[Crazy, pure-hearted bad-girl actress × straightforward, pure-love writer with a quick temper]

"Li Xianjing, I don't care whether you deliberately got close to me and used me. I only want to know, that night, when you whispered 'I love you' in my ear, was it true or a lie?"

*

Blurb:

After a completely inexplicable chance encounter, Lin Jing got drenched like a drowned rat in the middle of the night!

"Hey, why are you wearing sunglasses while driving at night? I'm standing right there by the road, a whole person, and you didn't see me?!"

"Take this money. It should be enough to cover your clothes. I have somewhere to be."

"..."

The "perpetrator" wore a wine-red dress and had long, wavy hair, but a mask and sunglasses hid her entire face. Lin Jing was so angry she couldn't even tell what the woman looked like!

Li Xianjing was already having a terrible day. She never expected to run into a human megaphone who just kept talking nonstop on her way home. What Li Xianjing didn't expect was that this human megaphone would eventually become the one who saved her from her miserable life.

*

"Lin Jing, can't we be friends?"

"No. I hate it when people befriend me for their own benefit."

"You think I got close to you for my own benefit?"

"Didn't you?"

"..."

Lin Jing hit the mark, but Li Xianjing had no intention of giving up.

"Lin Jing."

"What now?!"

"People can lie with their mouths, but their eyes can't. Look at me. I'm sincere."

"..."

Lin Jing knew Li Xianjing had ulterior motives for getting close to her, but she couldn't bring herself to reject the woman's advances. She knew hunters often appeared in the guise of prey, but Lin Jing still wanted to bet that Li Xianjing had at least a little sincerity for her. The outcome was predictable: she lost miserably.

*

One night, an actress who had won all three major awards arrived in disguise, shook off the reporters, and finally got to knock on Lin Jing's door.

"Lin Jing, can we talk?"

"..."

After checking the time, Lin Jing, who had been about to go to bed, looked exasperated.

"Talk at eleven at night?"

"I had no choice. You don't reply to my messages or answer my calls, so I had to come find you."

"Li Xianjing, there's nothing left for us to talk about."

"Lin Jing, I..."

"If that's all, please leave. My girlfriend is waiting for me in the bedroom."

"..."

*

A little extra

During a variety show recording.

Before filming started, Lin Jing was immersed in thought, trying to figure out how to finish the task as quickly as possible, when she let her guard down for a moment and got cornered in the pool by a woman who swam up beside her!

"Lin Jing, look at me."

"Hey, filming's about to start. Li Xianjing, what are you doing?!"

"Are you still mad at me?"

"Who's mad at you? Move!"

"Lin Jing, can't you just forgive me?"

"..."

Please note:

1. The younger partner is three years younger, and both characters are adults.

2. Both are mature, confident women.

3. Both are each other's only partner.

4. Happy ending.

5. Slow-burn romance.

[Gentle, sophisticated, flirtatious older teacher × dark, devoted, aloof younger woman]

The new homeroom teacher was sophisticated and beautiful. She spoke softly, and her gentle, expressive eyes made everyone's heart melt. All the students in the class liked their beautiful teacher, except for one.

"Chen Lu, Teacher Gu wants you to take her homework to the office."

"Chen Lu, Teacher Gu wants you to help her grade the papers in the office."

"Chen Lu, Teacher Gu wants you to help water her flowers in the office."

"Chen Lu, Teacher Gu wants you to..."

Chen Lu, who ran to the Chinese teachers' office eight hundred times a day, was speechless. Why couldn't they ask the class representative to do these things?

Teacher Gu had this to say: I wanted to choose you as the class representative, but you didn't want to, did you?

*

Eighteen-year-old Chen Lu met twenty-eight-year-old Gu Wanjun. Her young crush took root in her heart without a sound, then grew wildly. But on the day it finally broke through the earth, brimming with hope, all that awaited it was the prospect of being torn out by the roots.

Gu Wanjun had personally killed the rose she'd planted.

Time passed, and everything changed. Five years had turned Chen Lu, who had once stubbornly insisted on getting an answer, into a much more mature person.

Why cling to a valley that never echoes back? She should have let go long ago.

*

At a class reunion, after dinner, homeroom teacher Gu Wanjun called on her once-favorite student to go out of her way and drive her home.

In front of everyone, Chen Lu couldn't refuse.

*

Little Gu Duoduo adored the pretty older sister who had brought her mother home. When Chen Lu tried to leave, the little rice-ball of a child clung to her leg and wouldn't let go.

"Mom, can Sister Chen Lu stay over and sleep with us tonight?"

"Mom wants to ask the same thing. Can Sister Chen Lu stay tonight?"

The young woman who had once been endlessly gentle with her was now distant, keeping everyone at arm's length. Gu Wanjun looked up at the face she had missed so dearly and summoned the courage to ask.

Outside, rain poured in torrents. Inside, mother and daughter, one big and one small, looked at Chen Lu. She sighed, unable to refuse.

*

"There's only two bedrooms in our place. How about sharing a bed with me?"

"No, thanks. I'll sleep on the sofa."

"You can't sleep on the sofa. You're not in good health, and you'll catch a cold. Come sleep in the bed."

"No, thanks. I haven't forgotten a single word Teacher Gu said back then."

"Lulu, I..."

"Gu Wanjun, I don't like you anymore."

Eighteen is the dividing line between dreams and reality, one end tied to dreams and the other holding on to reality. To eighteen-year-old Chen Lu, Gu Wanjun was both an unattainable dream and a reality within reach. Now she's twenty-four, and it's time for her to wake from that dream.
