Unforgettable Touch

I’m hosting a giveaway for free merch on my Weibo. Join in if you’re interested!! [Check out my other novels set in the same Hong Kong-inspired world: The Square Inch of Daylight and Renting Out the Rest of Life!] Two difficult, career-obsessed men had their own ambitions and struggles when they were young. They didn’t know how to talk or how to love, so back then they argued, sulked, turned cold, and broke up. Neither looked back. After they separated, both quickly made a name for themselves in their respective fields. When subordinates or business partners mentioned “that rising star in the industry around your age,” they would just smile coolly and say, “Oh, him. I’ve heard of him.” Everyone thought they didn’t know each other. The closest they came was appearing on the same page of a wealth magazine. But nobody knew that in the brief gaps between their round-the-clock work, even if they slept only four hours a day, they closed their eyes and saw nothing but each other’s faces. After spending years busy on opposite ends of the earth, they unexpectedly ran into each other at a banquet. - Later, in a penthouse suite, Ran Buyue silently pushed open the door. As soon as it clicked shut behind them, they fell upon each other, greedy for one another, panting as they tumbled onto the bed. Afterward, Ran Buyue lounged lazily, undisguised mockery on his face. “What can’t President Shu get into bed with? Why go looking for an ex?” “You’re the best.” Shu Zhenshan slowly exhaled a cloud of smoke and asked, “What do you think?” Ran Buyue’s words were barbed. “You’re terrible in bed. You don’t even make the list.” Then he drawled, adding, “But you’ll do.” They agreed to meet once every two months and split the room fee. - By day, they traded veiled threats across the negotiating table and went head-to-head, barely deigning to look at each other. The industry was convinced they couldn’t stand one another. But no one knew that at night, they could practically shake the bed apart, and kiss each other’s sharp tongues swollen. - They used their physical chemistry as an excuse to conceal the deep love that had never faded and only grown stronger. But their mouths were harder than their cocks, and neither could say it. [Reader’s Guide and Content Warnings] 1. Happy ending, one-on-one, always each other’s only one in body and heart. The appeal is that they’ve both stayed faithful. But they’ll each claim to have plenty of experience. 2. Exes become friends with benefits. Shu is the top, Ran the bottom. No switching, no changing roles. 3. The hardest material in the world is their mouths, followed by diamonds. 4. The top has skin hunger, but he won’t admit it. Yep, stubborn as a mule. 5. The workplace and technology details may not be true to life. The setting is semi-fictional. 6. The story is mainly set in the present, with occasional flashbacks. There won’t be any full chapters set in the past. If you want to read the whole backstory, you can wait until the novel is complete! 7. I’ll add more warnings if I think of any.
