Long-planned pursuit | Male lead has a secret crush | Age gap
The first time Zhou Niannan met Zhang Yanqing was at a parent-teacher meeting in high school. She and her friend had sneaked off campus and broken school rules, so their homeroom teacher called their parents.
The first thing she said to this stern parent in a suit was a cautious request.
"Could you please not tell your family about this yet?"
The Zhang family's eldest son had been urged by his parents to maintain his sibling relationship. His expression was indifferent and noncommittal, and he didn't even bother to glance her way.
The next day, Zhou Niannan heard from her friend that she'd still been scolded at home.
So years later, when twenty-five-year-old Zhou Niannan ran into her friend's older brother at a convenience store, she still instinctively treated him like an elder.
After all, he was eight years older than them and the current head of the Zhang family. Compared with the past, he was even more powerful and important, and had become far more composed.
Until he suddenly confessed: "I'm single. I'm standing in front of a girl I like very much, hoping she'll look kindly on me."
Zhou Niannan couldn't tell whether it was the alcohol talking or an irresistible flutter in her heart. As if possessed, she took his hand in the dark.
"Could you please not tell your family about us being together yet?"
This time, he had no choice but to say, "All right. I'll do as you say."
*
The beginning and end of Zhang Yanqing's relationship both came down to breaking the deadlock.
The first time he confessed, he was sure she didn't dislike him, and sure that even for his younger sister's sake, she wouldn't reject him if he made a move.
His almost animalistic instincts and wealth of business experience helped him get what he wanted: a girlfriend.
The second time, when he wanted to propose, he tried the same trick.
This time, the relationship ended.
Zhou Niannan was the ceaseless southern wind in his heart, blowing from a New York winter night to a small town in summer. At last, he gathered the wind into his arms.
"Sometimes I worry that you'll discover I'm actually very ordinary."
"Love doesn't require you to be extraordinary."
Reader's Guide: The male lead's confession is from the British film Notting Hill.
(Yes, I edited the blurb again. This is the one hundred and eighth time this hopeless blurb writer has revised it.)
Blurb for the next book, "Today Is an Auspicious Day for Love":
While on a business trip in Las Vegas, Xu Yunxiang experienced the first high-stakes gamble of her life.
She was someone who didn't even play slot machines, but after one reckless kiss in a foreign country, she got a marriage certificate with Chen Jinchuan, the older brother of her childhood friend of twenty-three years.
The good news: The marriage certificate hadn't been notarized yet, so legally speaking, she was still single.
The bad news: He had deigned to move into her little apartment, looking very much like a devoted husband.
Outsiders said she was a master of manipulation when it came to this Schrodinger's marriage.
Only Chen Jinchuan knew how many times he had stolen glances at her before she said, "Yes, I do."
A love kept deep in one's heart is certainly moving, but willingly drowning in the depths of her gaze may not mean defeat either. Chen Jinchuan had the confidence to go all in.

Childhood sweetheart versus her childhood friend's older brother
Theme: Love, growth, and you.
A particularly beautiful urban fairy tale. After reading it, my body spots have faded? [Make me healthy]
The male protagonist is almost 40, haha
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh they… It's so beautiful that they look but look so pretty!! It's so heartwarming. I finished reading it in one go. There is one point that particularly struck me!!! Before they were together, Nannan was living at Sisi's house. Then her ex-boyfriend came over and made Nannan's wrist red!! Mr. Zhang told him that he bought the medicine in the garage and asked Nannan to go to the garage to get the medicine. Wuwuwuwuwu. Very detailed. Very gentleman!!! He didn't go to the door of the house, so he asked Nan Nan to go to the garage. Nan Nan is really cute. Nan Nan and her grandma were walking in front to buy scallion pancakes, and Mr. Zhang was chatting with the neighbor. Mr. Zhang was walking behind. Oh, that scene was so exciting!! That's right!!! The neighbors in the alley were eating in the alley with bowls in their hands, chatting and eating at the same time. Oops, it reminded me of the same thing when I was a child. I would go out to eat with my mother and my mother in a bowl, and I would listen to their chatter and eat at the same time!! The human touch in the alley!! Memories from my childhood. When I grow up, I really don't have that taste anymore. Oops. Zhang who plays straight ball is always something I didn't expect. "I am single, standing in front of a girl I like very much, praying for her favor." He could see that Nan Nan was nervous. He opened his palms to let Nan Nan see the sweat in his palms. He was also very nervous. Nan Nan was really cute. He said to the pig, "Hit you." The introduction to Nan Nan at the beginning. It's so charming, so charming, and I really like Nannan's act of coquettishness against Mr. Zhang's chest from time to time. Who can bear it? No wonder Mr. Zhang is obsessed with her. Grandma, oh, I really love my grandma. "Home is always here." Yes, the place where grandma is is home!! I really didn't expect that my mother had to go through so much. Fortunately, everything has gotten better. Little thing Jiang Meng is enlightened!! It's so late to wake up. We have to wait for a long time!! Sisi is so cute!!! At first I thought it was Mr. Zhang who was breaking the ice with her when he was chatting with her. I didn't expect him to be caring about our Nannan. Hehehe. Hmm... I felt it was a bit abrupt when we were together. How can I put it, I thought we would get together slowly, but I didn't expect that we were together all of a sudden. It felt a little faster. We can slow down a little. Of course, this is a small problem in my opinion, but it is also a perfect article. It's already a good first article like this!!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh actually I wanted to ask when Yun Jin Wei Qing will open!!!!
Zhou Niannan and Zhang Yanqing want to be happy forever
