Luring the Red Carp

*The full story costs less than five yuan. Thanks to everyone who supports authors by buying the official version.*

[Moody, rebellious, sickly madman vs. cool-headed, straightforward, soft-hearted big sister]

Song Nanxue, a rich young master with long, flowing hair and a face like the bright moon, is a disabled little pervert who spends his days hiding in the dark.

For the generous pay, Ji Yan puts on a dress printed with red carp and steps into the little pervert's enormous mansion.

She becomes his tutor, his big sister, his friend, and, in the end, his wife.

On their wedding day, Song Nanxue suddenly rises from his wheelchair and gently cups Ji Yan's cheeks. He is like a sinister, pitch-black ghost.

Only after he tears away his mask and pretense does Ji Yan finally understand:

Hiring a tutor was just a trap to catch a red carp. Ji Yan was the fish caught in the net, and Song Nanxue was the vast net itself.

"Song Nanxue."

Ji Yan raises her eyes gently, looking at the boy with reddened eyes.

Nobody expected that after all their twists and turns, Ji Yan would be the one to win in the end, and without even breaking a sweat.

He expected her to break down and cry after being tricked into marriage, but she simply accepted everything calmly.

In her heart, she could erase their years of affection at any moment. She could abandon him, too, just as easily.

She would never let anyone keep her trapped.

He declares arrogantly, "Ji Yan, I'll make you pay."

She answers without expression, "Fine."

His face darkens. "What did you say?"

She turns and walks away. "Goodbye."

In the end, he finally admits defeat. Like a beaten little beast, he leans against his sickbed and cries out in despair, "Big Sister, come back. Come back to me."

--- The following is the blurb for the next novel ---

1.

During the summer of Yu Kui Kui's first year of high school, she accidentally added a boy on WeChat.

He was a piano blogger who made no money from his videos. She was his only fan.

One night, in the small hours, she called him. "Xu Songning, my house is on fire."

But he was far away in Beijing, gravely ill and weak. All he could do was guide her through escaping the fire, step by step.

So she took an eight-hour high-speed train from Chengdu to Beijing.

Under the blue sky and white clouds, she stood before the Echo Wall at the Temple of Heaven and shouted, "Xu Songning!"

Then she lowered her voice and added, "I like you."

She saw Xu Songning emerge from behind the western side hall. He smiled faintly, saying nothing.

2.

A snowy night. White streetlights.

She caught a glimpse of a man's pale, handsome face inside a black car as it flashed past.

That wasn't the gentle Xu Songning anymore. He was now an untouchable rich young master.

The rich young master wouldn't even meet her in person. He only had someone deliver a letter:

I'm sorry, but I never loved you.

3.

Much later, she finally managed to get into that hospital room.

The person in bed wore an oxygen mask and was unconscious.

She had no choice but to lean close to his ear and say:

"I know now. The day my house caught fire, you were so worried that your illness got worse, and you were rushed to the ER that night. I also know that a week ago, you could no longer stand, but you secretly came to Chengdu in a wheelchair to see me. And I know that you..."

The person in bed finally woke up. His weak little finger gently hooked around her index finger.

"All right... stop talking."
