Waiting for the Birds to Fly

Reunion at the start | Romantic tension | Daring and passionate heroine x Obsessive hero

Lin Yuan once thought she never wanted to see Duan Qiye again.

After a brief, wild summer following the college entrance exams, they broke up on bad terms and went their separate ways.

When they meet again, she's drunk at a wrap party and runs into Duan Qiye in a suit. Even his impeccable looks can't conceal what he's really like.

"Need a hand? You look like someone slipped you something, Miss Lin."

"I'm a little hot." Lin Yuan deliberately insults him. "I was just about to call a man to take care of it. If you want to help, Mr. Duan, you'll have to compete for the job."

"How do I compete?"

Duan Qiye stares at her flushed lips. "Teach me, Miss Lin."

-

Lin Yuan suddenly becomes famous, and the insults and speculation follow. Everyone wants to know which big shot is backing her, and they'd love nothing more than to dig up every last detail.

Backstage at the awards ceremony, a friend sees the deep bite mark on Duan Qiye's neck and jokes, "Director Duan, don't tell me you couldn't control yourself and bullied some young lady?"

Duan Qiye turns his head and sees Lin Yuan, dressed in red, walk through the door. Their eyes meet, and undercurrents surge.

Relaxed, he says for her to hear, "She treats me like a dog. So who's bullying whom?"

-

Duan Qiye lost most of his memories in an accident.

After seven years of torment, he arranged to meet Lin Yuan again.

It doesn't matter if I've forgotten.

She'll come back to the nest I've carefully prepared for her.

-

One-on-one, both are each other's only partners, no one else

The further I write, the more carried away I get. I'm losing control of my kinks, so just read it however you like.

The complete campus series novel, Dusk Is Falling, is finished, finished, finished!

"A first love etched into the heart, the one and only who never wavers." - Zhou Jinchuan

Pei Sangyu never expected that right after transferring schools, she'd break her promise to her grandfather not to cause trouble and offend the most talked-about boy at the affiliated high school, Zhou Jinchuan.

Rumor had it he held a grudge, so she worried things would get out of hand and gave in first.

Before long, she was bringing him gifts, copying notes for him, and making dinner.

She also had to satisfy one of Zhou Jinchuan's bizarre requests: a half-hour phone call every night.

All her classmates, including Zhou Jinchuan himself, thought Pei Sangyu had fallen for him. Her friend advised her not to make trouble for herself. Countless people had confessed to him, after all, and no one could win over that proud, unruly big shot.

"Chase him? Am I a masochist?" Pei Sangyu said, flipping through practice exams without looking up.

One day, after a basketball game, Pei Sangyu followed Zhou Jinchuan all the way to the locker room.

Leaning against the door, she hooked a finger into his clothes and, with practiced ease, pretended to be good. "I'll grant you one more request, and then we'll be even."

"Sure." Zhou Jinchuan lowered his eyes to look at her.

"Like me, and I'll let it go."

-

When they meet again, Pei Sangyu sees how the boy has grown into someone with ever sharper features. She wants to get closer, but no longer has the confidence to rely on his affection.

After several failed attempts to sound him out, she decides to go to his place and risk everything, kissing the corner of Zhou Jinchuan's lips. "I'm returning what I owed you back then."
