Brave Doggies Aren't Afraid of Hardship

[Next novel: Let the Lamb Into the House, living under someone else's roof + unrequited love fulfilled. Blurb at the end.]

Blurb:

Chang Luoling spots a boy she likes in the library.

He's wearing a neat white shirt, his expression cool and distant, and even his hand holding a pen is long and beautiful.

Chang Luoling acts at once: she buys the handsome guy a bottle of water and asks for his contact information.

He doesn't take the water or give her his contact info.

Chang Luoling refuses to give up and asks all her friends about him.

She learns that the handsome guy is named Xie Yiming and was voted the campus heartthrob in the school's official account poll. He's genuinely good-looking, and genuinely hard to pursue.

He's been at school for over a year, and girls have pursued him one after another without a single success.

After hearing all this, her friend assumes Chang Luoling will back down.

Instead, Chang Luoling takes the contact info she just managed to get and immediately sends him a friend request.

Better to make the first move than to wait for a rabbit by a tree stump.

What our puppy wants, our puppy will get!

Xie Yiming has recently felt that his already restless life has gotten even noisier.

Whether he's in class or out of it, in the library or the cafeteria, he always sees a lively figure bouncing around.

At first, he finds her annoying. Later, he thinks... having someone annoy him isn't so bad.

Until one day, no one is there to bother him anymore.

Xie Yiming unexpectedly starts missing the noise of before.

The puppy who's been secretly watching him: Hehe! The plan worked!

Cheerful puppy x haughty cat, Chang Luoling x Xie Yiming

(They're not really animals...)

Sweet, sweet, sweet!

The puppy can't stand seeing anyone unhappy, so may you always be smiling!

My next novel is Let the Lamb Into the House, living under someone else's roof + unrequited love fulfilled. If you're interested, please add it to your reading list!

In their first year of high school, Tong Jinmo's mother takes a live-in housekeeping job, forcing Tong Jinmo to move into her employer's home with her.

The couple who own the house spend most of the year working abroad, leaving behind their son, a high school senior named Qi Ji.

Living under someone else's roof is hard.

And perhaps even harder is having a crush on someone you can never be with.

-

Qi Ji is tall and handsome, with short platinum-blond hair. He's as flamboyant as they come.

For other seniors, the final year of high school means studying day and night. For Qi Ji, it means karaoke, clubbing, and parties.

Oh, and probably teasing the shy new girl, too.

-

Another weekend, the living room is packed with Qi Ji's classmates, loud and lively.

Her mother has gone grocery shopping early, so Tong Jinmo has to take over her duties. She prepares a table full of drinks in the kitchen and carries them out two at a time.

Someone asks who she is. Tong Jinmo looks away, hesitating over whether to tell the truth, when Qi Ji takes one of the drinks and casually clinks his cup against hers.

"She's my little sister. Cute, right?" Qi Ji says, then presses her down onto the sofa and gets up on his own. "I'll carry the rest out. Otherwise, people will say I'm bullying you."

Tong Jinmo sits rigidly on the sofa. Her hand rests beside her thigh, touching the lingering warmth he left behind, and her heart pounds.

Message: Strive for what you want and don't be afraid of difficulties.
