[He secretly loves her] [She tries to reel him in, but gets reeled in herself] [Next book coming soon]
They say Zhong Buyu has the kind of beauty that looks like her man just died.
By day, she plays the pretty ornament, lost in the praise on social media.
At night, she taps away at her keyboard and falls asleep counting the scant few comments on her novel.
She teased cats, teased dogs, and then teased a young man.
She naturally assumed that this footballer, newly returned from abroad, was no different from most men: the only thing on his mind was getting laid. He'd forget her soon enough.
Neither of us should pretend we can't handle this.

National team rookie He Xu had just finished his first match as MVP. He crossed a wall of reporters, called out "Sis" to the sports journalist in the back row, and took her microphone.
A clip of their familiar, intimate chemistry spread online. Zhong Buyu responded, "He's just a younger guy I know."
After the match, an entertainment reporter scrolled through the video's comments and came across a popular one:
Calling her "Sis" during the day, and at night...
He Xu replied, "No, she usually writes in the evenings."
The reporter caught a whiff of gossip. "She's a writer on the side? So when do you two spend time together?"
He Xu shrugged. "I'll tell you once I win her over."
