A Sweet Childhood Friends Romance

★Chapter 1★ "Sleeping Beauty"

■Widower romance / friendship turns into something more / reunion after a long separation (?)

When Shi Ling was eighteen, she was in a serious car accident. The good news: she didn't die. The bad news: she became a vegetable.

One day, seven years later, Shi Ling woke up.

To her surprise, the little county hospital was now quite impressive. They even had the money to throw her a grand farewell party, sending her off with a banner that read "Medical Miracle."

She was even more surprised to find that the once-isolated county was now full of traffic, with skyscrapers rising all around.

Her bald attending physician was an old acquaintance. He held up two fingers. "Shen Ting donated this much to us."

Shi Ling thought he meant the farewell party. "...Two hundred yuan?"

The bald doctor smacked the back of her head. "Twenty million! The county even put up a monument in his honor!"

Shi Ling: ???

Was the doctor talking about the little brat who used to follow her around as a kid, asking her to wipe his nose?

-

Shen Ting really had changed a lot.

Shi Ling stared at the man in a suit standing at the door for several seconds. "...Hello? ...Xiao Ting?"

Shen Ting silently met her gaze.

Shi Ling's inner thoughts: Is he going to dislike me now? Or did I get the wrong person? Maybe I should just close the door and pretend nothing happened...

Suddenly, Shen Ting stepped forward.

He held the back of her head and pressed his lips against hers.

Shi Ling: ...?!!!!

*Her best friend suddenly turns into an incubus after seven years

*I only became friends with you because you seemed so innocent!

★Chapter 2★ "Mermaid"

■Grew up together / bickering like grade-schoolers / interspecies romance (?)

Jiaojiao was a mermaid.

The first time she read The Little Mermaid, she cried her eyes out. Chen Zhuo covered her eyes. "Be good. We don't read toxic fish soup like this."

Later, he earnestly warned her, "Don't ever be like her. Only an idiot would give up her voice for love."

Jiaojiao blinked her big eyes. "What's love?"

Chen Zhuo declared, "It's definitely the stupidest thing in the world."

So when he developed feelings for this single-minded, silly mermaid, Chen Zhuo slapped himself in the face and went to the Shaolin Temple, determined to strengthen his resolve and cut off all romantic attachments.

What Chen Zhuo didn't know was that, as a local mermaid, Jiaojiao's natural gift was enchantment :)

-

After nine years of compulsory education, Jiaojiao had become an educated mermaid.

Chen Zhuo came home from the mountain during his break and found Jiaojiao avoiding him. He dragged her in front of him and demanded to know why.

Jiaojiao stammered, "We demons and you monks are enemies! You're definitely trying to capture me."

"Capture you, my foot." Chen Zhuo pinched her cheek and leaned closer. "And I'm a warrior monk, not an ordinary monk."

One morning, Jiaojiao ran into Chen Zhuo in the courtyard after his morning workout.

Cold water streamed down over his lean, defined muscles and mermaid line, while his wet shorts clung to him.

Jiaojiao licked her lips and suddenly felt hungry.

What should she do? She really wanted to eat him... but eating people is wrong TAT

*You're lusting after her body, and... fine, she's lusting after yours too

*Thought she wanted to eat him, but it was actually her mating season X Thought he was being secretly loved, but it was actually her mating season

★Chapter 3★ To be decided...

★Chapter 4★ To be decided...

/A sweet childhood-sweethearts collection of novellas, with a fast pace. Each story could be around 50,000 to 100,000 words.

/Some cute urban fairy tales, light and healing in tone. The heroines are all adorable, and the male leads are all hopeless romantics -3-

/An experimental work. It won't be paywalled. The writing is very amateurish, and since it's not realistic, don't expect any logic^^

Theme: Stay innocent and true to your original aspirations.
