My Seasonal Boyfriend

After being driven to the brink by her landlord and her job, Li Xiao receives a severance package worth N+2 months' pay.

She struggles to hold back her widening smile, takes the money, and leaves.

In a torrential downpour, Li Xiao returns to the old house by the stream.

It's been exactly nine years since her grandmother died, and she hasn't been back.

She wipes the dust off the wooden floor, revealing its simple grain,

then walks across it barefoot, jumping up and down.

She raises cats, turtles, chickens, and geese, and grows vegetables, flowers, and fruit trees.

Delighted, Li Xiao fishes two eggs out of the grass,

only to come face to face with a familiar, gloomy figure.

"Ah, I'd forgotten about this guy."

It was wrong of Li Xiao to tease Qi Xing and then run off.

But they were both willing,

so he doesn't have to act like he's come to settle an old score, does he?

Li Xiao puts a basket of eggs together to make up for all those years of his youth,

but Qi Xing is far too greedy: he takes the eggs, and then demands her too.

In spring, the grass grows lush, and the wooden steps outside Li Xiao's house start to fall apart. Qi Xing repairs them one by one.

In summer, the rain pours down, the roof tiles leak, and the plaster crumbles. Qi Xing climbs onto the roof to replace the tiles and gets out a ladder to repaint the walls.

In autumn, the fruit ripens and the leaves fall. Li Xiao's yard is buried under dry branches and yellow leaves. Qi Xing sweeps them up for compost and picks fruit to make preserves.

In winter, snow falls silently. The fruit trees in Li Xiao's yard need to be kept warm, so Qi Xing makes a special trip back to wrap them round and round with hemp rope.

After doing all that, all he gets from Li Xiao is, "Huh? I thought the village committee was taking care of it."

Li Xiao: By the way, how does a tattooed delinquent boy grow up to become a gloomy, housebound husband?

Qi Xing: Being used and then discarded made me a pervert.

A Taste Paradox: Rich heiress who lives for fun x chef who's a master at cooking

A drizzly spring night.

The guest with a reservation is an hour and a half late.

Wan Ce doesn't want to serve her at first,

but the haughty, arrogant young lady actually pouts and says

she left home early, but had to go catch her boyfriend cheating.

Who would believe that? Wan Ce turns back to the kitchen,

but since he doesn't want to waste the ingredients and wine, he still prepares a whole meal.

She pays three times the bill and gives the waiter an extra tip.

"Wait."

Liang Qianyu hears the low voice and turns around, tipsy.

A handsome man wearing a black apron walks over.

The private restaurant behind him is gradually going dark as it closes,

but he stands out more and more. A delicious man who can cook has appeared.

"Heaven's compensation has finally arrived," Liang Qianyu murmurs.

When she hears him say she doesn't need to pay extra, Liang Qianyu smiles.

"Even if you put it on my tab, I still want to have you."

Eat a meal, eat the food, eat you.

Waiter's inner monologue: The juicy gossip about her fiance getting involved with her cousin is already plenty, thank you for the tip, rich lady!

"Mr. Wan, why does eating too many sweets leave a bitter taste?"

"Because Miss Liang eats too much, too rich, and too poorly."

Liang Qianyu feigns indignation. "But I've never eaten anything second-rate."

"Everything is second-rate except me."
