lines, he added, "Is this a recitation?"

For some reason, his comments were interpreted by antis as him dissing that cover, and the comment section filled with people joining in to insult her.

Meng Yu: ...

She could live with letting the hate comments pile up for now. But that night, torrential rain and a twisted ankle while moving left her belongings scattered everywhere.

A man happened to walk by and help her pick them up. She was about to thank him.

Under the umbrella, Meng Yu met his deep, dark eyes, and the words died on her lips.

Her first thought was: Sure, my singing was kind of bad, but was it really bad enough that the original singer had to come give me a private lesson in person?

At that moment, she finally realized just how bad her luck had gotten.

Wen Yan,

A rapper who came up through the underground scene, currently one of the hottest names in the game, and an original musician. He's a force to be reckoned with.

Everyone knows about his awards and his rising fame, but no one knows that the boy's dream began on a drizzly night, with a 9.9-yuan money transfer and a few words of encouragement.

A message signed by a girl became his support for years.

His fans were pleased that their idol always stayed focused on his music. That is, until one day they noticed that a song marked as produced by Wen Yan had a watermark, and a clear, sweet female voice slipped into the opening.

Romanticism got the better of Wen Yan, and he engraved her voice into his personal logo.

The onlookers were left baffled: Why does that voice sound so familiar?

Later, Meng Yu's identity was revealed, and the algorithm recommended a topic: #What's the thing you regret most so far?#

That same day, Wen Yan reposted it from his main account and replied: #I got accused of dissing my wife from the start#

Onlookers: Confirmed.

[A salty-sweet, carefree content creator x an arrogant, world-weary rapper]

The diss was a misunderstanding. The male lead's words were maliciously misconstrued, and he also told the comment section not to be so hostile.

Probably a short, sweet story.

Sketches

[An absurdly funny woman who wants to flee the planet after a mortifying social blunder x a cool but gentle male college student]

Q: Can a funny girl find love?

A: Yes.

Cen Yuan found a student ID in the library. The guy in the photo was handsome, with sharp features, and his name sounded as good as he looked. Needless to say, she fell head over heels.

After finally adding him on WeChat through the campus anonymous message board, Cen Yuan was about to chat with her crush when he messaged her first:

Jiang Shilin: Is that you in your profile picture?

Cen Yuan: You want to know what I look like? Wait. (Changing profile picture)

Jiang Shilin: ...

Cen Yuan (with a goofy face): That's really me. Don't like it?

Jiang Shilin fell silent, wondering how to explain that he just wanted to return her student ID.

-

Later, Cen Yuan followed him around for a month, in a half-defined relationship. She thought it was finally her turn for a sweet romance, but then she saw Jiang Shilin carrying books for a junior student and leaving the cafe with her, laughing and chatting.

Furious, she posted on her social media: Consider my heartfelt love wasted. I'm closing up shop. Even if love knocks, I'm not letting it in. My heart is locked away. (Dark version.)

Three minutes later, she received a text: I'm 187 cm, I've got abs. Can I come in?

Cen Yuan couldn't believe anyone could be more ridiculous than her, so she ignored him.

-

The whole campus lost power that night. She was lugging water back to her dorm from the supermarket when someone cornered her between the shelves.

The flashlight went out, and the moonlight lit up a dim silhouette.

Jiang Shilin fixed his gaze on her and said cryptically, "You fish for three days and dry the nets for two. You really are quite devoted."

Cen Yuan looked away.

The man sighed softly. His low voice fell by her ear, full of helpless affection. "So why did you stop now?"
