That Year the Wind Could Never Sweep Away

Childhood sweethearts | Reunion after years apart | Mutual devotion | High school | Happy ending

Xu Zhuo had a childhood sweetheart.

His name was Chen Sinian.

When they were young and naive, most childhood sweethearts bickered and fought. Chen Sinian, however, protected Xu Zhuo especially well.

They lost touch in middle school, and three years passed before they met again.

_

On the way to school by bicycle, Xu Zhuo passed a park where a boy had the entire basketball court to himself.

The greenery swayed gently on either side. A breeze swept across the court and stirred the boy's clothes, while the morning light shone through his tousled hair.

A clean, effortless dunk.

Xu Zhuo stopped breathing.

It was actually...

Chen Sinian.

That summer.

For the first time in his seventeen years, Xu Zhuo fell in love.

And it was with the childhood sweetheart he hadn't seen in years.

_

Everyone at school knew Chen Sinian was a gifted young man: aloof and difficult to approach, and especially resistant to girls getting close to him.

One day, after the rain had just stopped,

someone saw the immensely esteemed Young Master Chen bend down and carefully carry the new transfer student over a puddle.

_

When they were little, they ran through the fields.

Xu Zhuo said she could control the wind.

So during the three years they were apart, whenever the wind blew past Chen Sinian, it made him desperately miss the girl who could command it.

That year, the wind never stopped blowing.

[The wind never stopped blowing that year, just as Chen Sinian never stopped missing her]

Next up: Running from the Wedding

Running from the Wedding (set in the same world as this story)

Blurb:

Two wealthy families, a marriage before love, and a runaway bride he chases until there's nowhere left to run.

"This city isn't that big. I'll watch you run."

A spoiled heiress pretending to be sweet x a fake gentleman and true scoundrel, the crown prince of the capital's social scene

Marriage between powerful families | Marriage before love | Chasing after a runaway wife | A scoundrel who loves deeply

Blurb:

Born into a prestigious family, Leng Xiaoyue was engaged as a child to You Liangren, the crown prince of the capital's social scene, but they had never met or been in touch.

They finally met when Leng Xiaoyue went to Beijing for graduate school. You Liangren was disciplined and courteous, every bit the learned gentleman, and had never even been the subject of a scandal.

When they went to register their marriage, she laid out the unpleasant truth first. "Our marriage happened so suddenly. You don't mind if I'm slow to adjust, do you?"

He said of course not.

So just like when she was single, she turned around and ordered two male escorts to keep her company over drinks.

You Liangren's expression darkened. Without a word, he turned the nightclub upside down.

_

Leng Xiaoyue thought that was the limit of what he could do. Then she discovered that this refined, elegant man was utterly shameless when he lost control in private, constantly upending everything she thought she knew about him.

Especially in the bedroom. You Liangren excelled at taking charge and calling the shots. Wherever they were, he could leave her breathless with one hand, kissing her in the throes of passion as he murmured:

"Please me."

She couldn't handle this man and resolved to run away.

She sped off in a car late at night, only to be surrounded.

She tried to escape by plane in the middle of the night, only to be intercepted.

She cut off all contact, only to be caught.

Inside a luxury car,

Leng Xiaoyue was backed into a corner with nowhere left to go. Unable to take it anymore, she slapped him across the face.

A red mark stood out on You Liangren's handsome cheek. He leaned down and pinned her in place, then kissed her earlobe and whispered, word by word:

"That wasn't satisfying enough."

_

Later, fed up with his constant pursuit, Leng Xiaoyue brazenly packed her things and left. When You Liangren stopped her at the villa gates, she coldly said:

"I hate you."

He said nothing, only looking at her as his eyes suddenly reddened with tears.

Her heart skipped a beat.

Oh no. She seemed to be wavering...
