The Princess and the Stray Dog

The summer Jiang Yao turned eighteen, she hurried off to her maternal grandmother's home in the countryside to enroll in school.

There, she ran into the somewhat unruly boy next door, astride a motorbike, his long legs slightly bent as he glanced her way, light and shadow playing across his features.

His name was Bo Jingfeng. He was fierce, and a little pitiful, too.

Everyone said he was bad and mean, but Jiang Yao thought no one was better than Bo Jingfeng.

When she said something, his brows would clearly knit, yet he would still silently give her the very best of everything.

So bad, and so very much in love with her.

The year Bo Jingfeng turned eighteen, he met a girl in a pure white dress. She was as beautiful as a painting, quiet and well-behaved.

Yet she was especially fond of telling him what to do.

And he found he liked it.

The girl said, "Bo Jingfeng, why don't you study hard?"

That very night, he took out his books and stayed up all night working through problems.

The girl frowned. "Bo Jingfeng, why don't we stop smoking?"

He never touched a cigarette again.

The girl talked a lot and had plenty of demands. Somehow, little by little, she turned a foul-tempered boy into an upright, wholesome model student.

How did this happen? How did things turn out this way?

The girl said, "Bo Jingfeng, you're so good." Then she looked at him with tender, affectionate eyes, her amber irises filled with his reflection.

His heart couldn't help but stir.

Fine. If she wanted the stars, he'd pluck them down for her.

That's how much he loved her.

No major trigger warnings, both virgins, sweet romance.
