Falling Deeper

A lively, sweet romance about winning back an ex.

Sharp-tongued, soft-hearted, aloof beauty (bottom) VS scheming, clingy, powerful guy (top)

Zhong Lin has been a little troubled lately. His ex-boyfriend has suddenly become the big boss at their company.

Standing in the middle of a battlefield, Zhong Lin keeps his head down and imagines he's a thousand-year-old tree, unafraid of the scorching sun or raging storms.

But Yan Zhengming plays dirty, immediately making a pass at him: "Zhong Lin, let's start over. I forgive you."

Zhong Lin: "Get lost!!!"

Yan Zhengming has been a little troubled lately too. Zhong Lin no longer falls for his old tricks, so he's forced to bring out his full arsenal of tactics.

A clingy guy has a thousand tricks up his sleeve, but every one of them is sincere.

No one can resist affection they can see and love expressed clearly.

Besides, Zhong Lin has always been soft-hearted.

Then one day at last,

Yan Zhengming shares a photo in their friends' group chat to celebrate.

Yan Zhengming: "Guys, you can start getting the wedding gift money ready!"

Jiang Lian: "That's faster than a cow riding a rocket."

Yan Zhengming: "No, no, our Boss Zhong is the one who came through this time."

Zhou Yijin: "Oh my god, Zhong Lin is so cool! Congratulations!"

Zou Huasheng: "You're disturbing me."

Yan Zhengming: "Sorry for disturbing this dog with our public display of affection."

Zou Huasheng: "Yan Zhengming, I'll break your legs!"

Yan Zhengming: "That's a classic case of jealousy. You need treatment."

Zou Huasheng: "I'll treat your ass!"

Zhou Yijin: "Where's Zhong Lin?"

There are only five people in the group, and Zhong Lin is the only one who hasn't said anything.

Yan Zhengming: "He's asleep on top of me."

Jiang Lian: "..."

Zhou Yijin: "..."

Zou Huasheng: "@Jiang Lian @Xiao Jin He's so smug. What do we do? I really want to beat him up right now! Anyone want to join?"

Yan Zhengming: "Come on over. Rain or shine, I'll be waiting for you at Xihua Tianxi."

Jiang Lian: "@Huazai Go on, kid."

Zhou Yijin: "Good luck!"

Zou Huasheng: "..."

Zhong Lin, I'm sorry I didn't understand your unspoken words and helplessness back then. Thank you for giving me a chance and waiting for me to grow up, and for putting up with my bad temper. I don't believe in reincarnation, and I don't hope for another life, so I'll love you with all my heart while I have this one. You never have to worry that I'll fall for someone else. I'll be yours alone, and I'll always risk everything for you. - Yan Zhengming
