Little Plum Blossom

Xue Li is an ordinary girl with black-rimmed glasses and a bob haircut, her thin frame hidden beneath her school uniform. She's not particularly clever, either. Even getting into a prestigious university was pure luck. But the moment she steps onto campus, Xue Li becomes the center of everyone's attention. Nanyang University's two most popular guys are her own brother, Xue Yan, and Chen Xize, the childhood friend and neighbor who is always arguing with her. Xue Li: ? What's going on with this world? From then on, every girl's love letter on campus ends up in Xue Li's hands. Ten of them are for her brother, and the other 990 are for Chen Xize. "..." At a bubble tea shop, Xue Li sees the belle of the literature department confessing to Chen Xize. The young man sits casually on a tall stool, lowering his head to bite down on a cigarette. He looks languid and aloof, yet irresistibly alluring... "Sorry. I already have someone in my heart." The belle presses him for an answer. "Who is she?" Xue Li buys her bubble tea and tries to slip away unnoticed, but her awful childhood friend grabs her and pulls her over. He hooks one arm around her neck from behind, as if he were about to choke her to death. "Let me introduce you. This is my childhood friend. I've been hopelessly in love with her for years, and I'm pursuing her now." Xue Li assumes Chen Xize is using her as a shield, but one day he really does confess to her. In the classroom, as the handsome young man draws closer, she asks in a trembling voice, "Are you crazy?" Chen Xize gazes at her lips, reluctant to look away, and lifts the corners of his mouth. "Yes." Crazy with wanting you. Jaded, laid-back girl vs. mischievous childhood friend next door P.S. The double-campus-heartthrob setup comes from my January 5, 2019 novel "Nocturne," where both the brother and the male lead are university heartthrobs. -- Next up: "Our Love" -- Lu Anchun wears a beautiful long dress and an exquisite headband, celebrating her eighteenth birthday beneath the stars in the villa garden. Like the moon surrounded by stars, she smiles politely, but her gaze keeps drifting toward the entrance, as if she's waiting for someone. In a narrow, pitch-black alley, Wei Feng faces five or six punks across from him. He fiercely wipes the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes wild as a beast as a cold, vicious smile spreads across his face... "Today's a special day. I'm not getting blood on my fists." He swings onto his motorcycle with one hand, clutching the nearly ruined box of cake protectively with the other, and races into the endless night. Wei Feng and Lu Anchun are worlds apart. Top student and outsider. Lu Anchun comes from a wealthy family with a strict father, while Wei Feng has fought his way through a rough, complicated world. One is as pure as the first snow; the other is always covered in fresh wounds layered over old ones. No one would ever connect the two of them. Until, on her birthday, Lu Anchun sneaks out of the banquet hall behind everyone's back. Beside a moss-covered broken wall, she and Wei Feng kiss as if the world around them has disappeared.
