I'll Win Gold for You [Snowboarding]

*Blurb:

Tong Xiaoman has been frail since childhood. She was never very active and absolutely hated sports. She never imagined that one day she would be saddled with the daunting task of winning gold in snowboarding at the Winter Olympics.

It all started one day when she wanted to skip her math olympiad class, so she went to Beishan Ski Resort with her older sister, Tong Xiaoxue, a snowboarding powerhouse. After getting lost at the resort, Tong Xiaoman met Xiao Yue, a boy in black who snowboarded. It was love at first sight, and it changed her life forever.

Because of Xiao Yue, Tong Xiaoman fell in love with snowboarding. That was also the beginning of her difficult training career and a life full of twists and turns.

Tong Xiaoman: This is all your fault!

Xiao Yue: ?

Xiao Yue looked at the girl with her back to him, momentarily speechless. "Get up. I'll dry your hair." He picked out a glaring white streak from among her black hair, his long, thick lashes hiding the countless thoughts churning in his eyes.

"Why are you being so considerate today? Where was this kindness when you pushed me off the halfpipe back then?" Tong Xiaoman tossed her phone aside and curled up completely like a turtle, hiding her face under the covers.

Running his fingers over her hair, Xiao Yue remained composed. "All these years, who has traveled the world with you for competitions and helped you rack up points? Who was the first to stay by your side when you got hurt? Who went home in your place for New Year's? And who packed your suitcase? ..."

Tong Xiaoman sprang out of bed like a carp and hurriedly covered Xiao Yue's mouth. "Stop, stop, stop. It was you, you, and you."

Title: Found Years Later After Having a Child Without the Father

*

Blurb:

1

At 22, just before graduating from college, Xi Tong discovered she was pregnant.

After having her first serious discussion about children with her long-distance boyfriend of many years, Yu Sixie, the independent Xi Tong decided on her own to have the baby and leave the father out of it.

Keeping the secret, Xi Tong broke up with him without warning.

Then she remembered what a fortune-teller had told her at the beginning of the year.

"Miss, if you break up with your current boyfriend, you'll be rich and successful, and everything you wish for will come true. You'll have the luck of a koi fish!"

At the time, she had scoffed. Meeting Yu Sixie might have been the greatest stroke of luck in her life.

Not only was he strikingly handsome, he also came from a prestigious family. At just 22, he had already completed his graduate studies overseas and returned to take over the family business.

But the fortune-teller's words really did come true.

Before she even had time to mourn the breakup, Xi Tong was suddenly informed that her deceased, gambling-addicted parents had left her a huge fortune, far more than she could ever spend.

After having a child without the father, Xi Tong's life took off. Her only worry was that Yu Sixie might find out about the child.

This traditional, old-fashioned, cold and domineering man would definitely try to take the child from her... and then kill her in bed, without caring whether she wanted it.

At 29, Yu Sixie had become so powerful and untouchable that no one dared cross him. His only concern was that he still couldn't let go of his ex.

Why had Xi Tong broken up with him?

Was he not handsome enough, not rich enough, or unable to give her emotional support and companionship? Or had he wanted too much, and things hadn't worked out in bed? Now that he thought about it, she really had sounded "miserable."

After a long time thinking it over, Yu Sixie leaned toward the third option. In his early twenties, he really had been busy.

But no matter how much he regretted it, life didn't offer a do-over.

Still, maybe he was going crazy, because he couldn't shake the feeling that a popular kid on a social media app looked like a combination of him and Xi Tong.

"Mom!"

One day, at a five-star hotel in their hometown, the internet-famous kid ran up to his first love, whom he had been out of touch with for seven years, and asked to be picked up.

Yu Sixie laughed in anger. "Xi Tong, you really did a number on me."

No one knew how relieved he was beneath his fury: he had been given another chance.

On the rumpled sheets.

"Do you regret that we broke up because you insisted on having a child?" she asked, her voice hoarse.

"No." His fingers traced her beautiful curves.

"Even if it's a despicable thing to say, that child is the bond that means you'll never forget me."
