Currently preparing a backlog of chapters.
Beside the basketball court, every girl is sneaking glances at Xie Jinghuai as he plays.
His jersey is bright red, and he's carefree and unruly. He just won the Olympiad and got accepted to a prestigious university through recommendation. He's known as one of the two most handsome boys at Hong Kong High, alongside Song Xiye.
My best friend says, "He smiles at everyone. He's really so sweet."
Song Yumian speaks up: "He's obviously..." a piece of trash.
Even though he's my brother's best friend, he's a phony with a mean streak. He's nice to everyone else and only mean to me.
I don't want to admit that I once wrote that jerk a love letter.
*
But I still like him. My infatuation keeps rising like the spring tide.
Everyone thinks Xie Jinghuai only sees me as a little sister, with no interest or ulterior motives. Girls even ask me to deliver their love letters to him.
At a high school reunion, someone maliciously passes my love letter around. Someone deliberately says in front of Xie Jinghuai, "How dare you like Xie Jinghuai?"
"You cling to him just because your brother's close to him. Have you no shame?"
Everyone bursts out laughing. My eyes turn red, and I get up to leave.
"I was the one who liked her first."
Someone suddenly grabs my wrist. Everyone stares in shock as Xie Jinghuai looks up and fixes his gaze on me. "A month ago, in my room, I confessed to her. She turned me down."
"I couldn't help kissing her. It was my first kiss."
"So I'm the one pursuing her."
"Her brother doesn't know."
The private room falls completely silent.

It's graduation celebration season. Waves roar along the shore, and the bonfire blazes.
Song Xiye asks, "Where are my sister and A Huai?"
"They said they were going to get some coal."
At that moment, Xie Jinghuai pins her against a reef and sneers, "We've graduated. When are you going to make me official?"
"Xie Jinghuai, want to kiss?" Song Yumian changes the subject. She lifts her head and licks his Adam's apple, then says with a blush, "Want to try it here?"
No one knows that on the damp, shadowy beach, she and Xie Jinghuai kiss until they're both lost in the moment.
After a long while, the man, lost in jealous thoughts, pants softly. "You're pretty good at this. Where'd you learn?"
