More Than Summer

That summer, Xia Yu heard the childhood friend she'd secretly loved for years mention another girl. He said she was sunny and outgoing, loved sports, and looked especially attractive when surfing.

Surfing? Attractive? She could learn to do it too.

So she threw herself into life in Haicheng, swallowing plenty of seawater and taking plenty of falls… only to unexpectedly “hook” the legendary surfing prodigy.

Xu Baiyan was the most difficult person Xia Yu met in Haicheng. He was aloof and cold, carefree and sharp-tongued… but, unfortunately, a surfing expert.

She thought all they would ever have was a “pure” teacher-student relationship. She never expected them to develop a connection that was “not quite so pure.”

The sea breeze drifted softly that night when Xia Yu ran into her childhood friend, who had come to Haicheng to surf with a friend.

His friend cried out teasingly, “I knew she liked you! She even followed you all the way here!”

Xia Yu clutched the hem of her shirt, mortification leaving her nowhere to hide.

Then someone slipped an arm around her shoulders from behind, speaking in a lazy drawl. “Who likes whom? Aren't you chasing me?”

Synopsis:

Ji Shuyi met her ideal man at the lowest point in her life.

He was gentle and handsome, and he played the piano beautifully.

When they kissed, his ears turned bright red with embarrassment.

But six months into their relationship, she couldn't reach him at all.

Then her supervisor sent her to a meeting at a client company. While distracted, she saw the client company's boss walk in, and realized he was her missing boyfriend…

But could someone tell her why he seemed like a completely different person and didn't remember her at all?

Ji Shuyi was certain her boyfriend was named Xia Yan.

She was just as certain that Sheng Tingshen, a ruthless and decisive force at work, wasn't her boyfriend, but another personality living in Xia Yan's body.

She hated Sheng Tingshen and feared him, carefully avoiding the times he was awake so she could date Xia Yan.

“Sheng Tingshen was terrifying in this morning's meeting. He chewed out almost everyone on the project team.”

Xia Yan felt sorry for her and held her in his arms. “Did he yell at you too?”

“Of course! I hate working under him. He's cold and impossible to talk to.”

Ji Shuyi complained while blushing and kissing Xia Yan, but as they kissed, the person above her suddenly stopped breathing for a moment and went completely still.

She looked up in confusion, only to find that Xia Yan's usually gentle eyes had turned strikingly cold…

Sheng Tingshen never expected to wake up during “Xia Yan's time,” much less to find the subordinate who had nervously presented a report to him that morning lying in his arms, her clothes in disarray.

She looked terrified, though the corners of her eyes were still flushed. “…M-Mr. Sheng?”

Sheng Tingshen was so hot all over he felt ready to explode. He wanted to strangle her.
