When the Plums Turn Yellow

[My next novel, Ebony Wood Meets Spring, is now open: Rugged ethnic-minority man x gentle girl] [Complete | Dance major fairy x gloomy, scheming boy] 1. During the summer vacation of her first year of high school, Qin Mei went with the dance troupe to train in a coastal town. There she met a classmate's older brother, and her girlish heart began to flutter. At dinner, blushing, she greeted him along with her classmate: "Hello, big brother." Just then, the other boy sitting across from them raised his eyes. Her classmate introduced him: "This is Bo Siyi, my brother's friend." Qin Mei looked over at him. His sharply defined features were cold and stern, and his narrow, upturned eyes made him look like bad news. Before she arrived, she'd just caught him in the middle of something he shouldn't have been doing. 2. Qin Mei danced for the boy she had a crush on, and Bo Siyi watched. Qin Mei cooked for the boy she had a crush on, and Bo Siyi ate it. Qin Mei wrote a letter to the boy she had a crush on, and Bo Siyi took it. After repeatedly directing her affections at the wrong person, Qin Mei decided to fake a faint at the school sports meet and fall in front of her crush. But with her eyes closed, she heard Bo Siyi say, "Go get the school doctor, quickly." Once everyone had left, Bo Siyi crouched beside her. His voice curled with laughter as he savored her performance: "Little fox, don't pretend to be a little white rabbit around me." 3. Qin Mei's first classical dance performance as the lead ended in triumph. The backstage passage was piled high with flowers from the audience. Amid the colorful bouquets, a pure white rose with a card caught her eye. The coastal city was hot and humid in summer. Clutching the rain-soaked envelope, Qin Mei walked into Bo Siyi's room, her fingertips trembling slightly. "He wrote me a love letter." A long hand drew the curtains closed, and a towering shadow fell before her. He leaned down. "I'll teach you one last time. Don't just stick to kissing."

From morning until sunset, she waited to see the defendant return. But the moment he showed up, he hopped into a black off-road vehicle and took off. She chased him deep into the wilderness and finally forced the vehicle to stop. A pair of handcuffs joined her wrist to the man's sinewy one. Just before altitude sickness hit, she panted, "You can't get away now." When Zhou Mo woke again, she was in a Mongolian yurt lit by a butter lamp. A child was giving her water. When the child saw her open her eyes, his dark eyes lit up and he shouted, "Lou Wangdong, your wife is awake!" Wait, the defendant Zhou Mo was after wasn't named Lou Wangdong. The man gazed at her with eyes as deep and dark as ebony. Zhou Mo silently wondered where things had gone wrong, but then he spoke in a low voice: "I don't care what my mother told you, but I don't need a matchmaking date." An idea to turn the situation to her advantage sprang into Zhou Mo's mind. "Help me find someone, and I'll unlock the handcuffs." Lou Wangdong's eyes darkened like a wolf's on the grassland. "If you don't unlock them, we'll sleep here tonight." - Theme: Girls should boldly pursue the choices they want.
