Shall We Share an Umbrella This Summer?

[Childhood sweethearts, cats and dogs, all that matters is sweetness]

*

When they were kids, their parents had a whim and had Jiang Jingjin and Fu Yuanchu's fortunes told. Apparently, they were destined to stay together for life.

As an adult, Jiang Jingjin scoffed at the idea. The two of them were always at each other's throats, so if anything, they seemed destined to clash.

So when they somehow started arguing again as soon as they began university, she announced that she was cutting ties with Fu Yuanchu.

But Fu Yuanchu clearly didn't see it that way

"Jiang Jingjin." On the sports field, just as she lifted a foot to run, Fu Yuanchu reached out and held her shoulder in place.

With his other hand, he held a soccer ball. He had the swagger of someone who thought he was the greatest thing since sliced bread. He raised his eyes and gestured at the height between them. "Are you holding that umbrella up to slit your boss's throat?"

Jiang Jingjin glared up at him. "...Go to hell!"

Fu Yuanchu nodded at the insult and promptly took out his phone.

A notification sounded, and Jiang Jingjin received a transfer she hadn't accepted.

"I said, go to hell!"

Fu Yuanchu still seemed unable to understand human speech. "Fine. Since you came crawling back first, I'll forgive you."

Jiang Jingjin: "?"

Cheerful, gentle girl who says the most shocking things x irritable, cocky guy with OCD who can't stand not being the first to make up

Childhood sweethearts, cats and dogs. Stay sun-safe and healthy this summer.

My next book is [Sunny Weather on March 6]. Please add it to your bookshelf on my author page~

At a high school reunion years later, her best friend, who'd organized the get-together, raised her chin and took credit with Qin Zhile. "Well? Aren't I great? I even made sure to keep the two of you apart..."

During their three years of high school, teenage hormones ran rampant. Rumors flew about anyone and everyone, whether they knew each other or not. Yet Qin Zhile and Cen Ye sat together for an entire year, and no one dared to pair the two of them up.

Time had passed, and Qin Zhile smiled without answering. Her eyes unconsciously drifted to the man across from her. He still had the same handsome face as when he was a boy, but now he wore a suit and carried himself with mature composure. He was nothing like the old "archenemy" she remembered.

Her best friend casually said, "I heard Cen Ye has been living in Shencheng these past two years. Why don't we go say hello together?"

"Let's not. We don't know each other that well." Qin Zhile smiled and shook her head, as if she meant to put the rumors that they hated each other to rest for good.

But after the party, in a dimly lit corner of the parking lot, the man pinned her by the waist. She arched her neck into a beautiful, vulnerable line as she was forced to endure the soft, rapid kisses he planted beside her ear.

"So, Qin Zhile," Cen Ye said, his low voice brimming with amusement, "is it more exciting to be kissed by someone you barely know?"

-

Cen Ye had liked Qin Zhile in high school, and that was as far as it went, since she liked someone else back then.

But when they met again later, he realized that little crush was surprisingly hard to forget.

Still, Qin Zhile was even more baffling than she'd been in high school.

Back then, she seemed to treat him like some random extra. Now, it seemed like she treated him as a fuck buddy :)
