Spring Night Fantasies

■ The print edition is now available at major online shopping platforms. ■ Weibo: Xiao Changjin | Super Topic: Novel Spring Night Daydream "By the time my unrequited love was over, I'd almost forgotten what you looked like. I wondered if I was only in love with your name. So I wrote your name over and over, waiting for the day you'd put my hair up with a claw clip." After her parents spent days arguing, Lin Liuxi curled up under the covers and cried all night. No one remembered that it was her birthday. She couldn't stay awake during evening study and dozed off. When she woke, the classroom was empty. The school had lost power, but Xie Zhaonian hadn't left. They shared a birthday. The boy had received mountains of presents and was surrounded by friends. She couldn't help feeling envious. Distracted, she knocked over his pencil case. Lin Liuxi hurried to pick everything up. The boy cut off a piece of cake and pushed it in front of her, then asked casually, "Want some?" That offhand show of concern stayed with her throughout her youth. In her high school diary, Lin Liuxi was always more full of resentment than a ghost. "Studying is like attending a funeral. I'm a corpse already." "I will hate math forever. Screw you, Golden Sun. I'm done studying!" "Yan De Yin Cai's mock exam! Whoever wrote these questions, do you even know what your answers are babbling about?!" But one day, she wrote in her diary: "Maybe I decided to like you just because high school was so hard. I felt like I couldn't go on, so I had to find a little surprise for myself." Later, when she could barely breathe under the endless sea of practice questions, Lin Liuxi wrote his name over and over in the corners of her worksheets and books. Xie Zhaonian really did keep bringing her "surprises." Lin Liuxi was still miserable about having to attend holiday classes when she heard he'd teamed up with students from another school to report their school. When he was kicked out of the grade office, Lin Liuxi and the rest of the class leaned out the windows to watch. As he passed her, she hid her involuntarily curling lips behind her exam paper. He was so cool. After the college entrance exam, they went their separate ways. When Lin Liuxi heard Xie Zhaonian had a girlfriend, she made peace with it. Until one day, her mother was cleaning her room and found a letter in her high school textbooks: a love letter three years too late. It was written during their final evening study session, when everyone ran into the hall to shout out the windows. Lin Liuxi and her friend linked arms and exchanged smiles in the crowd as the moon rose behind the school building. Among the papers fluttering through the air, the boy rested his head on one hand, gazed at her outside the window, and wrote the final line of his love letter. * A socially anxious introvert, a sweet and innocent high school girl with a lot of grievances, and a boyish, carefree troublemaker ● A happy ending, both each other's first love, and no prior relationships. The male lead never had a girlfriend; it was a misunderstanding. ● The female lead is one year younger than the male lead, but they share the same birthday. ● The story is set under the new college entrance exam system (3+2+1), with two subjects scored on a grade-conversion basis. Yan De Ying Cai (mockingly called Yan De Yin Cai), Sanxiang, Peipei Education, and Golden Sun are all mock-exam organizers. T8, which appears in the senior year, refers to the joint exam taken by eight provinces. Note: Please don't ask me to add this to ranking lists!!!

Coming soon: "Burnt Out" 1, An earthquake strikes Nancheng, and Sheng Huili is trapped beneath a pile of rubble. Her vision goes dark, her arm is stained with blood, and she weakly leaves a final message in her notes app. She thinks she's going to die today. But then a shaft of light filters down from above. A man jumps into the rubble. Wearing a military uniform, he crouches in front of her and asks in a low, mocking voice, "Heh... Are you okay?" Sheng Huili's eyes contract. It's Xie Jingchuan, the man she'd brutally dumped years ago. 2, Back in high school, Xie Jingchuan was the school bully at No. 1 High. With his wealthy, influential family behind him, he was a delinquent who refused to study, and his terrible temper was notorious. She, on the other hand, was sweet and well-behaved. Everyone assumed Xie Jingchuan would dump her once he got tired of her. Who could have expected that this proud, unruly boy would chase the train she was leaving on, falling over again and again until his knees were covered in blood? Sheng Huili glanced back. The boy stared coldly at her, every bit as arrogant as when they'd first met, and threw out a threat: "Sheng Huili, if you're good enough to break up with me, then don't show your face again for the rest of your life. Otherwise, I'll kill you." 3, She never thought they'd meet again like this. Sheng Huili lowered her head, avoiding the man's cold gaze. Xie Jingchuan pursued her as if to get revenge, backing her against the sofa, his knee pressing into her waist. She had nowhere to retreat, and fear showed on her face. The man sneered. "What are you afraid of? It's not like I'm going to eat you alive." So can you please not break up with me? ● Both are each other's first and only, and the male lead pursues the female lead. A reunion after years apart, a broken relationship mended, and memories of their school days. ● Sweet, well-behaved girl x outrageous, cocky special forces soldier ● In the school scenes, the male lead is a genuine cocky delinquent who reforms for love. ● If you want a realistic school romance, go read "Spring Night Daydream" instead.
