*Pre-collection: Slow, Slow Growth. Please add it to your collection! The blurb is after this novel's description.
Qin Yideng has the word "lamp" in her name. When the elders in her family named her, they said they hoped a lighthouse would always guide her way.
A casual act of kindness from that person inspired Qin Yideng to spend a whole summer transforming her spoken English.
Other people work hard for a reason, and so does she. She wants the bookmark in her hand to never fade.
It's a long, demanding endeavor, so Qin Yideng found a good way to practice every day: becoming a foreign-language reading streamer. Unexpectedly, she became a sleep-aid streamer instead. After a deliberate chance encounter, he said, "Help me sleep."
She kept making the right moves, one step at a time, but unexpectedly, he was wide awake and setting a trap while she fell for it sincerely. She managed to give him a result that left nobody worse off or better off, a respectable outcome.
The lighthouse flickered for an instant, and the road ahead grew unclear. He found a worn old book, The Collected Poems of Borges, with a decades-old bookmark tucked inside. On it was something he'd written who knew how long ago: "I offer you the loyalty of a man who has never been loyal." "I offer you the loyalty of a man who has never believed in anything."
Snow and fog blurred his vision as he went to return the bookmark.
She didn't want it anymore. Bracing herself with bright red lychee-like eyes, she told him without a trace of sentiment, "I want to get married. You're not invited to the wedding."
The small bookmark in his hand suddenly felt painfully sharp. He clenched it in secret, his gaze like a remote mountain reflected in white snow, and answered her, "I'll come uninvited."
Later, on their wedding night, with the wedding candles burning long into the night, Chen Siyu was thoroughly faithful to his beliefs.
The bookmark would never fade again.
1. Six-year age gap.
2. Both have had no previous partners. Happy ending!
3. The female lead works as a translator and occasionally livestreams herself reading.

Slow, Slow Growth
During the summer after her second year of college, Shen Ransheng stayed home and worked as cheap labor for her own mother. At the family clinic, she brewed medicine and poured tea for visitors. In the steam rising from the tea, she indulged her hobby of reading people's palms. She just hadn't seen anyone with such faint palm lines before. With a serious expression, she said, "Sir, your palm lines are so faint. I'm afraid your luck isn't great. You have shallow ties and little fortune."
He glanced at her and smiled. "Luck may not be on my side, but you haven't told me whether our connection is shallow."
She wore a strand of agarwood beads on her wrist, just like the one on his, only a little lighter in color.
The person in charge of the city came to greet him respectfully. Shen Ransheng looked from the medicine pot to the teacup to him, and guilt made her say the tea was too hot. It was so hot it made her cheeks red and her ears burn.
Later, wearing his beads, she lowered her brows and traced the lines on his palm with her fingers. The one said to represent love wouldn't grow longer or deeper, no matter how she traced it. He kissed the furrow from her brow.
Theme: Study hard and pursue your dreams. Sleep well and be yourself.
Sweet yet cruel, waiting to break up
Our lamps can be called by many names!!! Hahahaha, all kinds of lights
Dear, the novel you are reading is finished. Please give it a five-star review! Pre-collection of "Slowly Living", please collect it~ Shen Ransheng worked as a cheap labor force for her own mother at home during the summer vacation of her sophomore year. She made medicine and made tea for people in her own medical clinic. While the tea soup was steaming, she used her hobby to catch people reading palms. However, she seemed to have never seen anyone with such shallow hand lines. She said seriously: "Sir, your hand lines are too shallow. I'm afraid you will have bad luck. You are not blessed with good luck." He glanced at her and said with a smile: "Luck doesn't work, fate has not yet been determined." There is a string of agarwood on her wrist that is exactly the same as the string on his hand, but the color is slightly lighter. The city manager bowed down to entertain him. Shen Ransheng looked at the medicine jar, the tea bowl, and him. She felt guilty and said that the tea soup was too hot. It was so hot that her cheeks turned red and her ears burned. Later, she wore his bracelet, raised her eyebrows, and traced the lines on his palms with her fingers, which symbolized love. No matter how she traced them, they couldn't be long or deep. He kissed her forehead evenly.
The main text is expected to be finished this week. If you have any extras you want to see, you can comment on this post. I will try my best to satisfy you, haha. Let's see if my brain circuits and mine have collided.
Hehehe, is Mr. Chen coming?
Is Mr. Chen going to start chasing his wife?

Woohoo, it seems like the abuse is about to begin??
Save! I skipped and watched a little bit, and it felt so cruel.
Let me explain to you guys, I am a little behind on tonight. I have just finished my work. I have been busy with something since the end of March. I was so busy that I couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, and even the update was even worse. I finally finished this tonight! The update frequency will be restored next. I promise to someone that I will update at least 3,000 words every day for the next few days in April. I will update twice tomorrow, and I will update daily until the end of the text. I can't go home on May Day without eating delicious food!
