Ring the Bell

[The whole novel has been extensively revised and polished. The authorized version is only on Jinjiang ^^]

[Rekindled love / intense push and pull / melodrama]

Her best friend was getting married, and Jiang Wan went as a bridesmaid.

He Wen'Chao also came to the wedding. After all these years, he was still refined and handsome, with an extraordinary presence.

After the wedding, Jiang Wan went to the supermarket and saw He Wen'Chao there too.

She ignored him and walked away coldly. He had nothing to do with her anymore.

-

That evening, the bride and groom got a group of their high school friends together for dinner.

Amid the toasts and chatter, He Wen'Chao bumped into Jiang Wan's wrist.

Wine spilled over her white dress, leaving it filthy.

He Wen'Chao pulled her to her feet. "Let's go wash it off."

Jiang Wan had been thinking the same thing, but she hadn't expected that by "wash it off," he meant he would wash it for her...

In the restroom, old classmates' voices could be heard just outside the door. But within inches of her, He Wen'Chao covered her mouth and held her against the sink, his body burning hot.

"Weren't you pretending not to know me this afternoon?" He took out what he'd bought at the supermarket, his voice cool and mocking. "I was planning to use this on you."

-A sweet little story about two adults rekindling their love

-The male lead has only ever loved the female lead; the female lead dated someone else in the interim

-Their intimate encounters during the school years take place after they are adults, at least eighteen

Please read the content warnings:

Neither lead is perfect. They insult and attack each other all the time.

The female lead once liked the second male lead, and at first pursued the male lead out of spite toward him. After she and the male lead broke up, she dated other people.

The male lead has a sharp tongue and is extremely jealous. When they argue, he'll say anything.

This is a self-indulgent melodrama for fans of melodrama. Personal attacks on the author based on gender are prohibited.

If any of these are dealbreakers for you, please steer clear (

Theme: Kindness is the brightest color of love
