Childhood Friends with a Little Crush

Please add my next story, She's a Force, to your favorites! Xu Xingxue and Jiang Jianchuan lived across the hall from each other. Their parents were close, and they were born in the same maternity ward. Before they even had teeth, they'd been in each other's arms, biting one another. Childhood friends who couldn't stand each other, they fought from the time they were little. The short scar on Xu Xingxue's head and the bite mark on Jiang Jianchuan's collarbone bore witness to how wild their childhoods had been. In high school, their teenage hormones turned them into sworn enemies. Whenever they met, they fought. Until after the college entrance exams, when they went their separate ways, one north and one south, and could only see each other once a year, if that. Jiang Jianchuan was reluctant to let her go. "If anyone gives you trouble..." Xu Xingxue rolled her eyes and walked away without looking back. After six months apart, Jiang Jianchuan really did miss her. When he came home for winter break, they ran into each other downstairs in their apartment building. A tall, thin boy stood beside Xu Xingxue. They looked... like a couple. Jiang Jianchuan: "..." You traitor! Turning against the cause?! Little scene: Xu Xingxue had once declared: Even if every man in the world died, I'd never consider Jiang Jianchuan!!! Later: Well, they haven't all died yet. (said very quietly) Jiang Jianchuan used to think of Xu Xingxue as a little sister. They were so close that he couldn't see what was right in front of him. Then they separated, and she went far away. One choked-up sentence from Xu Xingxue on the phone was enough to make him drive through a blizzard for a whole day and night to her city. All so he could say: "Who hurt you?" 1.

Short story, probably around 160,000 characters Blurb for She's a Force: 1. At first, Huo Jue couldn't stand the girl who had suddenly appeared in his home. Poor, tacky, fierce, and loud about everything. Feng Xiao couldn't be bothered with the sickly boy in the wheelchair, either. Sensitive, gloomy, useless, and seemingly mute. At home, they couldn't stand each other and barely spoke. But at school, Feng Xiao threw punches at troublemakers and kicked bullies' asses for Huo Jue. "Picking on a cripple, are you?" She snatched the mop from the student on cleaning duty and snapped the hardwood handle against her knee with a crack. "Anyone else who runs their mouth, I'll smash it in!" Huo Jue stared, stunned. "...She swears, too." 2. Feng Xiao had always thrown her weight around back in her village. At her new school, she didn't go a single day without causing trouble. Huo Jue acted like it was none of his business, but quietly cleaned up her messes afterward. A friend complained, "What's so great about a violent country girl?" Huo Jue, usually so mild-mannered, thought for a moment. "None of your damn business." 3. When Feng Xiao was fourteen, her uncle took a bride price and arranged a marriage for her. When Feng Xiao was eighteen, her uncle brought her fiance to take her back to the village to get married and have children. Huo Jue sprang out of his wheelchair and pointed at the man's nose. "If you dare get in the way of her college entrance exams, I'll dig up every last grave in your damn family!" Feng Xiao's eyes filled with tears. "The young master cares about me!" Huo Jue turned around and yelled at her, too. "If you don't get into an undergraduate program, I'll dig them up and bury you in there!" The butler wiped away his tears. "It's been so long since the young master had this much energy." 4. As a child, Feng Xiao dreamed of becoming a widow like the one next door. Rugged, sturdy, loud, and impossible to bully. Later, she grew up rugged, sturdy, and loud. She gave up on becoming a widow. Her young master needed to live to be a hundred. 1. A young master led astray x a girl who can fight and shout 2. Mutual pining, both fall for each other, and save each other 3. The Huo family's second young master and his beloved little menace 4.
