After her parents divorced, Qiao An lived with her mother back home, while her father worked as a truck driver in the United States. At her father Zhou Ming’s new home, she saw Arthur again. At first, Qiao An thought she and Arthur hated each other and were sworn enemies. All she wanted was for them to stay out of each other’s way for the month. Once school started, he could go back to being the star quarterback, adored by everyone, while she could be an ordinary international student. He needn’t worry. She promised she wouldn’t get involved with him at school. Then things started to go wrong. Because of work, Zhou Ming was away from home several days a week. Her stepmother, Susan, was busy with work and couldn’t always look after Qiao An in time, so the responsibility of “taking care” of her fell to Arthur. In the blazing summer heat, in an upstairs bedroom at home, the sexy, handsome quarterback made sure, day and night, that the girl in his arms was very well “taken care of.” - After school started, Qiao An’s friend took her to a football team party. Her friend insisted that anyone who missed tonight’s party would regret it. Normally, they would never get the chance to see the campus’s biggest star. The moment the party’s eagerly awaited guest of honor appeared, he instantly drew everyone’s attention. Unable to push her way past the muscular American students, Qiao An and her friend stayed in a corner. Even so, her friend turned back to her again and again, practically buzzing with excitement. “See? Wasn’t it totally worth coming with me? You don’t get many chances to see Arthur this close. Normally, there’s no way!” “I heard someone once hid in the gym all night just to watch them practice… Oh my gosh, Qiao An, look! Is that a girl’s hair tie on Arthur’s wrist?” When Qiao An didn’t answer, her friend looked over at her. “Sure, Arthur’s handsome, but you don’t have to blush that much just because you’re crushing on him!” Qiao An left the party to get some air, but a man pulled her into an empty room off the hallway. Arthur folded his arms and looked at her with a cold laugh. “Who said she couldn’t see me while she was studying?” Thinking about how popular he’d been at the party, Qiao An felt a little jealous. “…I didn’t come to see you in the first place. I don’t want to see you at all tonight.” “You don’t want to see me?” With a soft laugh, the room lights went out. Moonlight was the only illumination, and Qiao An, who was night-blind, couldn’t see a thing. She took two steps forward, then the man suddenly wrapped his arms around her from behind, his powerful arms locking her firmly against him. His large hand tilted her chin back, and she raised her head to meet his domineering, lingering kiss. “Coming back to my apartment tonight?” “But… I promised I’d go home.” “Fine. Don’t lock your door. I’ll come to your room later.” Unfortunately, their secret was eventually discovered, and Qiao An reluctantly suggested they break up. When the new semester began, they truly became complete strangers at school. Even when they passed each other on campus, no one would ever have guessed that Arthur Filer, the campus star, had anything to do with an ordinary international student. At parties, wherever he was, he was always the center of attention. When Qiao An finally got the chance to speak to him, she worked up the courage to approach. “Arthur…” At the center of the crowd, the handsome blond man looked up at her coldly. “Do I know you?” With one sentence, he completely silenced the apology Qiao An had wanted to offer. The crowd pushed her away, and Qiao An understood all too clearly: Without their relationship, the distance between them was so vast. Later, on a cold, damp night, the man, out of control, pinned the girl against the door, his strong arms tightly wrapped around her waist. Afraid to reveal how much he cared, even more afraid of losing her again, he held back and held back until he finally spoke in a low, trembling voice. “Don’t tell me you regret breaking up with me.” She wanted to answer, but he was already cupping her face and kissing her fiercely. Qiao An couldn’t speak, so she answered his kiss with her own. “Then can I say that I miss you?” What was there to say? It was something he went through every single day anyway. “Tell me, Zhou Qiao An, that you miss me.” - Weibo: Lizhi Guojiangz - Reader’s Guide: 1. Both leads are sexually inexperienced, one-on-one, with the male lead secretly in love in a very not-subtle way, and pursuing the female lead. Note: The male lead is extremely devoted and spoils the female lead until she gets a little carried away. 2. Cohabitation, pseudo-siblings, American college setting, size difference. The female lead is Chinese and the male lead is American. The male lead’s mother marries the female lead’s father, but the male lead lives with his dad and the female lead with her mom. They have no legal or biological relation whatsoever. (Because of the pseudo-sibling setup, the two break up in the story. It’s not pure fluff, but they don’t reunite after a long separation; they break up and get back together, with plenty of back-and-forth.) 3. Many original fictional elements and an imaginary setting. Everything serves the plot, so please don’t compare it to real life. Thank you! 4. Important: In this fictional setting, 18 is the legal drinking age. The football game descriptions also include many invented elements, and some rules have been simplified for readability. This is not a competitive sports novel, so please bear with me. Thank you. Theme: Be brave enough to pursue your dreams, broaden your horizons, and gain life experience.
