Pre-release novel: What Should I Do If I Keep Wanting to Hug My Ex? Blurb at the very end~

Blurb for this novel:

Shan Xun and Yan Yang first met in a hallway at an opera house overseas, passing each other by.

One felt as calm as a breeze, while the other's heart was in turmoil.

Yan Yang stood rooted to the spot, watching Shan Xun walk away. Ah... so this is what it feels like to fall for someone.

*

They met again at the airport. Fate had brought them together!

When their eyes first met, there were no sparks. Shan Xun merely glanced at him indifferently.

Yan Yang, an invincible, devastatingly handsome man on par with a young Leo DiCaprio: Is this the first time someone hasn't been moved by me? Good. You've got my attention now, man.

The second time their eyes met, Shan Xun was just as unmoved.

But the extremely self-absorbed Yan Yang figured the other man had looked away so quickly because he was too shy.

His thin lips curled up slightly in a lazy, teasing smile. Fallen for me, haven't you?

But Shan Xun was thinking: He's handsome, sure, but he looks like a playboy. Flirtatious, too. Better stay away.

Shan Xun left with his friends. As the saying goes, friends stick together, and Shan Xun left his phone on the seat, where Yan Yang happened to spot it.

As Yan Yang felt around in his pocket, a fair, finely boned hand appeared before him. His gaze traveled upward, and the corners of his mouth lifted slightly. "Is this your phone?" The other man's voice rose at the end.

Only after returning home did Shan Xun realize that what he had picked up wasn't a phone, but Yan Yang himself.

*

From then on, Yan Yang launched a series of shameless, full-throttle attacks. During that time, Shan Xun received gifts and enjoyed lavish meals nonstop.

Yan Yang: I have money, and I'll do what I want.

Shan Xun: Rich nouveau, I can't pay you back.

Yan Yang: You don't have to. It's all yours from now on.

Shan Xun: That's true. I'm your one and only master, after all.

A self-obsessed, flirtatious, affection-starved, jealous top and a long-haired, aloof, chuuni, sharp-tongued bottom.

P.S.

1. The entire story is told in reverse chronological order.

2. A slow-burn slice-of-life story.

3. The top has dated a lot, but never slept with anyone. Readers with strong purity preferences, beware.

4. Neither lead is perfect. Readers with extreme character preferences, please stay away.

5. Set in a partly fictional world. Please don't compare it to reality.

Blurb for the pre-release novel:

Everyone in the industry knows that Qi Nian, a famous photographer with silver-white hair and a cold demeanor, has an ex-boyfriend he broke up with years ago.

People say Qi Nian turns down countless admirers because he is staying faithful to his ex.

Qi Nian says coldly, "I never loved him." 😒

And yet, in private, the two of them

hug and kiss... 🫣

They do everything former lovers aren't supposed to do, like a couple still in the throes of a passionate romance.

*

Qi Nian suffers from severe skin hunger. Since splitting up with Lu Mingsong, it has only gotten worse. When night falls and all is quiet, his body burns restlessly, leaving him unable to sleep.

He tried treatment and did his best to control himself. He even held Lu Mingsong's clothes in his arms, but nothing helped.

He thought he would have to endure this pain for the rest of his life. But after returning home for a work assignment, he unexpectedly ran into Lu Mingsong again.

*

Their friends watched the two of them storm out, worried they might start fighting. 🤔

Lu Mingsong followed close behind. "A Nian, listen to me. About what happened back then..." 🥺🥺

Qi Nian could take no more. He grabbed Lu Mingsong and pinned him against the wall. "Lu Mingsong, stay away from me!" 😠

One spark, and the whole thing went up in flames. 👏🫦

The next day, Qi Nian looked at the mess on the floor as waves of pain swept over him.

But the unbearable torment that had plagued him for years was gone.

"Don't go." Lu Mingsong held Qi Nian tightly.

Qi Nian struggled to break free. "Lu Mingsong, this was an accident. I'll say it again: stay away from me."

*

After that, their acquaintances saw them going home and leaving together more times than they could count.

A friend asked, "You two made up?"

They gave the same answer: "No."

One night,

Lu Mingsong kissed Qi Nian's tear-streaked cheek. "Please forgive me." 🥺🥺

Eyes red, Qi Nian cursed viciously, "Go to hell." 😠

"But A Nian, you're holding me so tight."
