Passion on a Snowy Night

"Second chance romance" sexual tension, size difference

1

In high school, Chen Yichi was always the star of the basketball court. Every effortless-looking shot he made drew huge cheers from the sidelines.

The boy was bold and carefree, rebellious and unruly, never pausing for even a moment for the admiring gazes fixed on him.

There were many girls watching him from the sidelines. Pei Xue was just one of them.

Secretly loving someone has its bitter moments and its sweet ones. The most important thing is that Chen Yichi must never find out.

So when someone asked who she had a crush on, Pei Xue lied right in front of Chen Yichi:

"I think Lin Yuan is great."

Lin Yuan was a prodigy too, but in every way he fell just a little short of that other guy.

That night, Pei Xue was up studying until the early hours when she received a message from Chen Yichi, the one she hadn't named.

[Pei Xue.]

[What?]

[You're afraid people will think you're dating me, but you're not afraid they'll think you're dating Lin Yuan?]

No one would have expected the two to get together, but they started dating the summer after their junior year.

At the farewell party before Chen Yichi left to study abroad, Pei Xue happened to overhear another boy ask him:

"I've always wanted to know. How did you end up with Pei Xue?"

The guy everyone was talking about smiled drunkenly. "Oh, I just wanted to find out how she could have such terrible taste."

Lin Yuan had competed with him since childhood and lost to him at everything. This time was no exception.

That night, Pei Xue broke up with him. A few days later, Chen Yichi went to study in the United States.

After all their twists and turns, they returned to the most ordinary relationship they'd had at the start: classmates.

At a reunion a few years later, Pei Xue saw Chen Yichi again. She was now Lin Yuan's "girlfriend." He left everyone else behind, walked up to her, and said it had been a long time.

Pei Xue deliberately took Lin Yuan's hand in front of him.

In a cramped, enclosed room off the nightclub hallway,

Chen Yichi pinned her against the door, their breath mingling, their bodies still warm.

"Does he kiss you like this?"

Pei Xue was still catching her breath.

"If you won't tell me, should I go ask him right now?"

Pei Xue had thought they'd never see each other again after their chance encounter at the nightclub. Who knew that the second time they met, Chen Yichi would have become a powerful investor she couldn't afford to offend?

Since they couldn't avoid working together, why couldn't they take a step back and keep things civil... Why did Chen Yichi always have to back her into a corner?

When she backed away, it wasn't because she wanted him to chase her, or hold her and kiss her like a madman, begging her.

"Marry me..."

"Don't be with anyone else. I really can't take it..."

Reading notes:

1. Both leads have only ever been with each other.

2. First a school romance, then an urban romance. The school section is short. Neither lead is perfect, so stop reading if they're not to your taste.

3. The heroine and the second male lead pretend to be a couple to ward off pressure from their families to get married. They are not actually romantically involved.

4. Some chapter notes recommend songs. I personally think a song is perfect for reading that chapter, but please don't mention the novel in the song's comment section. Let's just listen quietly together~

5. Please don't imagine this is about real people, and don't mention real celebrity names in the comments. I'll delete those comments if I see them.

Upcoming: "Heat Warning"

①

School starts in August, but Qiao An went to the United States a month early to get used to life there before studying abroad.

Her parents are divorced. Qiao An lives with her mother back home, while her father works as a truck driver in the United States.

At her father's house, she saw Arthur again.

Her "brother," though they shared neither father nor mother.

Because of work, her father was away from home several days a week.

Her stepmother was busy with work and couldn't always take proper care of Qiao An.

So the responsibility of "looking after" Qiao An fell to Arthur.

At first, Qiao An and her "brother" Arthur were sworn enemies.

Every day, she thought about how to make him angry, annoyed, and uncomfortable.

At least, that's what Qiao An thought.

Later, Qiao An and her "brother" Arthur became inseparable.

Every day, he thought about how to make her happier, more content, and more comfortable.

At least, that's what Arthur tried his best to do.

②

One day after school started, Qiao An's roommate wanted to take her to a lively college party.

The roommate insisted that anyone who skipped tonight's party would regret it, because the campus heartthrob was rarely seen outside of tonight.

At the party, her roommate turned back excitedly again and again to ask Qiao An:

"Well? Wasn't it worth coming? That's Arthur!"

"I heard someone hid in the swimming pool all night last time just to watch them train."

"I heard Adeline's pursuing Arthur. She's the one throwing tonight's party. Since Arthur agreed to come, I guess the rumors are true!"

When Qiao An didn't respond, her roommate looked at her.

"Qiao An, why do you look so strange?"

Then a shadow fell over them. The man folded his arms and looked at Qiao An with a cold sneer.

"Who said she was studying and couldn't see me?"
