Borrowing the Moon [Rekindled Love]

Rekindled Romance | Mostly Urban | Exes Who Can't Let Go | Each Other's First Love

At eighteen, Song Xilou stepped into S University, the school of her dreams, pulling a cheap suitcase she'd just bought.

S University was renowned for its outstanding students, the cream of the crop.

And the best of them all was Ji Xu.

They should have had nothing to do with each other, but tempted by money, Song Xilou made the most presumptuous decision of her life.

"Hey," said a bashful Song Xilou, head bowed, fingers clutching the hem of her shirt so tightly her voice trembled.

"I like you. Will you go out with me?"

A long silence.

Just as she was about to die of embarrassment and flee into the ground, he finally spoke.

"Sure."

-

At twenty-five, Song Xilou had a steady job in S City and a tiny apartment of her own. Her life was busy, but secure.

Until she ran into Ji Xu.

When they met again, they were no longer lovers, but client and contractor.

At work, they were cool-headed and rational. But under the spell of an inexplicable attraction, they lost control and spent a chaotic night together.

"You still owe me a promise."

Ji Xu brushed aside Song Xilou's tousled bangs, his voice low and dark with post-coital intimacy.

"Marry me, and we'll call it even."

-

Everyone was surprised when Ji Xu and Song Xilou got back together.

His friends urged him to think carefully, not to repeat the past and fall for another emotional con.

The cool, aloof man simply lit a cigarette and exhaled slowly.

"She's the woman I love. Don't presume to judge her."

Besides, even if he was being deceived, so what?

Loving Song Xilou was something he chose, again and again.

----Coming Soon: I Won't Fall for Her----

Pregnancy Before Love | A Playboy Second Son Learns to Be a Good Dog | They Can't Stand Each Other at First, Then It's All Sweetness

Shu Yi is the eldest daughter of the Shu family. Beautiful and polished, cool and composed, she's the ideal wife every young master in Beijing dreams of marrying.

But one man thinks she's antisocial, old-fashioned, and impossible to get along with.

Song Yucheng is the second son of the Song family. Charming and carefree, rich and generous, he's the darling of everyone around him.

But one woman calls him a shameless womanizer who can't stay faithful.

A blind date leaves each of them with a certain someone they can't stand. They each lay down the law: whoever gives in first is a dog.

But when they wake up, they find themselves in the same bed.

One look is all it takes for them to reach an unspoken agreement:

They'll pretend nothing happened.

Then, two months later, a pregnancy test shatters the peace.

Song Yucheng clutches the test result. "It's mine?"

Shu Yi sneers. "It's the dog's."

-

On the day she gives birth,

Shu Yi wears an oxygen mask, but there's a smile in her eyes as she looks at Song Yucheng.

"You're crying."

"Yeah." He doesn't deny it anymore. He just crouches beside her.

"Woof, woof."

His tears fall at the corner of her eye.

"Your little dog loves you."

-

Ever since news broke of the marriage alliance between the Song and Shu families, Song Yucheng has vanished from every major nightlife spot.

His friends notice he's going to fewer and fewer parties, while stories of how devoted he is to Shu Yi keep piling up. Curious, one of them asks:

"Didn't you say you wouldn't fall for her?"

Song Yucheng says nothing. He just presses his phone, still waiting for a call from his wife, to his chest, looking miserable.

"I think I'll die if I can't see Xiao Yi again soon."

His friend: "..."

There's no saving a man with a love-addled brain.
