Story Blurb

[Peacock-showing, first-rate performance artist vs. quiet, reserved, deadpan humor enthusiast who loves awkward situations]

Young Master Ning was born with the world at his feet. For over a decade, he'd lived carefree and without a worry, never taking anything to heart.

Ke Jian thought so too.

From the very first time they met, he tossed his cigarettes, skipped exams, and slept through class... He was careless and nonchalant, with not a shred of dependability about him.

Once, they ran into each other at the rooftop outdoor pool of a hotel. Young Master Ning folded his arms, lowered his peach-blossom eyes, and looked down at her at his leisure. He teased in a low voice, "What? You followed me all the way here?"

"..." Ke Jian silently turned and swam toward the other side.

His buddies couldn't take it anymore and mocked him. "Pfft, hahaha! We thought you were so charming. Look how disgusted she is."

"Bullshit. That's strategy: playing hard to get. Ever heard of it?"

"..." Ke Jian swam even faster.

-

Ke Jian thought that to Ning Hanke, she was just someone he'd met by chance, a passing stranger. If there was anything special between them, it was no more than a faint, uncertain feeling amid the turmoil of adolescence.

In the sea of time, the wind blew it all away.

But she never knew that on the day she left the country, Ning Hanke clutched a phone number that would never connect again, his eyes red as he stared desperately toward the other side of the airport boarding gate

He counted to a thousand, over and over, as daylight beyond the floor-to-ceiling windows faded into darkness.

#Since that day, a rotten bone grew inside me.

For 365 days a year, I fell ill 365 times.

I never recovered, yet I was content to suffer.#

Next Story: "Oolong Baileys"

[Free-spirited, tipsy little blogger vs. aloof, devastatingly handsome guy who overthinks everything]

While pursuing her master's degree, Bai Ling was overwhelmed by the pressure of getting her paper published. With graduation looming, her future looked bleak and uncertain.

So, faced with adjusting her schedule or working on her mindset, Bai Ling chose a third option: making cocktails at home.

By chance, she became a minor cocktail blogger.

With her absurd cocktail-making skills and downright outrageous results, Bai Ling carved out a bizarre niche in the polished, sophisticated world of cocktail bloggers.

Her comment section usually looked something like this

[Today she dares to smash ice. Tomorrow she'll dare to smash her fans.]

[I'm done. This girl doesn't even take ads. She's just taking revenge on society.]

[Big sis, I'm your dog. Woof woof.]

[The one above must be really desperate.]

Bai Ling swept up the cup she'd just smashed on the floor and sneered.

–

Through a series of coincidences, Young Master You Heng ended up sharing an apartment with a woman he barely knew.

She was pretty, sure, but she was shamelessly trying to seduce him.

She fussed over him, deliberately engineered chance meetings, and so on.

You Heng was determined to keep himself pure, so he left early and came home late, rejecting her completely without making a fuss.

But he couldn't resist her relentless enthusiasm, and she even wanted to give him a drink.

If she couldn't have his heart, was she trying to have his body?

That was never going to happen. He could at least be polite and avoid hurting her feelings too much.

You Heng lazily reached out and took the drink. He swallowed it, spat it out, and had an allergic reaction, so he demanded she take responsibility.

Bai Ling frowned. "I'm fine. You're so fragile."

You Heng: "?"

He'd put his heart and soul right in front of her. What was with that expression, like she was either disgusted or admiring herself from afar?

–

Later, Bai Ling thought that You Heng probably really did like her.

After all, he could drink the Oolong Baileys she'd just mixed without changing his expression, then cradle the bottle and smile.

That man, who was so full of himself, looked like a fool who'd just plucked a star from the sky.

#The heroine goes crazy writing her thesis, then takes up cocktail-making as a side gig to unwind#

#It helps her unwind, but the bystanders online get high blood pressure#

#Maybe not just high blood pressure, but dangerously high blood sugar too#
